Mother Admits to Breaking Toddler's Leg

A woman who admitted to breaking her 15-month-old daughter’s leg is in McKean County Jail on assault and other charges.

Papers filed in District Judge Dominic Cercone’s office say 27-year-old Leslie Skaggs of Bradford took the baby to BRMC for treatment of an abscess and, while she was been examined they determined she had a broken leg. The child was then sent to Women & Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, where they determined she had several old, healing fractures.

Tests were performed to determine if the child suffered from an abnormality of the bones that would cause the fractures, but the tests found nothing abnormal.

Court papers say that during the course of the investigation, Skaggs admitted she was responsible for the injury. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for next week.

The mother must be very sick in the head for doing that to her child. Poor child for taking the abused so badly. No one deserve this. Glad to see that the child is in care and the mother is in jail.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
