Police: Baby Wouldn't Bend Her Legs During Diaper Change
KEENESBURG, Colo. -- A Keenesburg father has been arrested and accused of breaking both legs of his 8-month-old daughter because she wouldn't bend her legs while he tried to change her diaper, police said.
Justin Brandon Roth, 21, is being held on a felony child abuse charge.
Court records indicate his family said he has "anger issues," according to the Greeley Tribune. Roth is being held on $100,000 bond.
The incident occurred Saturday night at the Roth house north of Keenesburg. The girl's mother told sheriff's deputies that she left the girl with her husband on Saturday night when she went to work.
The injuries were not found by the mother until the Sunday morning when she tried to change the baby's diaper. The girl cried when she was touched, and her legs wouldn't bend.
The mother called her pediatrician, who told her to take the baby to Children's Hospital in Denver. There, doctors said the baby suffered two leg fractures, according to the Weld County Sheriff's Office. The baby also had numerous bruises to her legs, collar bone, ribs and jaw.
Roth later told deputies that he didn't know how the girl was injured.
“He then said that while baby-sitting she started crying so he started to change (the baby's) diaper. She straightened her legs and would not bend them. Justin admitted that this was frustrating and that he might have applied more force to her legs than he intended,” according to court affidavits obtained by the Greeley Tribune.
Roth was arrested Saturday and booked into the Weld County Jail.
