A 35-year-old Alberta man has been charged with aggravated assault after a 10-week-old baby was injured in late November.
On Nov. 29, Peace River RCMP were notified that the infant was admitted to an Edmonton-area hospital with “several injuries.”
RCMP would not release any details about what led to the baby’s injuries. The infant’s name will not be released in order to protect the identity of the baby’s siblings, RCMP said in a media release Thursday.

The child’s mother, who will not be identified, said she is devastated. She said her family had been seeking mental health assistance for herself and for another child in the family. She said it’s been a stressful time for her family.
“My son looks wonderful. He’s doing excellent, I can say that. But with any case like this you don’t know the long-term effects and there is no way to know,” she told Global News on Thursday morning.
