WATCH: Sumter parents charged after infant injured
A mother and father were each charged Saturday morning with unlawful conduct toward a child, after a nine-week-old suffered multiple fractures
SUMTER, S.C. (WOLO) – A mother and father were each charged Saturday morning with unlawful conduct toward a child, after a nine-week-old suffered multiple fractures.
Police were notified earlier this week by the state Department of Social Services, which was called in response to an infant brought to Palmetto Health Tuomey with a broken femur.
Further examination of the infant at a Columbia area hospital found the baby also suffered several other fractures, which were in various stages of healing.
Her parents Alicia Nicole Anderson, 20, and Adam Justin Little, 22, both of Sumter, were taken into custody Saturday morning and are being held at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center pending bond.
The infant, who is doing fine and is expected to make a full recovery, has been placed in emergency protective custody.
An investigation continues.
