A recent arrest by Bristol police raised questions about how ongoing abuse of a child can go unnoticed or noticed but unreported. Last month, Ashley and Rocky Hernandez-DeJesus were charged with manslaughter in the death of their 4-year-old daughter, who medical professionals say sustained long-term child abuse.
The parents of a 4-year-old Bristol girl who died after suffering from what investigators called longterm child abuse appeared in court on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to the charges in connection with her death.
Rocky Hernandez-DeJesus and Ashley Hernandez-DeJesus were arrested by the Bristol Police Department this week in connection with the June death of their 4-year-old daughter. According to court records and arrest warrants obtained by the Courant, the girl had injuries that covered her entire body.
