The boy arrived in "stable condition," according to an arrest warrant sworn by NOPD Detective Matthew White. But the report said medical staff documented several serious injuries to the child, including head trauma and swelling, abdominal trauma and swelling, a bite mark to his back, a burn to his left wrist, a cut lip and several bruises "throughout the body."

In addition, the report said, the boy was missing several teeth and fingernails. The report did not offer an explanation for their absence.

Police interviewed Simpson and DeGregory separately, the report said. Simpson, who is the child's mother, told investigators the boy had fallen in the kitchen of their home in the 2100 block of Second Street when he suffered a seizure on Mother's Day (May 10), but that medical attention was not sought. Simpson also told police the burn on the boy's left wrist happened when the boy turned on hot water and burned himself washing up before bed, the report said.

Simpson's arrest register lists her employer as Scores, the strip club at 416 Bourbon St. DeGregory's document says he works for the Bourbon Famous Entertainment Group. If charged and convicted of second-degree cruelty to a juvenile, each could face up to 40 years in prison.
