UNION COUNTY, N.C. —

A Union County 3-year-old is no longer in the intensive care unit because she can now breathe on her own.

Deputies said Kilah Davenport’s stepfather beat her last month.

Doctors had to remove part of her skull to help relieve brain swelling.

Kilah’s grandmother hopes she will be able to go to rehab soon, so she can learn how to walk, talk and eat.

The family is pushing lawmakers to require child abusers to register just like sex offenders do.
