STATESVILLE, N.C. -- A toddler believed to be the victim of child abuse has been upgraded to fair condition.
Police say 2-year-old Sylvia Martinez was rushed to the hospital on April 2 when she lost consciousness at the home her mother shares with Armando Flores Morales. They say an examination showed strong indications of physical abuse.
Morales is charged with felony child abuse and the girl's mother, Heather Altman, is charged with accessory after the fact.
The Department of Social Services has custody of the girl.
Note from Chris Cejas Memorial: Fortunately, this child was saved from being killed but this is yet another grim reminder of why we need to work to end this now!
