Dad Arrested for Rough Handling of Infant
9 Sep
Summary
- Father arrested for child endangerment due to rough handling.
- Infant sustained fractures to arm, leg, and ribs.
- Physician deemed the injuries 'non-accidental' abuse.
A father, Vincent Marino, 31, was arrested and jailed on Tuesday for child endangerment offenses. The charges stem from allegations that he was excessively rough with his 5-week-old son, who sustained multiple fractures. These injuries include breaks to the upper right arm, left leg, and ribs, all deemed 'non-accidental' by a physician expert in child abuse cases.
Detectives learned of the case on May 18 when a caseworker was informed about the infant's injuries at Geisinger Medical Center. Marino initially told authorities he dropped the baby when startled by a cat. However, court records indicate the boy's grandmother had previously warned Marino about handling the infant too roughly, emphasizing the baby's fragility.
