Girl, 3, suffers brain injury and has part of her skull removed after 'stepfather abused her'

A man has been charged with hitting his three-year-old stepdaughter so hard that part of her skull had to be removed.

Joshua Houser, 22, was arrested on Thursday accused of hurting Kilah Davenport so badly at their home in Union County, North Carolina that her skull was partially taken away to reduce swelling and bleeding from her brain.

The young girl is currently in a coma after suffering a brain injury, fractured skull, broken collarbone and bruises on her body.
