Horrific Abuse of 10 month old Baby

A Wyoming County, West Virginia couple, Rebecca Lester and her boyfriend Ryan Campbell were arrested on Saturday for the horrific abuse of their 10 month old baby.

According to court documents, Troupers obtained the January hospital medical records for the infant who was previously seen by hospital staff who reported the infant had bruising on its head at the time of the visit to their facility for seizures.

One witness told troupers they saw Ryan Campbell, allegedly under the influence of Meth, hit, kick, and shake the infant for 15 minutes, stating he wanted the infant to "toughen up", while the child's mother Rebecca Lester watched.  

The witness stated Lester was upset and crying but didn't know what to do because she didn't want to make Campbell mad. 

Another witness stated she saw Campbell pull the infants hair out and kick the child's car seat while she was sitting in it. 

Both have been charged with Felony Child Abuse. 
Campbell is being held in the Southern Regional Jail on $10,000 bond while Lester is at the same jail on $5,000 bond.

No current updates are available on the child's condition at this time.
