Police in Liberty County, Georgia have arrested 29-year-old Christian Ballard and charged him with Cruelty to a Child.
Monday morning 911 was called and officers found a toddler unresponsive with serious head injuries. The child was taken to Memorial University Medical Center and had immediate surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain. The little boy is now in critical but apparently stable condition.
During questioning Ballard admitted to having dropped the child on his head, supposedly by accident. The boy’s mother was at work and Ballard was watching the child at the time. He is the boyfriend of the boy’s aunt. Both Ballard and the aunt live with the mother and child.
