A Georgia couple was arrested on cruelty to children and aggravated battery charges last week, nearly a year after their doctors found 29 fractures all over their infant daughter’s body.

According to WSB, the 6-week-old child’s mother, Savannah Cox, and grandmother brought the baby to Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center in February 2024 with a broken leg and bruises on her face.

A nurse called police, saying that Cox and the grandmother kept changing their story about the baby’s injuries. Cox initially asked if they could have happened from a fall, and then asked if they could have come from being dropped.

When police arrived, Cox told them she had gone to a pediatric appointment that morning and then slept the rest of the day, surmising that the girl may have gotten a broken leg at the doctor’s office.

Medical staff conducted a full body scan on the the littler girl and found fractures on both legs, her right arm, ribs, right shoulder, and more — 29 fractures in all, in a variety of different stages of healing.

According to the arrest warrant, Cox, her parents, and Shane Moore, the baby’s father, live together with the couple’s two children. Both children were taken into protective custody by the state Department of Family and Children’s Services.

Police did not say why it took nearly a year to bring charges against the parents or give an update on the little girl’s condition. Neither Cox nor Moore are on the inmate list for the Floyd County jail as of Sunday.
