This is just horrible...I can't see how anyone could do this to a baby:

Carson GI jailed in baby's shaking injuries

Colorado Springs - A Fort Carson soldier told a Colorado Springs police officer that he shook his 7-week-old daughter and knew he had hurt her when she became non-responsive.

Johnathan Christopher Klinker, 21, a soldier with the 43rd Area Support Group, is being held in El Paso County jail on suspicion of felony child abuse. His daughter, Nicolette Klinker, born Aug. 23, is in critical and stable condition at Children's Hospital in Denver.

Klinker told a nurse at Children's Hospital that he was home alone with the baby on Friday. He fell asleep with her on the couch in the living room after he had taken two Percocet painkillers that were prescribed after recent shoulder surgery, according to an arrest warrant.

Klinker told police the baby was "fussy" when she woke about 9 a.m. Later that day, Klinker and the baby's mother, Amanda Redatsky, drove with the child to Trinidad. The baby vomited when her mother tried breast feeding, and the child was taken to a hospital in Trinidad, then transported to Denver.

At the hospital, Klinker told Colorado Springs police Detective Rebecca Arndt "he held Nicolette Klinker with both his hands and then shook her four to five times. When he did that she became non-responsive and he tried to wake her up because he knew something was wrong," according to the arrest affidavit.

Klinker told the detective he held the girl in his arms and "spun in circles in the living room" and then, with her head in his hand and her back against his arm, he "moved her up and down a couple of times in an upside-down position."

He said he laid Nicolette on the floor, held her hands and pulled her to a sitting position and let her fall to the ground four to five times, striking her head and back, the affidavit says.

He then said he knew he had messed up "and he had hurt Nicki," the affidavit says.

The baby suffered visible bruising to her face, brain hemorrhaging, retinal hemorrhaging and seizures, the affidavit says.

I am just shocked that one, this happened so close to me...two, a person serving our country could do this to his own child...and three, the amount of abuse that baby suffered. It's just absolutely horrible!

I usually don't illwish on anyone, but I seriously hope this guy gets what's coming to him...if his daughter doesn't die, she's going to have some serious brain damage and I'm sure the worst punishment might be knowing that he messed his daughter up for her whole life...DISGUSTING.

Okay...I'm done now...I hate hearing news stories about cruelty to animals and kids. As much as I like watching the news, it's so depressing sometimes...

That's disturbing. I've heard some pretty disturbing tales lately, actually. I should stop surfing the web (thereby, also freeing up 14 more hours in my day).
