Winnipeg parents charged after infant brought to hospital with signs of abuse, police say
A Winnipeg couple face child abuse charges after hospital staff called police about injuries to their infant daughter.
Police say the girl was taken to an emergency room in late September, unresponsive and suffering from multiple injuries.
Const. Claude Chancy told 680 CJOB that doctors determined the girl’s condition was a result of malnutrition and abuse.
“We were alerted by hospital officials … regarding an infant who had been brought into emergency suffering from suspicious injuries,” he said.
