A Scott County, Indiana man was in jail Saturday morning charged in the death of toddler but police say the case isn't closed yet.

26-year-old Jason Hensley of Austin, Indiana is  a man police say is an friend of the mother's.  Hensley was arrested for murder and battery in the death of 2-year-old Jacob Lord.

He died at Kosair Children's Hospital on Wednesday night from a head injury.

His grandmother says that Hensley and Jacob’s mother had been dating for a few months.

"Even though we have made an arrest in this case, this case is not closed. 

We'll continue to investigate this and if we find anyone else is involved then we will present those charges also to the prosecutor’s office,” said Jerry Good of Indiana State Police.

Hensley is scheduled to be in a Scott County courtroom on Monday.

May my God have mercy on you soul. The little boy is HOME safe in the arms of GOD. Why have you not hung yourself? I could not live with myself knowing I hurt a child , pet, or any of my Gods creatures. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING.

My Little Baby Jacob rest in Peace, this was one of the sweetest little boys you would ever meet. I hope Jason gets everything he deserves in jail. I don't see how he could do this to any child, I just hate to see what his own poor son went through.

I would really like to smack the smile off of his face in his mug shot. I don't understand how he could be smiling about what he did. RIP Jacob

This person is obviously a monster, hopefully he will get what he deserves when he goes to prison. Maybe he won't be smiling then. To kill such a helpless child, he is nothing but a piece of garbage and should be treated as such.
