A Radcliff man has been charged with Murder following the death of a child that was in his care.
Terrance D. Corbin was scheduled to appear in a video arraignment hearing Friday morning following his arrest.
According to the Elizabethtown Police Department, Corbin was providing childcare for two children at a residence in Elizabethtown Tuesday afternoon. At approximately 4 p.m., Corbin contacted the children’s mother and told her the 18-month-old was breathing abnormally. Corbin called 911 a few minutes later to report that the child was no longer breathing.
The EPD says officers who responded to the scene recognized the child was in dire condition and in need of immediate medical treatment, and transported the child to the Baptist Health Hardin emergency room. The child was then airlifted to Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville.
The EPD says medical evaluation of the child revealed “substantial swelling and bleeding in the soft tissue around her scalp and face, subdural hemorrhaging at multiple sites, and multiple skull fractures,” and a pediatrician who specializes in child abuse “noted the child’s skull fractures were the worst they had encountered during their time practicing medicine.” The child died from her injuries Thursday afternoon.
Corbin was arrested and charged with Murder. He remains incarcerated in the Hardin County Detention Center.
