Brian Salt, a fire chief in Pennsylvania, has been charged with endangering the welfare of his 3-month-old daughter after he allegedly confessed to throwing her to the ground due to frustration with her crying. An investigation was prompted when medical staff at Philadelphia Children's Hospital reported the child's skull fracture. While initially denying knowledge of the injury, Salt's admission to police about the incident raised grave concerns, given his professional background in emergency services. He faces multiple charges and has been suspended from his position pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
The fire chief admitted to investigators that he had "forcefully" taken his daughter out of a swing and subsequently "threw her on the ground" due to frustration over her crying.
Detective Dennis O'Connell expressed shock regarding Salt's actions, stating that someone in his professional role "should clearly know how to deal with any kind of stressful situation, especially when it's involving your own child."
