Neither have been charged specifically with the death of the boy, however.

In the complaint, doctors say the bruises left on the boy were point to "rough handling," and doctors suspect the boy was being abused and neglected. It happened when Gamez and Schrank were babysitting the three-year-old boy while his mom was at work. According to the criminal complaint, the two smoked meth while the boy and their five-year-old son were in the home July 28. The boy was taken to the hospital for internal and external injuries, where he died later that night. The complaint also says their son had bruises that indicate abuse and neglect.

I have smoked an absurd amount of meth in my day. Never once did I even think about hurting a child. In fact I tried to avoid any kind of activity that required me to be in charge of anything besides myself.

Manitowoc Police say the two adults who were babysitting him, Eduardo Gomez and Jamie Schrank, are now facing charges of party to the crime of repeated acts of physical abuse to a child causing death. It's a felony charge that carries life imprisonment.
