SAUCIER, MS (WLOX) -Authorities are searching for a Harrison County mother wanted for Felony Child Abuse. The man who was watching her little boy when he was injured last month has already turned himself in to deputies. The child is in stable condition at USA Medical Center in Mobile.
Sheriff Melvin Brisolara said the incident happened April 17 at a home on Palmer Creek Drive in Saucier. Joseph Mitchell Atkins, 23, called authorities to report the two-year-old he was babysitting had fallen off a trampoline and struck his head.
The little boy was airlifted to Mobile for treatment where medical personnel found evidence of both old and new injuries. They also told investigators the child’s injuries were not consistent with a fall from a trampoline. Instead, they pointed to physical abuse.
