Infant ‘accidentally’ kicked by father

Apr 05, 2013 News

 

–    Suffers fractured skull
A three-week-old baby suffered a fractured skull after being mistakenly kicked by his father late Wednesday night.
The infant, Shemar Yankana was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) at around 10:30pm on Wednesday and was immediately taken for a CT-Scan where it was confirmed that the baby sustained a fractured skull and there was severe bleeding in and around the brain.
When the child was taken back to the hospital’s emergency room after the CT-Scan was done, his mother, who was reportedly told by persons at the hospital that her husband would be charged, used another entrance at the health facility and left with the injured infant.
There are reports that the couple was involved in an argument which later led to a brawl. During the brawl, little Shemar was allegedly kicked by his father.
Yesterday, Kaieteur News managed to contact the father of the child via telephone. He gave his name as Shawn Anderson and requested the reporter to meet him at his home located at Quamina Street, Georgetown.
When the reporter showed up at the given address, it was revealed that the address housed a store, while the adjacent building was a privately owned clinic.
The man’s cellular phone was turned off up to press time. Meanwhile, this publication checked all the hospitals around Georgetown to locate the infant and his mother, but the child had not been admitted to any of them.
Police are investigating.
