On February 19, Berks County’s District Attorney got a warrant for the arrest of Hector Charles Garcia, 23 of Chester for the attempted murder of his daughter.
On March 17, 2010, the Reading Fire Department was called to 1040 Spring Street in Reading.
When emergency crews arrived, they provided care to a child that had severe injuries who was just over two-years-old. They took the child to the Reading Hospital and the child was later transferred to Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
Detectives learned that on the day of the incident, the child was home alone with her biological father, Hector Charles Garcia.
On December 21, two doctors from Hershey told detectives that the young child, who is completely care-dependent, blind and will never walk, had a massive brain injury.
The child also had a skull fracture and almost died in the operating room. There was also ligament twisting in the neck, an indication that the child was thrown against something.
One doctor also indicated that the child suffered a pancreas transaction, which means it was almost cut in half and the child also had eight rib fractures.
Detectives learned that Garcia was babysitting the child.
Garcia has been charged with attempt to commit murder of the first degree, aggravated assault, simple assault and endangering the welfare of children.
On February 19, Garcia was arraigned and bail was set at $200,000. He was committed to Berks County Prison.
