"Baby" MILLS - 9 Months - Waterloo IA

Poster's Note: A spiral fracture is indicative of a bone that was twisted until it was broken

WATERLOO, Iowa --- A Waterloo father has been arrested after his child suffered a broken leg.

Police were called to Covenant Medical Center Thursday for a 9-month-old child with a suspicious injury.

Doctors determined the child had a spiral fracture to the femur.

The break was inconsistent with what the father said happened,
court records state, and the dad later admitted he believed he may
have broken the leg while changing a diaper.





The father, Brandon Mills, 23, of 1250 Downing Court, was
arrested Jan. 12 at the police station for felony child
endangerment, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison upon conviction.

Mills was taken to the Black Hawk County Jail.

This is really bad. It's not easy to break a leg on a baby, their bones are rather soft. It would cause excruciating pain.
