Police Investigate Possible Abuse of Toddler

The 20-month-old boy had a fractured skull.

State police are investigating a possible child abuse case after a 20-month-old boy was brought to a hospital with a fractured skull, broken left arm and other injuries.

State police announced the investigation this week and said the boy's biological mother brought him to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington on Friday and claimed he was in the custody of her estranged husband when he was injured.

Troopers haven't released the parents' names. Police said they executed search warrants at locations in Torrington and New Hartford and interviewed several witnesses. No arrests have been made.

The boy was transferred to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford. His condition isn't clear.

State child welfare officials were called in and are taking care of a second child involved in the case.
