Sentenced: Saline Co. Man Gets 18 Years For “Shaking” And Permanently Disabling Baby

[Sugar Cookie]

Brandon K. Ford will spend more than a decade behind bars for severely injuring a child.

Ford pled guilty to aggravated battery of a child. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison and 3 years supervised release.

Back in June 2019 Ford was arrested for shaking his 3-month-old baby Bryson, causing critical injuries. The baby was airlifted to Cardinal Glennon Children's hospital after showing up at the emergency room with "Shaken Baby Syndrome."

State's Attorney Kasiar said she is hopeful this sentence will act as a deterrent against child abuse, and will educate the public about the serious, life-altering injuries and consequences that occur when a baby is shaken.

Bryson’s aunt Katlin Gunning said over the weekend he was taken off the ventilator and is now breathing on his own.

Gunning said Bryson also opened his eyes but doctors are unsure if he is really seeing anything.

Bryson is still at Cardinal Glennon undergoing physical therapy.

The family has started fundraising for Bryson’s medical bills.

I’m sorry but the bullshit about his sentence was to educate the public not to shake a baby is insane in 2021.
