Police reported that early Tuesday morning they were alerted by personnel from the Mayagüez Medical Center about a 10-month-old child who arrived convulsing and with a skull fracture, taken by his mother to receive medical assistance.
According to the authorities, the complainant, a nurse at the institution, indicated that a woman, a resident of the Jardines de Concordia housing complex in Mayagüez, arrived with her 10-month-old son, who was having convulsions.
After performing a CT scan of the infant’s head, the doctor on duty diagnosed a cranial fracture. The child, who was intubated, was referred to another hospital in San Juan where he will continue under medical treatment.
As part of the protocol in such cases, Department of Family Affairs staff and Agent Janitza Rodríguez of the Mayagüez Sexual Crimes Division were notified, and will continue with the investigation.
Agent David Noguet, assigned to the Mayagüez district, conducted a preliminary investigation into the complaint.
The Police Department urged citizens to provide any information that may help solve the case by calling the Puerto Rico Police Bureau’s confidential line at 787-343-2020. They can also write through X (formerly Twitter) at @PRPDNoticias or Facebook at www.facebook.com/prpdgov.
