Dad charged with torture, abuse of 13-week-old son during unsupervised visitation

 

Dad charged with torture, abuse of 13-week-old son during unsupervised visitation (Farmington Hills, Michigan)

Unmarried teenage dads like JOHN KELLY do not need visitation time with babies. Cut these guys loose, and let them go out and carouse with their friends, play football, etc. Because that's what 17-year-old boys are designed to do. Let's get real: teenage guys are mostly about physically active stuff, not nurturing stuff (and many guys never grow into the nurturing stuff either, but that's another story). Teenage guys are not about cooing at babies and changing diapers. And because this idiotic boyfriend or ex-boyfriend wasn't cut loose, and apparently spent unsupervised time with this baby, we know have a 13-week-old baby boy with a broken leg and a fractured skull. Are all the joint custody people happy now?
