Lauck told police one of her friends is responsible for abusing the toddler. She is not being accused of actually abusing her son, but police say she waited nearly 18 hours before bringing the abused child to the hospital.
"At some point she did actually have contact with the child, [saw] the child, [knew] the child was injured and did nothing about that," Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said.
A police report released Wednesday revealed the toddler was taken to Children's Hospital on Sunday with numerous bruises on his body. The boy had an injury on the base of his skull with the possibility of brain injury.
"[The] scalp was removed, part of it," family member Stacy Felkins said as she held back tears.
Felkins is a distant cousin to the baby's mother. She says her family found out the boy had lye burns on his throat, face and eyes, had been sexually abused, forced to drink bleach and hanged from a ceiling with a dog collar.
