What police say happened in a home on a quiet east side cul-de-sac shattered bones and shattered a family.
Kyle Rice, 26, is charged with physically abusing his now-two-month-old foster daughter.
Doctors say the baby suffered up to 35 fractures to a leg, ribs, hands and feet.
Police say it happened just before Christmas. Court papers say the infant was particularly fussy while mom was gone, “spitting out milk from her bottle and had an accident while Kyle Rice changed her diaper.”
An affidavit says the child “continued to cry and wouldn’t calm down.” At that point Rice allegedly admits “he squeezed her forcefully against his body...INDIANAPOLIS.” He then put the baby on an ottoman and squeezed her hands and feet together.
“He squeezed her for about ten seconds and he knew he had done it too hard,” police said.
The doctor told police if the baby wasn’t removed from the abuser’s home right away “she is at significant risk of further, possibly fatal, injury.”
Parents who would have been screened by the system. Kyle Rice and his wife have one birth child, plus the newborn foster child who was injured and three children they brought in as foster kids then adopted last year.
