"Infant John" JOHNSON - 15 Months/ Accused: Corey Johnson - Charlotte NC

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say 33-year-old Corey
Johnson didn't spend a lot of time with his son, but their last visit
almost cost the 15-month-old his life.

Police say that Johnson came to Monroe Sunday to pick up his son for an
overnight visit. He took him to his Charlotte apartment and that's
where investigators think abuse occurred.

Officers say the father told them and the mother that the child fell out
of the bed, but his injuries were so serious that CMC Union had him
airlifted to CMC main.

“This has broken our heart," said Suzy Rogers, a close friend of the victim's mother.

The child remains in critical but stable condition after suffering from bleeding on his brain and abdomen.

The parents aren't married and court records show that the father had
only kept his son for three nights since birth. The mother says the
child may have been teething when he was with his dad.
