I despise child abuse! It makes me sick to my stomach... But this one is ridiculous... A father of three children and who is married, slapped his 5 month old child, because she wouldn't stop sucking on her thumb. The three children are under the age of five years old. The father of the five month old, told his wife the reason the baby's hand was swollen, was because of a bug bite, because he didn't want his wife to go to the doctor.
"It's especially sad when you have a five-month-old who can't talk, who can't tell you what is wrong ... to endure such an incident like this," said Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Frank Sabol.It truely is sickening to abuse a child that can't defend or talk up for themselves. The father is posting a $5,000 bond and will be released, the children are not in protective custody, but it’s not clear whether they are back home with their mother.
I'm not clear on what happened. Did the baby get a broken hand from being slapped? Is that just the worse thing that he did or the only thing he did?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know that's all I know of that he did... And the baby hand did break from being slapped.
