A Georgia teen is facing multiple charges after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said a baby was found with several fractures.
Last month, on June 8, the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office along with the GBI began investigating an infant child abuse case.
Deputies said the baby was taken to a Florida Hospital with a fractured skull and two healing leg fractures.
On June 27, around 3 p.m., Colquitt County investigators arrested and charged Juni Benavides,19, with cruelty to children in the 1st degree and cruelty to children in the 2nd degree.
She was booked in the Colquitt County Jail.
The GBI said the child has since been released and is recovering from the injuries. The baby’s identity has not been released.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Thomasville at 229-225-4090.
