Father wanted on abuse charges after baby suffers 9 broken ribs, 2 broken legs

A Washington County, Pennsylvania, father is wanted on suspicion of abusing his 6-month-old baby.

The baby spent days in Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh after her mother went to change her diaper and saw the girl's stomach covered in bruises, authorities said.

Police are now searching for the baby's father, Randy Hughes. Investigators said he disappeared a few days after the reported abuse.

Police said Hughes was watching the baby and other older children at their home while the baby's mother was at work.

[...]

Hughes faces arrest on felony aggravated assault and child endangerment charges.

The baby had a follow-up appointment at Children's Hospital on Monday, and doctors said she is healing very well.

The mother passed a polygraph test, and police said they believe she had nothing to do with the abuse.

Make the punishment fit the crime, as Gilbert and Sullivan would say.
