Manitoba RCMP: Woman charged after baby was injured

A 26-year-old Thompson woman has been charged after an infant was injured earlier this month.

According to RCMP, officers were called to a home on Ashberry Place in Thompson. When they arrived, a loud disturbance could be heard from a suite.

When officers entered, they heard that two women, ages 26 and 41, were arguing. The 26-year-old allegedly dropped a five-month-old baby on the floor several times.

The child was found hidden in an entertainment unit. Paramedics were called and the child was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They have now been released from hospital and placed in the care of a family member.

The 26-year-old woman was charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm and failure to provide the necessaries of life. The allegations have not been proven in court.

She was released and will appear in court on January 28, 2025.
