Boy's skull fractured

LA JOYA - Child Protective Services has joined the investigation into a toddler's death.

NEWSCHANNEL 5 learned this is the agency's sixth case involving the family in question.

Police say 2-year-old Eliseo Gonzalez Jr. somehow fractured his skull. It happened at a La Joya home. The family inside called 911 and the toddler was rushed to the hospital.

He died there late yesterday afternoon.

La Joya police got involved and turned the case over to the sheriff's department. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino says the investigation is a complicated one.

They're still trying to figure out how the toddler ended up with a head injury. They're also investigating whether there are any child endangerment concerns. There's now word yet of any charges against anyone.

NEWSCHANNEL 5 learned CPS workers filed a report involving the family only a few months ago. The agency has investigated the family for physical abuse and for neglectful supervision.

We're told there were three other children at that home when the toddler was fatally injured. They're now staying with relatives.
