Police Say Child Had Severe Bruising All Over Body
http://www.wtae.com/news/29179761/detail.html#ixzz1Xx5M7CpfSPRINGHILL TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A Fayette County woman and her boyfriend have been arrested after the death of her 4-year-old son.
Channel 4 Action News' Ashlie Hardway reported the couple brought Trenton Lewis St. Clair to Ruby Memorial Hospital on Tuesday.
The boy was unresponsive when he was brought in and he later died, Hardway reported.
According to police reports, the child had severe bruising all over his body and doctors told police the injuries "were intensive and consistent with physical abuse."
The boy's mother, Heather Louise Forsythe, 27, and her boyfriend, Patrick Ray Haney, 27, are both facing charges in connection with the child's death.
Police said when they interviewed the pair, Forsythe admitted that Haney had been physically abusing and choking the child for the past few weeks. Forsythe told police that when she said she wanted to take her son to the hospital, Haney told her that he would go to jail.
Police said Haney admitted to hitting the boy in the face and striking him on the back of the head as a form of discipline because the boy wouldn't listen.
The couple and the child lived in Point Marion and police said the couple had been together for about a year.
Haney is facing criminal homicide charges and Forsythe has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
