McKinney, TX – A Texas couple has been arrested after a 3-year-old boy was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, including a brain bleed and multiple bruises, that doctors say could not have been caused by a single fall. Authorities allege the child’s mother and her boyfriend were responsible for the abuse that left the toddler on life support.
The Incident: Toddler Found Unresponsive After Reported “Thud”
On October 14, Christopher Thomas Alexander, 30, brought Dawson Cain Zamora, his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son, to a hospital in McKinney, roughly 35 miles north of Dallas. Alexander reportedly told medical staff that he heard a “thud” before finding the child injured.
Doctors quickly determined that Dawson’s injuries were inconsistent with that explanation. The child was suffering from a brain bleed, multiple bruises in various stages of healing, and trauma to his chest and abdomen, according to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office.
Medical personnel contacted local authorities after concluding the boy’s wounds “could not have been caused by a single fall.”…
