Could baby Calab have been saved?

TROY, Ohio (WDTN) - New details about how 8-month-old Troy baby died have left the neighborhood horrified. Detectives said they found baby Calab dead in the family's apartment on Hilltop Drive July 26, 2010.

Court documents said that the baby's room had spots of blood, and that Calab had dried blood, bruises and bite marks on his body. His parents, Tara and Jason Durig are now facing child endangerment charges in relation to the death.

Neighbors said they could sometimes hear the baby crying for hours as the Durigs sat outside, but it appears no one contacted authorities. Experts say that's a lesson to be learned.

"My advice is just make the phone call. It's better to err on the side of the child, make sure everything's okay," said Ann Stevens, Montgomery County Job and Family Services. "You don't need to prove that child abuse has occurred, but if your inner voice is telling you something is wrong, chances are there is something wrong."

Stevens said you can call your local law enforcement agencies if you have any suspicions of child abuse. In Montgomery County, you can call Children Services at 224-KIDS.
