Officers were dispatched April 3 to a residence on Redbud Drive in Springboro on a report of a 20-month-old child who suffered life-threatening injuries while at her babysitter’s. The toddler was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Liberty Twp. campus by Clearcreek Fire and Rescue and then transferred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati for treatment.
