Take a look at this guys picture He is not a man, he is a KID. To many kids are having babies today, and this is where us as parents need to step and teach our kids about sex and babies. I would think that if he was older, and more mature, that this might have not happened. I still think he deserves a long hard punishment, because this child is going to have a long hard life.... God Bless this child.

Know what is wrong with people? There are so MANY people out there it is scary! And they are NOT all young people. I work as cashier in a large store. People get mad and angry over the dumbest things. I get swore at and called filthy names every day! ALOT of people of ALL ages are so cruel to other that have a job where they try to do their best to serve them! But, in most people's eye's, we are NEVER good enough! Our nation has lost respect for human life at all levels!

I can't believe that a person could do that. What could a baby do to upset a person to resort to such violence.I am always horrified that people cannot control their anger,Bless the child & it's family.

This is exactly why Wis should have the death penalty. How on earth could someone be so deranged to beat a defenseless infant. Now we will have pay for him to have 3 squares a day and a bed.

I know how it is to feel like you want to harm your child. My second one had severe colic and spent 90% of his day screaming, and there was nothing I could do. There were times when I just wanted him to stop, but you know what, you walk away. You take a break. Leaving a newborn alone in his crib for a couple of minutes while you take a few deep breaths and clear your mind is not going to hurt. Sure he might scream the whole time, but it won't kill him--where beating him might! Please, just take a minute to collect yourself, things will get better! Take it from me, I've been there. Luckily for me, I took a few minutes and everything turned out fine. Now my son is the happiest 5 year-old you have ever met! I wish the baby a speedy recovery, and hope that his "father" gets what he deserves!

PATHETIC!! Nearly one-month old??? Seriously? This man needs to go to jail and have the key thrown away. Because if a person can beat a one-month old...there is something seriously wrong with them.

how can you be so cruel its just a little baby doesnt know any better. If you cant handle it call someone to take care of the baby and take a break.

What is wrong with people. Another innocent life destroyed because of someone's selfishness, lack of maturity,and just being plain evil inside. How could anyone to this to a precious newborn baby???

If this person is guilty of this horrible offence, please don't refer to this individual as a "Man" A "Man" would NEVER even think of treating a child like this.

THIS GUY SHOULD/NEEDS TO GET PUNISHED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT!!! He does NOT deserve to walk and talk after what he did. Let alone breathe! I hope the baby is fine or will get better! I pray for a full recovery!
