A Beech Grove couple faces neglect charges and more after a baby in their care was admitted to Riley Hospital in septic shock due likely stemming from injuries to the baby's anus and colon.
The couple, Mercedes Wilson and Devaughnte Bauer face neglect charges. Wilson also faces charges of obstruction of justice and false informing.
Court documents allege the couple were given permission to care for the baby and a sibling by their mother, because the mother was moving to Oklahoma to be with her new fiancé.During the investigation, one doctor told police the injuries led them to be “highly suspicious of sexual abuse”. When questioned about the injuries, Wilson said they may have been caused from the use of a spoon on the child’s anus to help with constipation, according to court documents.
According to a doctor’s interview, the explanation of a spoon causing the injuries was not likely, according to court documents. What caused the baby’s injuries was believed to be an object larger than 15 centimeters in length – which would rule out a spoon.
