The tragic case of a four-month-old who suffered more than 70 separate bone fractures and lay dead in her cot for a whole week has been told at a South Australian inquest. Baby Ebony, who died after sustaining significant head trauma, was left in a cot at her parents’ Adelaide unit for a week before they alerted authorities to their infant’s tragic death. A South Australian coroner will examine if social services agencies should have intervened before the four-month-old’s death in November 2011. The inquest has heard that Ebony suffered ‘horrific’ abuse at the hands of her then 19-year-old father, sustaining multiple skull fractures, more than 50 broken ribs, fractures to her collarbone, fingers and toes. Her father was jailed for only nine-years after pleading guilty to criminal neglect.
