Spring toddler hospitalized
The backstory:
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez stated last week that the couple had approached constable deputies in Spring last Thursday seeking help for an unresponsive toddler.
Precinct 4 authorities started helping the child until paramedics arrived. She was then taken to a hospital and medical personnel reportedly found "multiple life-threatening injuries."
Investigators later determined that Gerardo Gonzalez had assaulted his girlfriend's toddler multiple times, causing her injuries. Records say he admitted to striking the child and stomping on her.
Gonzalez's bond is currently set at $1 million.
