CHICAGO – A 7-month-old girl is in critical condition after officers discovered her unresponsive Thursday during a well-being check in Pullman.
At approximately 1 p.m., Chicago police officers responded to a call of children left alone in the 900 block of East 104th Street. When officers arrived, a 5-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl were left in an apartment.
Police said their guardian fled with a 7-month-old girl and at that time, officers were unable to locate her. The children left in the apartment were transported in good condition.
At around 6:30 p.m., officers returned for a well-being check when they discovered the 7-month-old baby unresponsive, suffering from blunt force trauma to the head.
The baby has been transported to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition.
Police officers placed a female guardian into custody, but she was initially transported to St. Bernard Hospital for a mental evaluation.
There’s no information on possible charges at this time.
