Allen Joseph Brunette is charged with two counts of child abuse and a third count of domestic violence, third offense.
According to officials, the four-year-old boy was assaulted by Brunette, his mother's live-in boyfriend. The incident took place at a Gladstone residence when the boy's mother was at work overnight.

"Injuries are going to come out during the preliminary exam as far as what they were. These were head injuries among other internal injuries."
Brunette remains lodged in the Delta County Jail with a $15,000 cash bond. There is no date set yet for his preliminary exam in District Court.
