Man sentenced over neglect of injured child
A MAN who failed to get medical help for a child suffering from a serious head injury for more than a week was today sentenced to 160 hours of unpaid work and placed on probation for two years.
Robin Hay, 33, admitted a charge of willful neglect when he previously appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
The court heard he failed to seek appropriate medical attention for the child, who was just ten weeks old, despite the baby showing head and wrist injuries, between 21 July and 29 July last year.
Hay told police he had fallen on stairs while holding the baby, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
