This week, police took a Texas couple into custody after they found the body of an 8-month-old baby in their home.
The Odessa Police Department’s arrest report said that the boy’s face and head on the left side were badly bruised and swollen. This was a horrible thing to say.
Investigators say that there were also a few small wounds around the top of the dead baby’s head.
In a similar way, the officers found what looked like dog poop on the floor of the couple’s apartment.
Before the police showed up, the couple allegedly tried to get rid of some of the mess.
Kameron Gammage says that the baby hurt himself when he hit his head on a hard part of the crib’s interior.
