Toddler critically hurt in Tulsa, man in custody

It's a truly disturbing story out of Tulsa involving a 24-year-old man and a 21-month-old child.

Zachary Collins is accused of getting angry at the toddler for keeping him from sleeping.  He was said to be watching three of his girlfriend's children at the time.

Police say Collins slammed the child's head into the wall so hard, the force left damage in the wall.  The toddler suffered critical injuries and was transported to a Tulsa hospital.

“The child's injuries are likely not survivable,” police said.

At first, Collins reportedly tried to blame another child for the toddler’s injuries.  However, he later confessed to slamming the toddler's head.

Collins has been booked into the Tulsa County Jail on counts of child abuse and child neglect.  Those charges could change if the toddler dies.
