Man in custody after infant hospitalized with rib injuries
A Hardin County man is in custody on an abuse charge after a baby was treated for injuries at a hospital.
Austin Webster of Cecilia was charged with Class D Felony Second Degree Criminal Abuse following his arrest Wednesday.
According to the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office, deputies with the office’s Criminal Investigations Unit received information on a two-month old infant from Hardin County who was being treated at Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville with three bilateral healing rib fractures. The mother of the child identified Webster as a possible suspect in an interview with detectives and Child Protective Services.
During an interview with detectives and CPS, Webster said the infant had been experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort and he attempted a technique he had seen on social media in hopes of relieving the child’s symptoms. The sheriff’s office says Webster “further acknowledged that he handled the infant in a rough manner and that his actions likely caused the rib fractures.”
Webster is currently lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center. He is due to appear in Hardin District Court Thursday morning.
The sheriff’s office reminds residents to seek medical guidance from licensed professionals rather than social media.
