Dad Assaults Infant.

http://www.wthitv.com/dpp/news/crime/russell-charged-after-injuring-infant
The father, Kenneth Russel, shook his baby twice, causing bleeding in the brain both times. He also broke 11 of the little babies bones. He is 26 years old and from Jasonville Indiana. He is now in the Green county jail facing three class B felony charges. This baby will never see or walk due to the injuries. I will pray for a miracle.

Of course the local news doesn't provide much information. Where was the mother? If you check out the comments there is always someone who blames the mother when the father injuries the child. Does the father have a criminal history? Does he have court ordered visitation that the mother fought against? Does he have protection orders against him? Maybe nobody knew that he was dangerous and violent. Maybe, just maybe, the mother did know and tried to protect her baby. Kenneth Russel has a myspace account and his current status is...

"im giving up.......... screw it!!!!!!!! Life is going to hell......"   Hmmm, hell for that precious baby and it's mother maybe!

Update:
I found another story with a little more information. The smaller local paper was better able to report the news than the nearby larger town's TV news station. Apparently Russell has only been alone with the one month old child twice and he injured it both times. The mother was afraid of him and his temper and told investigators that she did not believe it was an accident. She had ran to the store when this incident happened. The father reported that he had a lot of "personal frustrations."

And of course in the comments section several people feel the mother should be held responsible. It is really disgusting that there are always people who think a mother is responsible for the violent and evil actions of a father.
"The poor child! Yes, the mother should also be held responsible and any other children in the home should be taken away...." Gee, I am so glad there are people out there that know exactly what has happened and what to do about it (sarcasm of course). Some comments about the mother make the one I copied appear quite nice and reasonable.
I am soooo concerned about the comments section on this story. It reflects how little society actually knows about domestic violence. One women who was with an abusive husband for 5 years believes that her children where not harmed by the abuse because she protected them from his violence. I wonder if she has ever stopped for a second and thought about how the children seeing her having to protect them from their father might effect them-let alone seeing their father beat their mother. She was one of the harshest critics of this little baby's mother. This poor women doesn't even know that her children where harmed. She must not have had to fear the courts ordering them into his care unsupervised either. If us women can not stand together, no one is going to stand for us. My heart is breaking for this baby AND the mother. Of course the baby's little sibling will suffer as well. This mother may already blame herself for being too afraid of this evil man and I hope she is surrounded by people who will help her through this.
