Utah man facing charges while 1-year-old son remains on life support from alleged abuse; Child not expected to survive
An arrest report states that 44-year-old Aaron Michael Visser called 911 Friday evening to report that his son was unresponsive. He had begun CPR on the child, who was also not breathing, and first responders continued lifesaving efforts when they arrived. The child was taken to Mountain West Medical Center in Tooele, then airlifted to Primary Children's Hospital.
"We regret to announce that Medical doctors have informed our investigators that the child is on life support and is not likely to survive the injuries," the department wrote in a press release."We wish to convey our sincerest condolences to the family." Hospital staff then assessed the baby and found that he had multiple internal injuries as well. These included a brain bleed, a freshly fractured rib, another fractured rib that was"in the stages of healing," and a bruised lung.
During the interviews, police said one of the siblings"reported hearing a loud thud followed by the victim crying and then hearing their father's voice." Investigators were also told that"the victim is constantly getting injured while inside the master bedroom with the father and that the father has told them that the victim constantly falls off of the bed."
