New Information on Autistic Child Investigation
December 2, 2005

We have more information for you on the 2-year-old autistic boy who is fighting for his life at Primary Children's Hospital.
A child care worker associated with the Chubbuck day care center is in jail in relation to the assault of the little boy.
Friends of the family say he has had a bad day on Friday. He remains in very serious condition with severe trauma to his head
The woman charged with inflicting those injuries, 39-year-old Michelle Bott-Graham, continues to deny anything to do with severe bruising to the boy's head. But prosecutors say even if they can't prove she inflicted the injuries, the fact that she did not report them to police before dropping him at this daycare is likely to be enough for a conviction.
It's very doubtful she is currently licensed. She was convicted on a felony drug possession charge a couple of years ago and so even though she has specialized in treating autistic children, she probably was not licensed to do so.
The woman had her first appearance in court. She had bail set at $75,000. She is still in the Bannock County jail. If the woman is convicted of the charges against her, she could spend up to 30 years in prison.
Meanwhile friends of Cameron's family have set up a fund at Idaho State University to help the family pay for his treatment.
Friends of the family are also beginning a drive to collect presents for Cameron and his four-year-old brother.
Those who want to donate can take their stuff to Whispering Pines Assisted Living at 4875 Burley Drive in Chubbuck, 24-hours a day.
