In re Ar.L. CA5
On September 12, 2014, Stanislaus County Child and Family Services Agency (Agency) received a referral alleging that Alisha and Armando had brought four-month old Michael G. to the emergency room with a fractured femur. The parents did not provide “a consistent story, or a story that would explain the injury.” Alisha said she believed Michael’s one-year old sister injured him by “leaning on him.”
The attending physician said that an infant’s bones are “pliable and it takes a significant amount of force to fracture a femur.” A one-year old leaning on Michael would not break his femur. The physician said the injury was indicative of abuse.
