Toddler girl dies after mom’s boyfriend strikes her in head & mom smacks her stop seizures: Police

October 22, 2018

"A Texas couple could face upgraded charges after allegedly admitting to causing the head injuries that led to the death of the woman’s 2-year-old daughter....

Police said the boyfriend of the slain child’s mother, Joshua Thomas Fulbright, 23, admitted to striking Newsom on the left side of her head last week, leaving a sizable bruise. Fulbright claimed her mother, Sarah Elizabeth Newsom, 23, was in the room when he smacked her daughter, according to KFDX.

Fulbright reportedly said it was the following day when the 2-year-old began exhibiting seizure-like symptoms and vomited multiple times. According to the news station, police claimed the girl’s mother confessed to repeatedly smacking her daughter to stop her seizures before she became unresponsive.

The mother and boyfriend were charged with injury to a child four days before the toddler’s death. They remain jailed on $250,000 bail each."

YESorNO for the new articles.

Keep me updated? :D
 
Oh, come ON- pounding on the poor baby when she's seizing??? I'm with Niner; that poor baby deserved so much better (and the "parents" can't be that stupid, can they? <sigh>). Makes me sick at heart.
 
So Clay County is the 97th District Court. The link to the Court above is for Florida.
97thdistrictcourt | Court Dockets/Calendar
Every search lands me back on this website. It is not searchable unless the Docket is posted on the links. I can't find any court dates for these two . . .people.

So I'm going to guess - if it doesn't have Clay County on that page, they don't have any hearings for those dates. I'll keep an eye out on this page. Adding to my list. :)
