CARY, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man has been charged by authorities following a tip from a hospital’s emergency staff that a 4-year-old girl had suspicious injuries.
Police in Cary charged 27-year-old Ronald Frazier with attempted first-degree murder and felony child abuse.
The child’s mother, 27-year-old Kylie Morgan Hamilton, was arrested last week on a felony child abuse charge. She was arrested after authorities said she delayed getting medical help for her daughter after her boyfriend caused skull fractures and bruises.
