Tot Had to Have Part of Skull Removed After Suffering Blunt Force Trauma
Two people, Amy Cave and Craig Neill, have denied causing serious brain injuries to a Darlington toddler who suffered blunt force trauma to her head.
The toddler was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after collapsing. Teesside Crown Court heard that 20-year-old Cave was at the property when paramedics arrived to treat the child.
Rupert Doswell KC, prosecuting, said Cave took a photograph of the medics treating the toddler before posting it onto Snapchat during the incident on May 26, this year.
Cave was arrested and charged with allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm. Her co-accused, Neill, told police he was not present when the injuries were inflicted on the child.
