A mother and her live-in boyfriend were arrested after the woman's 2-year-old daughter suffered extensive bruising, a fractured skull and possible internal injuries, the Sutter County Sheriff's Department said Friday.
Kimberly Ann Kennedy, 29, and Michael Jason Michelet, 28, of the 1900 block of Woodleaf Drive, were in custody at the Sutter County Jail on suspicion of child cruelty, inflicting injury on a child and battery with serious bodily injury. Bail was set at $200,000 each.
The incident began Thursday with a medical call to the couple's house at 12:20 p.m. for the unresponsive 2-year-old, Sgt. Randall Pack said.
The child was initially taken to Rideout Memorial Hospital, but was later lifeflighted to University of California, Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Pack said.
Michelet, who Pack identified as the primary caretaker, claimed the injuries were accidental. Kennedy is a student at Yuba College.
"His contention is he put the child down for a nap and she must have fell out of bed because he heard a noise and when he went to investigate, he found her unresponsive," Pack said.
But the injuries don't match up with that claim, the detective said.
"There's no way that the injuries could have occurred with a fall of that particular distance," Pack said. "She had extensive bruising throughout her body."
The injuries on the toddler also appear to have been occurring over a period of time, Pack said.
"It's inconsistent with the explanation given by both individuals," he said.
An 8-year-old girl also in the house has been placed into foster care by Child Protective Service.
