NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah (TCN) -- A couple has been charged with child torture in connection with fractures found on their infant at a doctor’s appointment.
On March 24, 27-year-old Darian Winis and 32-year-old Thomas Alexander Uline took their baby to a pediatrician, who sent her to be examined the next day at the Children’s Justice Center because she had a broken arm, KTVX reports. The baby, whose name has not been released, also had fractures on her legs and ribs in various stages of healing. Winis and Uline allegedly said they did not know how she had gotten the injuries.
Police obtained text messages from the couple dating back to January. In one message, Winis allegedly claimed she slapped the baby, and in another, she allegedly threatened to shoot the child and then herself.
Winis allegedly texted Uline on Feb. 9, “Don’t blame me when you come home and see how red her face is cause I’m f---ing tired of her … fighting sleep and not getting any sleep and not getting any rest has officially made me snap. I slapped and beat the crap out of her right now.” Uline allegedly responded, “We are doing brain damage to the baby by the way.”
The couple was arrested, charged with child torture, and booked into jail April 22, and they are being held without bond, KTVX reports.
