Seems like the authorities probably know who is responsible. If those marks were from an adult they'd have busted them already. Very sad story all around.
Yes, that is the only scenario I can envision; baby on blanket on the floor, and brick (held in both hands) dropped from above. That would have been physically possible. I wonder how a loose brick got in the house, though. Kinda strange, no? Well, maybe using it for a doorstop or something.
