Dec. 23—A Kennesaw man was arrested and charged with two felonies, cruelty to children and aggravated battery, after police say his infant daughter was injured in his care, according to a warrant.
Hitesh Patel, 40, was charged last week by the Acworth Police Department for the incident, which occurred on the afternoon of Nov. 1. According to the warrant, Patel was left to take care of his three-month-old daughter while his wife left for 20-30 minutes. The baby was unhurt when the wife left.
When the wife returned, the baby was "cold to the touch, temperature was low, with her eyes and tongue rolled back," the warrant says.
