EL PASO, Texas -- A 19-year old Vado man stands charged with intentional child abuse of his three-week-old son.

Dona Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez says the suspect, Steven Estrada, said the baby fell off the couch over the weekend.

In a hearing held Tuesday, Martinez argued for increasing Estrada's bond after learning the child had a spinal fracture.
