Baby boy has skull fracture; parents charged

SIOUX CITY — Authorities say a 5-month-old boy is being treated for a fractured skull and his parents are facing charges in Sioux City. Court records say 25-year-old Kara Jackson and Aaron Tucker were arrested Wednesday and are charged with felony child endangerment. The records say Tucker will turn 24 on Saturday. Jackson’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday to comment on the case. Court records don’t list the name of Tucker’s attorney.

A criminal complaint says the tiny boy was taken to a Sioux City hospital on Feb. 26. The complaint says his parents accused each other of dropping the child on different occasions.

The state has taken custody of the baby.
