The girl’s mother told the news outlet that emergency personnel were taking long to respond, so the girl’s father took her to the hospital.

She underwent surgery and remains in stable condition. On Tuesday night, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said he has initiated an internal affairs investigation into the delayed response.
