The girl was transported to Fort Hamilton Hospital and then flown to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. After further investigation, detectives and hospital staff noted additional bruising on the child’s body. Partin admitted to striking the child and stated she had fallen and struck her head on the concrete garage floor the previous day.
In the 911 call placed to county dispatchers, Partin identifies herself and says Hannah “all of a sudden she just passed out.”
Partin says she babysits kids and that Hannah had fallen the day before. She tells the dispatcher she is rushing to get dressed, and her young child can be heard crying in the background.
“She fell real bad yesterday … I thought she was fine,” Partin says. She tells the dispatcher in the 13-minute call that Hannah’s father also is with the girl.
Jason Wesche is heard saying, “Hannah breathe. Breathe for Daddy.”
After the girl was dropped off, Partin said she went in the house and “passed out.”
In the 911 call, Partin also urges the little girl to breathe.
“Keep breathing my little love bucket,” Partin says.
Family members say the girl is “brain dead” and is not expected to recover.
