CHANDLER, Ariz. -- The mother of a toddler who is on life support with a fractured skull has been arrested in connection with the child's injury.

Josefa Talavera, 20, was booked into jail Wednesday on a charge of failure to protect a child, a Class 2 felony under the child abuse statutes.

Chandler police said they had learned Talavera was present when her boyfriend, Jeramias Aguilar, allegedly threw her 2-year-old daughter to the floor on June 6. They said the mother did not call 911 for help for at least two hours after the incident.

The girl was unresponsive when police and paramedics arrived, police said. She was still on life support Thursday.

Aguilar, 21, was booked June 6 on a charge of felony child abuse. Police said he was in the country illegally.

Police said Aguilar told investigators he picked up the baby and threw her down on the concrete floor because she would not stop crying.

    Lisening to the 911 tape on the news last night mom sounded more concerned about "getting in trouble" than she did with her gravely wounded toddler. What a sicko. She should not be allowed to reproduce any longer.

    This culture reminds me of animals, male lions to be exact when taking over a pride they come in and kill all the cubs that had been sired by previous male lions. How pathedic.

    A lot of these women are hard up for a man. It doesn't matter if their kids get in the way. How sad and pathetic. She should be sent to the spay/neuter clinic at the Humane Society so her breeding days are over.
