Dr. Sally Smith, Child Abuse Pediatrician

considering what these photos look like and the severity of his brain swelling by the time he got to the hospital and how quickly he died.

I mean, they're just, so that aside,

When you have especially a fatal level of abusive head trauma, the child has a change of consciousness that doesn't change significantly.

It can worsen, but he's not gonna be like sitting up eating pizza, playing games or something after he suffers that level of brain injury.

The brain is injured to the point that it's going to proceed to die.

There's no, you know, normal level of activity.

Now, you know, you can imagine in a six or eight week old, they don't do a whole lot.

So sometimes it can be a little bit difficult to tell exactly, you know, whether they were normal or not at a certain point in time.

But a 15 month old child, he walks, he talks, he, you know, runs around, plays, he gets into arguments with his sibling, whatever.

There's all kinds of things that that child does.

And, you know, from

The time that those photos started being sent to Danica, at which time John was the caretaker for the child, and he admits that he was the caretaker for the child, he was asleep.

That's not normal for a 15-month-old to be asleep all afternoon, vomiting.

Having weird movements, whether they're seizures or not, arching his back in a very abnormal manner.

He clearly had, in my experience and training, significantly abnormal neurological condition on all of those photos.

I don't work for the child protection team anymore, so I have limited to no access to my records to really look exactly what happened, who called me, that kind of thing.

But this child, Nolan Kelly, went to community hospital first on December 12, 2015.

And he was in very serious condition.

They put him on a ventilator immediately.

They gave him things to try to decrease his brain swelling.
