A Mother is facing charges after her 1-year-old son shot himself Monday.
Rashaunda Rogers, 24, was charged with one count each of endangering children, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability in Vandalia Municipal Court.
On Monday, Feb. 11, deputies were called to Dayton Children’s Hospital on reports of a 1-year-old with a head injury, according to court documents.
Deputies spoke with the child’s mother, identified as Rogers, and her fiancé who both arrived at the hospital with the child.
A medical social worker told deputies that the child had a severe cut to his forehead exposing his skull, with a possible fracture and an active brain bleed.
Both Rogers and her fiancé said they believed the child ran into a metal T.V. stand but didn’t witness what happened.
