The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating a case of possible child abuse in McPherson. Officials say the KBI was called in because the child's father is a McPherson County detention officer.
McPherson police say they were called to a home in McPherson on Thursday afternoon to a report of an unresponsive child. The 5-month-old was suffering from head injuries and a broken collar bone and was flown to a Wichita hospital.
On Friday, police say they received information that leads them to believe the child is the victim of abuse. The child has been placed in protective custody.
Because the father works for as a detention officer, McPherson Chief of Police Robert McClarty formally requested assistance from the KBI. The Wichita Police Department also assisted in the investigation.
The child's father's name has not been released. He has not been charged at this time.
