Melissa Jenkins arrested 4 months after son's fractured skull

A 29-year-old Boise mother accused of fracturing her 8-month-old son’s skull in October is charged with felony injury to child.

Melissa S. Jenkins turned herself in at the Ada County Jail hours after a warrant was issued for her arrest by Ada County prosecutors.

The child survived and is currently in the custody of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, according to Boise Police reports.

Boise police began their investigation on Oct. 20, when they were called to a local hospital after medical staff reported a child with a suspicious head injury was admitted earlier that day.

Detectives determine the 8-month-old boy was injured the day before at an East Boise home and determined him in imminent danger.

Jenkins is accused of striking the baby’s head on a hard surface and fracturing his skull on Oct. 19, according to Ada County court records.

Neither Boise police or Ada County prosecutors have released any other details on the case, including a possible motive for the injury or why it took four months to charge Jenkins with the crime.

Jenkins posted a $5,000 bond and left the Ada County Jail after being arrested Tuesday. The maximum possible penalty for a felony injury to child is 10 years in prison.

Just how the hell can people do this shit? When my 1 yo bops his head on the coffee table or TV stand, he scrunches up his face a starts bawling with this look on his face like "What the hell just happened?" and I admit I cry, and even feel bad although he's the one that wanted to headbang on the coffee table! Point is if something that minor gets ME worked up how the hell do these people live with themselves after FORCEFULLY and WILLFULLY bashing their baby heads into shit.... damn it just pisses me off to no end, I wish there was more I could do for these victims, as it is I just be sure to love my kids a little more with each sad story I read.
