A Russell day care operation has been temporarily suspended because of alleged infant abuse.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued an Emergency Order of Suspension Friday against Heather Ragene Ross Day Care Home at 325 Hartman, Russell.  Ross is the day care operator.

According to KDHE, on or about June 25, a four-month-old infant was transported to a Wichita hospital due to injuries consistent with abuse and shaken baby syndrome.  An ongoing investigation by KDHE indicates the injuries occurred at the day care home.

The order is subject to appeal.
