Original News Release
On November 10, 2017 at 2:41pm we received a call to Freeman Hospital, 1102 West 32nd, for a 3-year-old boy brought in with serious injuries. Shortly thereafter, the child was transported to Children's Mercy in Kansas City.
Our officers and detectives responded to Freeman and began their investigation. They determined the child resides at 1502 South Michigan, Building 5 Apartment 11, and believe the incident occurred at that address.
Detectives went to Kansas City this morning to continue their investigation. As a result, the Jasper County Prosecutor’s Office issued a warrant for the arrest of Lenard Valdez, 21, Joplin, for Child Abuse with a $15,000 bond plus $5,000 cash. He was taken into custody at a hotel in Kansas City by Kansas City Police Department. .
