Old Saybrook police say the mother of a year-old baby faces  a variety of charges and they are seeking her boyfriend in connection with serious injuries reported to the child by Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital last September.  The baby boy suffered life-threatening injuries and is now in specialized care.

Police charged 26-year-old Crystal Dorothy of Old saybrook with risk of injury to a minor,  providing a false statement,  interfering with an officer and conspiracy charges in the case.

They are seeking 31-year-old Keith Loftus of Deep River in connection with the case.  Police say the infant was in his care while his girlfriend worked,  and the injuries happened over a period of several days.  Police say the story the two told authorities was not consistent with the nature of the baby’s injuries.
