PLAISTOW, N.H. -

Police are looking for a New Hampshire couple suspected of inflicting burns and bruises on a 3-year-old boy.
 
Police in Plaistow received a call last week from Exeter Hospital that a child with significant head injuries was admitted there. The boy was later taken to Children's Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, where is recovering after surgery.
 
Plaistow Lt. William Baldwin said the boy's mother, 23-year-old Jessica Linscott and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Roland Dow, told police over the phone the injuries were self-inflicted, but doctors rejected that. The couple said they would go to police on Monday, but Baldwin said that didn't happen.
 
Warrants are out charging them with child endangerment and neglect.

U.S. Marshals, the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department and Newton police are helping investigators.
