Sandy Springs Police are looking for a babysitter accused of severely injuring an infant.
Captain Steve Rose tells WSB they were notified by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite after the boy was brought in with severe head injuries.
"A five-month-old child had suffered severe... what appeared to be head trauma," said Rose, "severe head injury -- trauma from what we later determined to be shaken baby syndrome."
Rose says 27-year-old Caris Ayala Rivas babysat Angel Pantoja prior to the child's injury on October 5th.
"Detectives spoke with the family and determined that the child was in the custody of the babysitter. The babysitter said that the child became unresponsive," said Rose.
Rivas originally cooperated with police, before deciding she needed to get an attorney. Her attorney said she never showed up for an appointment. When police went to her home, she was gone.
"She is with her husband," said Rose, "and they have absconded. We believe they're either trying to leave the country or have done so."
The couple was last seen driving in a black Toyota T-100 with Georgia tag: BKM 9384.
The child, who doctors say shows severe trauma to the brain, remains on life support.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sandy Springs Police Department.
