The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating a suspected child abuse case in Belleville.
The Belleville Police Department contacted the KBI yesterday morning to investigate after an unresponsive three-month-old infant was transported from the Republic County hospital to an Omaha hospital. The child’s parents brought her to the Republic County hospital on Christmas Day, and hospital staff later contacted the Belleville Police Department.
A pediatrician at the Omaha hospital indicated the child has no brain activity due to severe injuries she had sustained. At this time, the infant remains on life support.
Belleville is located about an hour and a half northwest of Manhattan.
The investigation is ongoing.
