A Hall County father has been arrested after his infant daughter was discovered with broken bones during a recent medical examination.
The infant’s mother sought treatment for the three-month-old child at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta on September 20. Doctors at CHOA contacted Hall County Sheriff’s Office investigators when they found the infant with a fractured femur, as well as evidence of other bone fractures. Doctors told investigators the injuries were consistent with abuse.
As a result, William Dorsey Raiford, 27, of Oakwood was charged with aggravated battery and cruelty to children in the first degree, both felony offenses under the Family Violence Act. Raiford was booked into the Hall County Jail Tuesday, September 27. He remains in jail with no bond.
The infant has been placed in the custody of a relative under the supervision of the Department of Family and Children Services.
