An Afton man has been arrested and charges filed in the investigation of a child abuse case.
Lincoln County Attorney Spencer Allred said Ty Putnam was formally charged on January 17, 2019 with two counts of child abuse and three counts of aggravated child abuse. The abuse is alleged to have occurred between the dates of September 10, 2018 and November 3, 2018.
Lincoln County Circuit Court set a bond for Putnam at $100,000.
In late November, the Afton Police Department stated that they were notified that an infant had been life flighted to Primary Children’s Hospital with serious injuries.
According to a search warrant unsealed in Third District Court, a 6-month-old girl was flown from Afton to Primary Children’s Hospital after doctors in Afton “located a brain bleed.”
A preliminary hearing on the matter has been scheduled for January 22 at 2:00 p.m. in the Circuit Courtroom in Kemmerer, Wyoming.

Bull Shit Ty would never do this. That girl is trying to cover herself up. I have been around Ty when he has been with children and there is no way he did this. I think someone better open there .
Ty didnt do this no way in hell u should be after the freaking mom
I’m all the way in Maine now but I see his snaps. He’s all about that baby. I used to work with this man. He’s not like that.
I am shocked!
What kind of person beats a helpless infant??? Rather the so called mother or Ty did the damage, they both should be charged to the fullest extent of the law. How do you not know your baby has been beaten severely enough to have a brain bleeds, broken collar bone, not to mention the numerous bruises??? Both should have no rights to the child. What long term affects will the poor child have because to their lack of love?? Shame on you both, as you sit in jail may you remember the pain, and damage you have caused to one of Gods greatest gifts!!! I hope this little one will find love and security in someone else arms that will call it an honor to love and heal this broken little angel!!
Put that mother in jail too and figure out how the hell the child got hurt like this! Ty has been around tons of kids and nothing has ever happened, but the second Morgan has a baby it has a brain bleed! Oh but it’s all Tys fault right? Connect the dots before it’s too late! Eventually this kid is going to be hurt worse by the mother and she’s not going to do anything about it!
I’ve known Ty for years and there is no way in he’ll that Ty did this. I have seen him with kids. Ty is great with them.
No way would he ever do this he has raised kids and given love to more than I can count! The law enforcement is so eager to lock someone up they’ll lock the wrong person up till Morgan beats that baby again and it’s worse!
The police have done a very intensive investigation and spoken to many people over and over. Spoken with the doctors who have treated the child. This horrible incident took place back in November and just now made an arrest because they were doing their jobs. It’s amazing how many people are so quick to believe he had nothing to do with it. Obviously the evidence has lead them to ty. In situations like this they don’t just want to make an arrest to put blame on someone they investigate everything to make sure they get the right person and have enough hard evidence to prosecute. These cases are taken very serious and when the time comes justice will be served.
This is unfathomable, disgusting, and heart breaking. Signs of spiritual decay. May they both rot in jail and in hell.
Postpartum depression is real, they should be investigating the mother too, that baby could be in danger. Also I wonder if anyone of them are on drugs. Its a real problem in this valley.
