It could be possible that the genital injuries were caused by either accidental injury, like being carried awkwardly in a baby carrier, a strap snagging and catching, or self-inflicted ( I have three sons; they cannot control their hands well at that age but if they find something while flailing around they grab onto it, including genitals. I have seen my sons do it, and if they have even a slightly jagged nail (which babies do as they are hard to manicure), they will scratch themselves); the previous diaper was put on hastily and dug in; there are many reasons it was an accidental injury. Maybe he was caught with a nail in a previous diaper change but was overlooked. You get my idea.
The head injury could be a devastating accident. Was the changing area in the hallway? Was there a changing table? Was it on the first floor or higher? Could he have rolled off the changing table while NV was distracted with her phone or panicked about being left alone with a baby? Could he have rolled down the stairs? In any of these cases, it would seem that the initial fall out of a bouncy chair was a cover, yet would we be told if she had later changed that statement?
I guess my point is that there are so many things that could have happened here. The details we know are patchy and lacking detail and context. Yet, there are dozens of explanations for what happened to be non-murderous, but it is a DP case, so there HAS to be something very crucial we don't know, surely?
Please snip if not allowed:
When my daughter was a baby, which was many moons ago, one of the biggest brands of diapers had just released sticky tabs on disposables. I had been using the other biggest brands but saw the new ones on sale.
I changed my daughter's diaper one day, and there was a nasty-looking cut just above one of her hips; it was bleeding and looked painful. I was shocked and called my husband over, we looked at the diaper and the sticky tab on one side was bloody, it had been digging into her for 2 hours since her last change. It was the corner of the crease, where the sticky tab was folded before being used, it had dug into her very sharply. I was mortified to think she had been in this pain because of her diaper. I wrote (way before email) and sent photos to the company, and they sent me lots of coupons.
These days, disposable diapers have a more fabric and stretchy material on sticky tabs or even velcro. But the tabs that hurt my daughter were fairly stiff plastic.
