JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville man is facing child abuse charges one night after police said the man's 15-month-old stepchild was taken to the hospital with a fractured skull.
Police said Chaddrick Banks had been watching the child Monday night when he called 911 and told a dispatcher the baby had "just stopped breathing."
When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, police said doctors found the baby's skull was fractured and there was bleeding in the brain.
Police said Banks' description of the events was not consistent with the injuries.
He's been charged with aggravated child abuse.
The baby remains in critical condition.
