WHITEHALL, Ohio A 19-year-old was charged over the weekend with felonious assault in connection with the death of his girlfriend's toddler.
London Hodge was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital on Saturday evening, 10TV's Tino Ramos reported.
According to police, the 21-month-old girl had suffered injuries consistent with abusive head trauma and shaken baby syndrome, police said.
"They said she had brain stem damage," said Natasha Steele, the girl's mother. "Part of her brain had shifted. She had shaken baby syndrome (and) there was blood in her head."

Steele, 21, said Johnson called her about 3 a.m. yesterday while she was at the hospital to apologize. "I said, 'My daughter is dying right now, and you're sorry?'"
He tried to explain what happened: He was taking London upstairs for a bath and dropped her on her head. Then, during the bath, she vomited.
Johnson said he dressed the toddler, laid her on the couch to sleep and noticed a few hours later that she wasn't breathing.
Steele said that didn't match what doctors and police detectives were saying. "They said the injuries were fresh, and there were too many bruises for it to be an accident."
Steele said she's known Johnson for about a year. They've been a couple for six months and have lived together for four of them, moving to Whitehall from Zanesville about a month ago.
