Man accused of raping baby 9 months ran to a neighbor for help after seeing the infant bleeding, then tried to hide in the bathroom, sheriff's investigators said.
Children's grandparents went to court Friday asked for the baby to be included in their care.
The suspect, Edwin Wren, 19, ran to a neighbor Thursday afternoon and told him there is an emergency at home where he lived near New Smyrna Beach, according to the 9-1-1 calls. Neighbors ran to the House and finds blood on the carpet, she told the operator.
"I went there to check on baby … and like babies get raped," said neighbors sobbed and despair. "He's crying really bad when I got there."
The child was found Thursday afternoon downpours bleeding from physical trauma to his body, said Gary Davidson, Volusia County Sheriff's spokesman.
