Please send a prayer for this precious baby boy.... When Wilkinsburg police arrived at the scene of a reported domestic disturbance around 1 a.m. today, they found a badly bruised baby and a story that didn’t seem to explain the injuries. By morning, police charged the baby’s mother, Dalishia Danika Salter, 22, with endangering the welfare of a child, and jailed her pending arraignment. Pittsburgh Municipal Court scheduled a Sept. 25 preliminary hearing. The arrest followed a year and a half of troubles between Ms. Salter and the father of her 11-month-old son. In the criminal complaint, Wilkinsburg Officer Michael Bender wrote that he arrived at Ms. Salter’s home to find “a small child lying on the bed with large bruising and bleeding wounds to his head and face.” Ms. Salter told police that an absent ex-boyfriend had pushed a flat screen TV off of a dresser, striking her son as he lay on the bed, according to the complaint. The child was taken to UPMC Childrens Hospital, where staff found a tear inside his mouth from an object being shoved with great force into his mouth, according to the complaint. Hospital staff “also confirmed what we had originally thought, that the child had suffered from multiple injuries over a period of time, because you could see various forms of healing on the childs face and head, the officer wrote. post-gazette/local/east/2014/09/13/Wilkinsburg-woman-facing-charge-of-endangering-son/stories/201409130297
