A paralyzed six-year-old boy won $8.4 million from a hospital because the doctors failed to report abuse the first time he suffered injuries at the hands of his biological parents.

Cree Miller, who is now wheelchair-bound and adopted, was taken to Sutter Amador Hospital in Jackson, California, when he was seven weeks old, with nurses notes saying he allegedly was dropped on his head.

But hospital staff sent him home with his parents and did not report the abuse to Child Protective Services.

He was then seen again at 10 weeks old after an injury to his spine which left him paralyzed from the waist down.

Now, six years later, Cree and his adoptive mother Dawn Miller have won a multi-million-dollar pay-out after suing the hospital on the grounds that reports of the first abuse could have protected him from the second injury that changed his life.
