TROUTMAN, N.C. — The Troutman Police Department says a 20-year-old man is facing a child abuse charge after a 3-month-old was taken to the hospital last month.
Police said a 3-month-old child was taken to a medical center on Nov. 22 with a brain hemorrhage “and other injuries” that were consistent with child abuse.
