Beverly Duck
(State College, Pennsylvania) A 25-year-old local woman, Beverly Duck, has been accused of felony charges after injuring her newborn child and failing to seek medical attention.

According to court documents, Beverly Duck, 25, had recently given birth at Mount Nittany Medical Center on August 15 when Children and Youth Services (CYS) staff received a call that Duck had dropped her newborn on the floor, causing a skull fracture.

CYS was reportedly aware of several text messages Duck had sent during her pregnancy about not wanting her baby, leading CYS to plan to remove the child from Duck's care.

Duck was booked into custody at the Centre County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5,000.
