A man is facing charges after a baby was found with serious injuries.

On April 20, Cobb County authorities responded to a call about the injured infant girl.

According to a warrant, the baby was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where it was determined she was suffering from respiratory failure, complex skull fractures, retinal hemorrhages, and intracranial hemorrhages.

Medical professionals with the CHOA child protection team advised investigators the skull fractures were consistent with forceful blunt-force trauma to the head and the baby could not have caused the other injuries herself.

Police then interviewed the last person to watch the baby before she was injured.

Juan Francisco Lobo Hernandez claimed he believed spirits were trying to make his family suffer, according to a criminal warrant.

He also said he believed the girl was possessed and he may have been possessed as well, the warrant stated.

Hernandez is charged with aggravated battery and first degree cruelty to children.

He is currently out of jail on bond.
