FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) - Farmington police say an infant is in state custody and his parents are facing abuse charges.
Police spokeswoman Georgette Allen says officers arrived at a Farmington motel Thursday after getting a call about an unresponsive child. The caller told police a couple was in the lobby arguing and the 7-month-old child would not wake up.
The child was taken to a local hospital and placed into the custody of the Children, Youth and Families Department. Allen said Monday the boy is doing well.
