Atlanta police have arrested Antoinette White, 20, and boyfriend Kevin Straight, 32, after they waited about three weeks to take their 2-month-old baby girl to the doctor to treat her broken bones, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Here's the kicker: Antoinette admitted to breaking the child's bones.
"This baby suffered through an extra 2-3 weeks of pain having 20 broken bones, including a skull fracture and a severely broken and displaced femur," the warrant states.
According to police, Antoinette "admitted to squeezing her 2-month-old baby in an aggressive manner" and she admitted she could "feel the baby's bones, then immediately feel the swelling start."
When she finally decided to take the child to the hospital, a hospital employee called police.
Antoinette is charged with aggravated battery, felony cruelty to children and second-degree cruelty to children. Kevin is charged with second-degree cruelty to children.
The baby and the other 1-year-old child living in the home are now in foster care.
