According to a press release, Harrison County Sheriff’s Office dispatch received a 911 call about a 5-year-old boy having trouble breathing and having a seizure at about 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday. HCSO deputies and EMS personnel responded to the home on American Plant Road.

The mother, who was later identified as Danielle Faulkner, and her boyfriend both said that the boy fell off the porch earlier in the night while he was taking the trash out, the press release stated.

“While treating him they noticed he was extremely bruised all over his body,” the press release stated. “EMS notified Deputies that they didn’t feel the amount of bruising was consistent with falling off the porch. EMS transported the child to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport where he is in critical condition.”

Investigators with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office were notified of the situation and responded to the scene. Later, the HCSO investigators and the District Attorney’s Office served a search warrant on the home on American Plant Road. Child Protective Services officials are also working with the HCSO investigators.

After the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office investigators interviewed Faulker and Larry Prudhomme, her boyfriend, they arrested the couple on first-degree felony injury to a child causing serious bodily injury charges, the press release stated.

Both of them have been booked into the Harrison County jail and are now awaiting arraignment.

“This investigation is ongoing and further information may be released as it’s available,” the press release stated.

JFC (can I use that acronym) quit beating your children. I don’t understand why this is so difficult? My mom was strict and I ended up with a bloody nose once or twice (I’m an easy bleeder) but for GS, enough with the beatings.

Oh no. This poor little guy has since died from his injuries.

Momster and her so important man are charged.

Well, that's just great... dammit.
One more innocent is gone before he barely got started.
We don't yet know how much trauma he may have already suffered, but I hate to think about a little 5 y/o being better off dead than alive.
And don't get me started about boyfriends -- we all have seen this BF business too darn many times.
And as long as the world spins, this will continue to happen.
