## A baby dies in Brooklyn
Two-month-old Aida Alvarado died after her parents brought her to a Baltimore hospital. Both are now in jail, charged in her death.
## Doctors spot the bruises
Her mother, 21-year-old Katerin Monzon-Alvarado, said the baby went unresponsive face down in bed. Staff at Harbor Hospital found bruising around her eyes and jawline.
## Skull fractures, not a fall
A later exam found significant head and brain trauma with multiple skull fractures. Prosecutors say no fall from a bed could have done that.
## Satan slammed the door
Father Oscar Pineda, also 21, told police a supernatural force or Satan slammed a door on his daughter. The mother pointed at their 2-year-old son jumping on the bed.

## A day of vomiting, no doctor
Both parents admitted they saw the bruises, and that the baby started vomiting the next day. Neither sought medical treatment.
## Charges may become homicide
They face child abuse, assault and reckless endangerment. Prosecutors may upgrade to homicide once the medical examiner rules, and neighbors say they saw no warning signs.

> I don't understand how people can truly hurt their kids.
## Key takeaway

Both parents saw the bruises and the vomiting, and neither took the baby to a doctor until she stopped breathing.
