A Maryland father and the child’s mother face child abuse charges after their 2-month-old daughter dies from severe head trauma, according to reports. The father reportedly told investigators he blamed “Satan” for the injuries.
The cases are being treated as abusive conduct rather than accidental harm. Different outlets focus on the father’s remarks about “Satan” and the nature of the injuries, but both describe the same central allegation: that the infant’s death results from “horrific” or severe head trauma while the parents are held responsible through criminal charges.
As the matter proceeds, prosecutors are expected to rely on medical findings and other evidence to determine how the injuries occurred. The father’s comments are presented in the coverage as part of investigators’ account of what he said after the child was hurt, alongside the formal accusations brought against both parents.
