Father charged with child abuse after daughter taken to Hurley Medical Center

ABC12 NewsFLINT (WJRT) -- (09/26/09) -- An eight-week-old baby is in critical condition at a Flint hospital this weekend, the apparent victim of child abuse.

Flint Police say the baby girl is at Hurley Medical Center suffering from a serious skull fracture.
Authorities learned of the girl's condition Friday night.

They've taken her 24-year-old father into custody. The man is in the Genesee County Jail after the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office issued a warrant charging him with first- and third-degree child abuse.

He has not yet been formally charged in court, but that could happen as early as tomorrow or Monday.

If you have any information on the case, please call Flint Police.
