UPDATE: Dad Says Machines are Keeping Toddler Alive, No Brain Activity

DAYTON -- Justin Hasty's had no sleep and is barely holding himself together. His 19 month old Takota is barely hanging on. Investigators say he was abused so badly - he's on life support.

The Mom, Crystal Laurel and her boyfriend Dustin Rybak are both accused of the abuse... her for permitting it and endangering her child. He's staring at felonious assault.

"He's not breathing on his own... he's on life support. And that's the only thing keeping him here. And it's been two days now, and no changes," said the distraught father speaking to reporters outside Dayton Children's.


Investigators say the Mom and boyfriend brought Takota to the emergency room early Sunday morning. His injuries were so apparent that it was abuse that hospital officials immediately called the Montgomery County Sheriff's office.

Tonight at 6 hear from the Dad on the warning signs and what Children Services has to say about the Mom's history.

Our Jackie Couture will have a live report at 6:00 on ABC 22 and at 6:30 on Fox 45.
