The parents of a 3-month-old girl were arrested Tuesday after the baby was hospitalized with two broken arms, brain bleeding and severe burns on her hand, officials reported.

Investigators obtained a warrant to remove the infant from the care of Daniel Howard Mercer, 27, and Whittney Huber, 30.

This is the third biological child to be removed from Huber’s care, according to a police report from the Spanish Fork Police Department. The woman lost custody of two other children after she was charged with child abuse and neglect.

Spanish Fork police detectives responded to the University of Utah Burn Center on Monday after staff reported a child had suspicious injuries. Doctors said the 3-month-old girl had second-degree burns covering most of her left hand.

The next day, doctors at Primary Children’s Hospital said the baby also had two broken humerus bones on her left and right arm and brain bleeding consistent with being shaken. The infant suffered possible eye injuries that could also lead to loss of vision, investigators reported.

“It is still to be determined whether the infant child will need surgeries of many sorts to repair the damage done to her little body,” according to the police report.

Doctors said the injuries occurred sometime during the past two weeks. The baby will remain in the hospital for an undetermined amount of time, the probable cause report stated.

Officers arrested Mercer and Huber at their apartment in Spanish Fork after the couple returned from the hospital. The parents reportedly gave deceptive statements during initial interviews with investigators, according to the police report.

Mercer reportedly told officers he was being reckless on Monday and caused the burns to the baby’s hand. He also reportedly threatened Huber twice, saying that “he would ‘kill the baby and make her watch as the baby died,’” the police report stated.

Neighbor Megan Wayman says she frequently babysat the child because Mercer and Huber would leave her alone.

“I wish I would have seen it sooner, and done things sooner,” Wayman said. “He’s actually thrown a frying pan at the baby. He’s done a lot it’s disgusting, it disturbs me a lot that they would do that.”
Wayman claims she contacted police twice in November about the child’s welfare.
