Child abuse: Statistics tell widespread tale but crime preventable, Big Country experts say

Nearly a year ago, 2-year-old Hayden Vickers died in a Fort Worth hospital, succumbing to what police called "abusive head trauma."

The man charged with his murder originally told police that the boy fell off the bed. But as the investigation continued, evidence of abuse surfaced.

The boy's father and great-grandmother reported Hayden had been punched in the head so hard his retina detached and the imprint of a fist could be seen on his skull.

Franklin Edward Ramey Jr. — whose trial late last year ended in a hung jury — reportedly admitted to police that he had shaken and slapped Hayden in the head and face before throwing him onto a bed. According to court documents, the boy's mother, Amber Vickers, was living with Ramey, her boyfriend, at the time of the Feb. 18, 2011, incident.

Hayden was one of the five abuse- or neglect-related fatalities in the Big Country last year, according to Child Protective Services data.

He was one of the 745 children who were abused or neglected in Taylor County in 2011.
