A Gwinnett County mother and father are in jail on allegations that they abused and killed their 2-year-old son.
Elizabeth Calvo, 21, and Adam Garber, 25, were arrested on Dec. 19 and charged with felony murder and child cruelty, police said.
Police and paramedics were called to an apartment in the 5800 block of Hunt Club Run where young Aiden Calvo was having seizures and coughing up blood on the morning of Dec. 16, according to police records.
Garber told emergency officials who responded that Aiden had a diaper rash and had been bruising easily, police said.
Police arrived with paramedics and found that the child had injuries all over his body, and found blood splatter on his bedroom wall, according to police records.
Aiden was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, where doctors found bruises on his back, forehead, jaw and genitals, a hand print on his bottom, bite marks on his finger and thumb, bleeding in his nose and stomach, a fractured skull, evidence of possible scalding around his diaper area and traumatic brain injury.
Doctors believed that the child had been abused, police said.
Police interviewed Calvo and Garber, who blamed one another for the child’s injuries, according to police records.
Aiden died on Sunday, authorities said.
They were arrested and taken to the Gwinnett County Detention Center, where they have remained without bond, police said.
Garber and Calvo will appear before a Gwinnett County Magistrate Court on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., according to court records.
