Police said the woman who had been fostering the baby and his 2-year-old brother gave multiple stories explaining how the 6-month-old came to have such severe injuries.
NEW CANEY, Texas -- A foster mother in New Caney was arrested and charged with injury to a child with severe bodily injury after police said a 6-month-old baby boy was found unresponsive with a skull fracture in her home.
"They were able to provide a lot of evidence that's consistent with shaken baby syndrome," said Carlisle."They're severe enough that it could lead to permanent damage," said Carlisle. She initially told 911 dispatchers the older brother threw a softball at the baby. Then she told police he threw a phone at the baby. She later changed her story again to say the baby hit his head on a dresser.
