"Baby John" HICE-TAYLOR - 5 Months - Logan County (W of Springdale) AR

Two Logan county parents were arrested after their 5 month old son
was taken to the hospital with broken bones and multiple skull
fractures.
Matthew Hice, 17, and Jessica Taylor, 18, were arrested after
authorities learned of the child's injuries from health care workers.
Health officials went to the residence of the child last week after
learning that the baby was not gaining weight. That's when they
discovered the infant's extensive injuries.
Investigators allege that Hice broke his son's shoulder blade,
several ribs, and fractured his skull in three places. Taylor watched
and did nothing while the abuse took place.
Doctors at Arkansas Children's Hospital are fighting to save the infant's life.
Matthew Hice and Jessica Taylor were arrested and booked into the
Logan County Detention Center on child abuse charges. Hice received a
$100,000 dollar bond while Taylor received a $10,000 dollar bond.
