2-year-old Renton girl beaten into a coma
King County prosecutors are preparing to file child abuse charges against a man accused of beating his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter into a coma.
King County prosecutors are preparing to file child abuse charges against a man accused of beating his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter into a coma.
The 30-year-old man, Idris Turner, was arrested Sunday at Sea-Tac Airport where police say he was trying to catch a plane.
He and the mother, Trina Washington-Eastland, took the toddler to Valley Medical Center in Renton on Saturday. The girl is now in a coma at a Seattle hospital.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Seattle Times report that Turner has a history of domestic violence and the mother has had repeated contact with Child Protective Services to guard the toddler.
One witness told Renton police that Turner said he was going to "beat her father out of her."
