A physician said the 2-month-old son of Herman J. Bland III and Ifrica A. Almalik suffered bone fractures and brain damage that could cause permanent neurological disability, according to court records.
NOBLESVILLE — The parents of a 2-month-old boy are accused of physical abuse that caused the child broken bones and brain damage a doctor said could cause permanent neurological disability, according to court records.
Noblesville police began investigating Oct. 23, 2021 after being contacted by the Indiana Department of Child Services. Bland and Almalik's child was taken by an ambulance about 10 p.m. the night prior to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital because he was suffering seizure-like symptoms, according to the affidavit.
Bland and Almalik also told staff the baby was treated for a red spot on his eye at five weeks old and his head appeared to have swelled two weeks before he was taken to the hospital. They said he was acting normal despite his head's size and said he had not suffered any physical trauma. During their interviews, the parents said they wondered about the baby's head size, breathing, excessive crying and redness in his eye but said a doctor told them it was normal. Bland said he noticed the baby's eyes were going down as his head grew.
Police later executed a search warrant for data and content on Almalik's phone and found search results in her browser history including"can a kick to the head cause a hematoma in a newborn","how much force does it take to cause shaken baby syndrome" and"how do you know if a parent is guilty of baby shaken syndrome".
