Pair charged with causing 11-month-old to suffer broken skull, affidavit says

Antonio Osorio, Maria Martinez charged with injury to a child

SAN ANTONIO – Antonio Osorio and Maria Martinez have both been arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in the child abuse of an 11-month-old baby. 

According to an arrest affidavit the child suffered a broken arm and a skull fracture that went from one side of his head to the other.

Doctors told investigators the injuries were caused by some sort of violent impact.

The affidavit says Martinez noticed the injuries and admitted that the baby had fallen twice in a two-week period.

Martinez says Osorio told her to take the child to the hospital but explained that the hospital would blame her for the injuries.

Osorio is reportedly in trouble for discouraging the baby's mother from reporting the child's injuries and for failing to do so himself.

Both Osorio and Martinez are being charged with injury to a child serious bodily injuries by omission.
