Mesa Police Department - Media Release
Father arrested for abusing 6-month-old son
On
November 11, 2007 Oslando Ochoa-Quintero was
arrested on suspicion of child abuse. The
investigation began on October 18, 2007 when
uniformed patrol officers responded to a local
hospital to investigate numerous suspicious injuries
found by hospital staff on a 6-month-old baby. The
investigation revealed that the baby had multiple
fractured ribs in various stages of healing, a
fractured skull and a broken clavicle that appeared
to have already healed.
The parents originally took the baby to the hospital
because his lower extremities were not functioning.
Doctors quickly discovered the injuries to the baby
and immediately contacted the police. Investigators
were disturbed to find out that Ochoa-Quintero had
shaken the baby on numerous occasions since June of
2007. Ochoa-Quintero admitted to having an anger
problem and to shaking the baby several times in the
past. The mother reported that she did not notify
the authorities about Ochoa-Quintero’s criminal
behavior because it had caused fights between them.
Ochoa-Quintero was booked on five counts of Child
Abuse, a class four felony in Arizona.
Ochoa-Quintero’s bond amount is unknown. Child
Protective Services has been actively involved in
the investigation, providing care for the baby while
his injuries heal. |
