Bad things have happened to Crystal Eccleston's child.
This time of the year is all about family. But that's not always a good thing.

Denver Police Department reps were called after an infant was checked into an area hospital with terrible injuries. Next step? DPD arrested the child's parents, Travis Anderson, 26, and Crystal Eccleston, 27, for investigation of felony child abuse.

Look below for a phot of Anderson and more details. In the meantime, let's hope that, for the baby's sake, the update of this story doesn't land in the Mile High Murder category.
