EDITOR’S NOTE: The following article is written by Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey.
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – On Tuesday, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office arrested 21-year-old, Andrew William Shelley of Merritt Island for causing severe injuries to his 3-month-old daughter.
The investigation began this morning when Agents with the Sheriff’s Office were contacted by the Department of Children and Families in reference to an infant that was in critical condition at Arnold Palmer Hospital.
The subsequent investigation revealed that the infant was transferred to Arnold Palmer after the mother brought the child to a local hospital in Brevard County just after midnight.
Medical personnel advised that the infant had sustained significant trauma to the head and chest area that were obviously caused by physical abuse.
Agents determined that the injuries to the infant occurred while the mother was at work and the victim was being cared for by Shelley. The victim remains in the hospital in critical condition.
Shelley, who was charged with Child Neglect and 4 counts of Aggravated Child Abuse was transported to the Brevard County Jail where he is being held on a “No Bond” status.
I am disgusted by the actions of this coward and find it hard to imagine that anyone could be so evil and heartless as to attack and injure an innocent infant!
Behind the bars of the Brevard County Jail is the only place suitable for someone like this and I am extremely thankful for our Agents who made sure that’s exactly where he is!

My cousin went to work with a happy healthy baby girl and came home from work to disaster. When she went to feed Low she realized she was having a seizure. On the way to the the children’s hospital hospital she had at least 7 seizures in the ambulance. They gave her the 3 main meds to stop the seizures with no help. Within 12 hours she was in surgery to insert tubes to help drain the blood in her head. My cousins baby girl has a fractured skull, blood on her brain and a cracked rib. She is going to be sedated for three days and then they will wake her up to see how she is doing. She has tubes inserted through her scalp and skull to drain the fluid and relieve the pressure. They will be in ICU for a minimum of three weeks. I’m hoping Low does not have brain damage but the amount of trauma was severe so she might you just never know they said. My cousin brought her to the hospital thinking she was sick and running a fever and that maybe it was the cause of her seizures. Turns out her father was aggravated and took his frustrations out on her around 2:30 yesterday he hurt her (he has changed his story multiple times) My cousin didn't get home for 8 hours. In those 8 hours he didn't call anyone to let them know that she was not waking up not making noises and twitching (most likely small seizures) Once at the hospital it took him another 4 to 5 hours of my cousin messaging him begging for the truth of what happened for him to confess to what he did. She of course told the police right away. The police arrested him and now my cousin who is a single mother with baby Low and another daughter age 12 will be out of work watching her daughter closely. This money will be to help cover medical bills and help keep a roof over their head while Low recovers. Please share or help in any way you can.
