Van Zandt County — A 2-month-old Van Zandt County baby was hospitalized recently after he was allegedly abused by family members.
According to Child Protective Services Spokeswoman Shari Pulliam, the child suffered at least 23 fractured ribs, 3 cranial fractures, two fractures in the arms and a fractured left femur.
On January 30, the baby was flown to Children's Medical Center of Dallas. He was released on February 3 to a foster family and is expected to recover.
No other children were in the home.
