Dad arrested for "substantial" injuries to 1-year-old child (Elba, Alabama)

Daddy TRAVIS JUNIOR HORNSBY has been arrested on aggravated child abuse charges.  Notice that you have to get to the end of this account to find out that this "man" is the baby's daddy. No mention of Mama at all. Was she working while Daddy was "caretaking"? Was this a custody/visitation situation? As usual, we're left in the dark.

INVISLBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Elba police arrested a local man on charges of aggravated child abuse after Department of Human Resources personnel contacted them Thursday.

Travis Junior Hornsby, 37, of Plant Avenue in Elba is alleged to have inflicted injuries on a 1-year-old child, said Elba Police Chief Freddie Hanchey.

Hanchey said DHR reported to police that an injured child was at a local hospital and that the injuries occurred in Elba.

Hanchey described the child’s injuries as “substantial.”

Following an investigation, police arrested Hornsby and placed him in the Coffee County Jail. Circuit Judge Shannon Clark set a $30,000 bond and ordered Hornsby to not have any contact with the child.

Hanchey said Hornsby is the injured child’s father.
