WILKINSBURG (KDKA)-A woman is facing charges after a tip led officers to find a child with head and facial injuries.

Police say they were first called to the home in the 1300-block of Traymore Avenue in Wilkinsburg just after 1 a.m. on Saturday.

The criminal complaint reports the child’s mother, identified as 22-year-old Dalishia Salter, is being charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

The child’s father, David Bryant Jr., called police saying Salter had hurt the baby.

“He asked how the baby got the injuries and she seemed not to know at that time. She did not give him any information,” Wilkinsburg Police Chief Ophella Coleman said.

According to the criminal complaint, Salter told police that Bryant pushed a flatscreen television off of a bedroom dresser and it hit the 11-month-old child.

The little boy was then taken to Children’s Hospital to be treated for bruising and bleeding wounds.

The criminal complaint said doctors found “the child had a tear inside his mouth from an object being shoved with great force,” as well as some possible internal injuries.

Hospital officials said they found that “the child had suffered from multiple injuries over a period of time, because you could see various forms of healing on the child’s face and head.”

The injuries, “were not consistent with just falling or bumping into things.”

Bryant is also expected to be charged in the case.
