A grandmother in Florida called police when she discovered that her infant grandchild had bites all over her tiny body. Police and medics arrived after the 911 call was placed and took the infant to the hospital where it was determined the bites on her cheek, back and legs were caused by a human.

The mother of the infant girl, Shreka Key, 25, was called by police while the infant was in the ER to determine how and why the bites happened. She told them that the father of the baby, Moses Jackson, 22, watches the baby during the day while she attends school and that she wasn’t aware of the bites, however, Jackson told police that Key was aware because he had just texted her pictures of the infant’s injuries after his mom had called police. Key reportedly told the baby’s father to ‘treat the marks with a wet cloth’.

Both mother and father were apprehended. Jackson eventually confessed to the police that he had bit his infant daughter several times but didn’t think he bit her hard.
