Officials in a Georgia county are refusing to pay medical expenses for a toddler badly injured during a police raid on the home where the boy was staying.
Bounkham Phonesavanh was hospitalized for weeks in a burn unit after a
SWAT officer tossed a flash grenade into his crib during a no-knock
raid May 28 in Habersham County.
The 19-month-old suffered serious wounds, including a hole in his
chest that exposed his ribs, and burns to his face and chest when the grenade detonated just inches away from him as he slept.
