An 11-year-old boy was arrested by Caddo Sheriff’s detectives for seriously injuring a one-year-old child, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

The incident occurred on September 3 when the victim’s mother found the toddler unconscious and not breathing at a Mooringsport residence. The victim was revived by the mother who performed CPR.

During the sheriff’s investigation, Juvenile Detective Ray Saunders discovered the victim had received a serious head injury and that the child had been suffocated by an 11-year-old male. The juvenile was arrested this past Tuesday, November 1, for Second-Degree Battery and booked into the Caddo Juvenile Detention Center.
