“On June 20, 2024 Red Deer RCMP were notified by Child and Family Services of a young child in the hospital with serious injuries,” police said. “After additional investigation and consultation, it was determined that the injuries were consistent with an assault. On June 27, 2024, officers arrested the father of the child.”
The man, who police did not identify by name in order to protect the child’s identity, has been charged with aggravated assault, failing to provide the necessaries of life and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
The accused was released from custody but the RCMP said he must abide by a number of conditions.
