Christina Benjamin, 25, seems to think that infants do not need medical attention right away, no matter how bad their injuries are. She apparently didn't want to make any rash decisions until she had a chance to discuss the situation with the infant's father, Scott Archbold, 41. She let the baby suffer for two whole days before she even brought it up to Archbold and waited for him to admit what was wrong before she brought her daughter to the emergency room.
On Wednesday night, Christina's mother was changing the 5-month-old's diaper when she noticed her leg was bruised and swollen. She mentioned the injury to Christina Benjamin and thought she was taking her to a doctor to check out that leg, but Christina instead took the child home.
Two days passed before Christina mentioned what her mother had seen to the child's father. Archbold just said that the baby may have also suffered some facial injuries. Oh, well in that case, Christina decided to take the child to the hospital. All I need to ask is What.. The.. Fuck? Are facial injuries more important than the swelling from a leg injury? Or is Archbold some sort of doctor and she needed his opinion first? I don't understand the point of waiting Christina, your baby needed you and you failed her.
Long Island Jewish Medical Center admitted the 5-month-old child to the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit due to the fractures in the baby's ribs, clavicle, and legs. They also may have found evidence that this isn't the first time she has been abused, either. Police issued a statement that they weren't sure if the baby was going to survive.
Because of Christina Benjamin sitting on her ass and not getting medical attention for her daughter, she has been charged with child endangerment. Scott Archbold has been charged with felony assault for the injuries the baby received. Police aren't sure how he hurt the baby, but they do know he was the one responsible for her injuries.
