A Dallas man is accused of seriously wounding his infant daughter’s genitals during a diaper change.

Spencer Matthew Henderson, 23, has been charged with injury to a child. He was arrested Tuesday and remains in the Dallas County Jail in lieu of $125,000.

Dallas police officers responded to a possible child abuse report Dec. 8 at Children’s Medical Center Dallas. A 6-month-old girl had been taken to the hospital with wounds to her genitals, according to police records.

During police interviews, Henderson said that he was rough with the baby while he was changing her diaper because he was having a bad day and had a lot on his mind, the warrant says.

“I know I was being rough with her,” records show Henderson told detectives.

He said that while he was trying to change the baby’s diaper, she was keeping her legs straight. He said that he aggressively pulled her legs apart and used a baby wipe to clean her “hard” and “fast.” He told police that he thinks he might have “ripped” her, the warrant says.

Henderson’s girlfriend, who is also the baby’s mother, told police that she thought Henderson accidentally cut the infant with his long fingernail.

The couple put the diaper on the infant, but she was still bleeding several hours later. That’s when they took her to a hospital, police records show.
