DES MOINES, Iowa -- A Des Moines father has been charged with child endangerment after his son suffered severe injuries, police said Friday.
Paul Davis, 18, was arrested and charged after his 5-month-old son, Christopher, was brought to Mercy Medical Center emergency room on Thursday.
Police said Christopher had a fractured skull, broken neck, subdural hematomas to the head and multiple bruises on his body.
................................
Davis told police that he and his wife, Kayla Phipps-Davis, 16, got into an argument in the home. Kayla left the home to take a walk.
Davis said the baby was crying as he sat in his swing. He said he snatched the baby out of the swing and threw the baby in his crib. He said he then grabbed the child from out of the crib and shook him in an attempt to keep him awake until he fell limp.
