Playing Rough with a Four Month Old?
Man sentenced to 65-80 years
I have trouble even calling him a father, despite what the article says. A four-month-old baby was murdered, and afterward he refused to call for help. He’ll serve time for it, while the mother was found incompetent to stand trial. That poor baby never had a chance.

I’ve read countless reports of child abuse, and as a mom myself, I know how overwhelming parenting can feel. Every parent gets frustrated. The difference is knowing when to step away.
I found a lesser-known foundation created in memory of 8-month-old Matty Eappen that focuses on preventing shaken baby syndrome and supporting parents in crisis. Take a look if you can.
