Toddler believed tortured

TACOMA, Wash. (UPI) -- A toddler authorities say was tortured and abused was hospitalized in serious condition Monday in Tacoma, Wash.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department said the 22-month-old boy was brought to a local hospital Sunday by a woman in her mid-20s, KIRO-TV in Seattle reported. The woman told authorities the child was dropped off at her home with a diaper bag by an unknown male she described as a gang member, the TV station said.

Doctors determined the boy showed signs of abuse and torture, KIRO-TV said.

Pierce County Sheriff's Office spokesman Ed Troyer said the boy, whose name may be Javon or something similar, was in protective custody at the undisclosed hospital.
