A Tennessee toddler is dead after the boyfriend of his mother threw him against a wall while babysitting earlier this month.
Ventura Mora-Francisco died on Dec. 5 three days after he was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Children’s Hospital with “inoperable and insurvivable” head injuries.
The boy’s mother Sara Mora and her boyfriend Ashton Cole Sensing revealed that Sensing was babysitting the victim and three other children at the time of the incident.
After initially claiming the toddler fell while he was sleeping on a couch, Sensing eventually admitted to throwing the child against the wall after he made him upset multiple times throughout the day.
Sensing had been on the loose since Dec. 6 before his arrest on first-degree murder Thursday.
“This is a very sad and unfortunate outcome that resulted in the brutal death of an innocent child,” Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris said.
“There is no more important resource than the future of our children.”
