Photo: Randall E. King The biological father of a 5-month-old baby suspected of being a victim of child abuse appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court earlier this month. Thirty-six-year-old Randall E. King of rural Mountain Home entered a no contest plea to charges of endangering the welfare of a minor in the first degree. He was placed on four years probation. The mother of the child, 35-year-old Desiree Marie Daniels, is due to appear in circuit court on Jan. 14. The two children in the family, the victim and his older sister, were in foster care as late as last month. The Office of Child Support Enforcement has brought suit against Daniels seeking support for the children.
