HONOLULU (AP) - The Latest on a couple whose child was injured in day care asking the state attorney general to investigate (all times local):
3:40 p.m.
A couple whose child was seriously injured while attending a home day care is asking state Attorney General Doug Chin to investigate the case.
Chelsea Valiente told reporters Friday there’s no question her son Peyton was abused at day care and the family wants justice.
Peyton Valiente was 17 months old when he suffered a brain injury from forceful shaking. The Valientes believe the baby sitter’s police connection is the reason there have been no arrests two years after Peyton’s injury.
The Honolulu Police Department said Friday they turned the case over to the state attorney general.
Acting Chief Cary Okimoto apologized to the Valientes in March, saying he was disappointed the case didn’t move as quickly as it should have.
A spokesman for the attorney general confirmed his office has the case.
