(Beaver County, PA) A woman is now facing multiple charges after officials said she physically abused her 3-month-old child in Beaver County. 

According to a criminal complaint, police were recently called to a county hospital, where a 3-month-old child was found suffering from brain bleeds and other signs of serious brain injury. 

The complaint also stated that the child was previously recommended by physical care physicians to go to that hospital after showing flu-like symptoms. 

Child and youth services later contacted the child’s mother, Harley Seaburn, who said on two separate occasions that she was intoxicated and violently threw the baby onto a bed, which caused the child’s head to “bounce.” 

She confirmed that the two separate occasions occurred three weeks apart. 

Seaburn is being held in the Beaver County Jail and is facing multiple aggravated assault and child endangerment charges.

(New Castle, PA) Vitalant is holding several blood drives in Beaver and Lawrence Counties this August to help each patient that needs blood and to save their lives.

Anybody who uses the code AUGUST15-2026-V when they make an appointment to donate blood and donate in August, will receive a $15 gift card of their choice in Vitalant Donor Rewards.

Type O blood is needed the most despite the need for all blood types, because every two seconds, a patient in the United States needs a transfusion.

For 12-year-old Andrew, whose picture with his mother can be seen below, he needed a donation of blood. He hit his head while horsing around and woke up with a lump on his neck. After countless tests, a biopsy revealed Stage 3 B-cell lymphoma, even though everyone though it was from the fall.

Andrew faced intensive chemotherapy and he received three blood transfusions to survive.

He is cancer-free today, has returned to school, and is back to playing basketball.

Andrew’s mother, Marissa, said. “Every unit of blood is valuable. We’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to donate. It helped save Andrew’s life.”

(Dorchester County, SC) The owner of a health and wellness office in Monaca was arrested in South Carolina and charged with criminal sexual conduct and performing medical exams without a license.

Joshua Himes was arrested and charged in June.

Himes is originally from Monaca and operates a location of Pro Health Place on Brodhead Road and in South Carolina.

According to the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Department, a victim accused Himes of sexual assault.

Deputies found that Himes represented himself as a physician and performed medical exams at his practice during that investigation.

However, deputies learned that Himes did not have a medical license in South Carolina and is not legally permitted to practice medicine there.

According to jail records, Himes was released on a $40,000 bond the same day he was arrested.

Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible noted that he is aware of the charges against Himes in South Carolina, but there have been no allegations made against him or his practice in Monaca.

A search of Pennsylvania state records does not show any medical licenses for anyone named “Joshua Himes” or “Josh Himes” in the state.
