Orangeburg, S.C. - An Orangeburg man is in jail charged in a shocking child neglect case.

Police say a 2-year-old boy who was left in Winton Haigler's care suffered severe injuries, including a ruptured spleen, lacerated liver and head injuries so extreme they caused bleeding on his brain.

A police report says the boy's mother left him with Haigler at an Orangeburg motel while she went to work.

The boy's father was at Haigler's Tuesday bond hearing and told the judge "it wouldn't be right" for Haigler to be out on the streets.  Haigler's bond was set at $100,000.
