William Galan, 35, and Heather Chambers, 37, were being held Friday in the Bergen County Jail, charged with child endangerment pending detention hearings the next morning, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

The infant’s injuries “were inflicted by William Galan and Heather Chambers” and “no medical treatment was ever sought,” Musella said.

It all came to light after they took the baby to Hackensack University Medical Center, after which Musella’s Special Victims Unit was contacted by the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency, the prosecutor said.

Chambers also has a daughter who friends believe is 5 years old and no longer in her custody.
