The mother of a one-year-old child is facing charges for allegedly breaking her son’s arm.
This incident goes back to November 2021 according to police. 21-year-old Kylie Slattery of Butler brought her child to a BMH Faster Care location for a swollen left arm.
The child was transferred to UPMC Children’s where doctors identified the swelling as a broken arm.
Charging documents say that after a follow up appointment later that month revealed the child had suffered a new injury to their right leg.
Doctors concluded that the cause was most likely child abuse. Slattery denied those claims to police.
However, investigators found probable cause to charge Slattery with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
