Dad Accused Of Breaking Legs Of 8-Month-Old Daughter

[Pantlegz]

Wife send me this story since today is first day I'm home alone with the baby. I can't imagine how you could hurt someone so helpless.

For real, I have a hard time disciplining my kids sometimes because just telling them to stop or they did something wrong causes them to cry... I can't imagine anyone hurting a baby, let alone their own kid.

Alright, as a dad having gone through 4 kids - yeah, the whole diaper change thing can be rough (my kids were never especially fond of it). So I know the whole locked-legs thing, and it can get frustrating. But to use enough force to BREAK a child's legs? Even an infant? God damn! That was intentional. This man is abusive thru and thru. No way he should ever be around kids.

What's worse is that the mother and grandmother acknowledged his anger issues, and still left the kid with him. She needs some help herself.

yea i have 3 and when they locked their legs it was very frustrating but that's part of being a baby i guess. to apply that much force to break not one but both babys legs is just really sad.

Man that makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it. How in the hell could a parent do something like this to their own child?

I have a 8 month old, so this really bugs me.

21 and an eight month old kid. May have been fine 50 years ago but I think it's too young today. I'm 24 and I can barely take care of myself. Not saying that's the only cause but it's definitely a factor. Doesn't know what he's doing, doesn't know how to handle the situation, doesn't know the consequences, overreacts, court room, jail, Bubba breaking his legs.

Name dropping and smearing is a banable offense, no?

I was just stating rehashing his earlier post:

Sounds like what some AnandTech members would do if they were fathers.

If that's a problem, then I apologize and have edited my previous post just in case.
