A warrant accuses Contreras of inflicting injuries on the toddler in August and that those injuries caused the death of the child. Daniel says the child had a completely severed spine, blood in the entire left chest cavity and other injuries that looked like they were healing.

Contreras’ relatives says he’s not guilty and would have never done anything to harm his son.
