OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha couple has been charged with intentional child abuse after the man threw his 8-month-old baby against a wall, causing a skull fracture, and the girl's mother did nothing for days after witnessing the attack.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that prosecutors say both 23-year-old Theodor Hurt and 24-year-old Dakota Vick initially lied about what happened to the girl.
Hurt eventually told police that he threw his daughter across the room into a crib and the wall because he was frustrated that she was fussy.
Initially, Hurt and Vick both initially said the girl had fallen off a couch twice on Nov. 19. They took her to the hospital on Nov. 22.
