Eighteen-year-old Jalin White is charged with felony child abuse and neglecting a child, after prosecutors said he threw a baby at a wall earlier this week.
Milwaukee police said that the child is just 8 months old.

Prosecutors in court Saturday did not say what led up to the abuse, but did say that White confessed to throwing the baby at a wall.

"Your statement (was) he hit the wall hard. You heard the bang of the wall," Milwaukee County Court Commissioner Andrea Bolender said.
The abuse sent the 8-month-old to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police. Prosecutors said medical experts believe the child has been abused multiple times before.

"Which have multiple injuries indicating that the victim had been abused multiple ways over a period of time," Witte said.
Prosecutors did not say whether or not the baby is White's, but White became emotional in court, shaking his head and wiping tears from his eyes.

"The medical personnel have indicated that, sadly, this child is not expected to live," Bolender said. "Which would increase these charges to a homicide."

According to a criminal complaint, on Nov. 5, White had been caring for his son while the child's mother left their residence to go pick up some marijuana.
When the child's mother returned to the home, investigators say she noticed something was not right with her son. According to the complaint, one of the baby's arms was twitching and did not appear well, his hands were turning different colors, and one of his eyes was completely swollen shut.


The baby's mother subsequently called 911.

The child was rushed to Children's Wisconsin, where a CT scan revealed he had a large skull fracture.
The complaint says, White had no explanation for how the child sustained a skull fracture or traumatic brain injury.


Initially, White claimed the child's injuries were the result of the baby's mother bumping his head on a door frame, but then said the child fell from an air mattress to the carpeted floor while changing his diaper.
According to the complaint, White changed his story again claiming he dropped the child while he was standing playing video games.


Finally, investigators say White admitted he threw his son against the wall and onto the bed because he was frustrated he was down two points in the fourth quarter of his video game.
 
On Monday, Jalin A. White, 22, pleaded guilty to one count each of physical abuse of a child – recklessly causing great bodily harm, and neglecting a child – resulting in great bodily harm, according to a plea agreement obtained by Law&Crime.
In turn, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Anderson M. Gansner accepted the plea and deviated slightly from the state's preferred sentence of 14 years in state prison. The defendant was ultimately sentenced to 12 years in prison with seven years of probation.
The boy, identified as JW in court documents, was in good health when his mother left to buy some marijuana, according to law enforcement. But the mother returned to find her little boy in his playpen "making noises," the charging document says. As it turns out, the child was barely breathing and his right arm was "twitching."

So, the mother picked JW up, causing White to "angrily" ask where she was going and demanding she give him the baby, according to the complaint. The mom took JW to her father, who told her to call 911.
The infant was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was diagnosed with skull fractures, six broken ribs and a healing broken collar bone. At one point, the child was intubated and lost his pulse, requiring multiple rounds of CPR to revive him. While not initially expected to survive, JW was, in the end, able to recuperate from the extreme abuse, prosecutors told Law&Crime in an email on Tuesday.
Eventually, the defendant admitted to throwing JW against the wall while he was frustrated with the video game.

White told investigators he was playing NBA2K – a basketball simulation video game – and became frustrated that he was down 2 points in the fourth quarter, which led him to throw the boy against the wall.
The defendant specifically said he was holding JW to "keep him chill for a little bit" when the boy grew heavy in his arms, so he threw the child against the wall and onto the bed. White described how the boy hit the wall a foot above the bed before landing face-first. Detectives said they would need to check with medical professionals to see if that admission made sense.
Then, the defendant grew adamant.

"My son hit his head on the wall," White told detectives, repeatedly emphasizing the impact. "He hit his head hard on the wall, bro. I swear he hit his head hard on the wall…I heard the wall, it was hard on his head. It was hard. It was a loud hard wall."
White must also complete several post-incarceration classes, programs, and treatment regimes. And he is never allowed to use corporal punishment for any child who comes into his care.

He should never be allowed to be with any child alone!

I wonder what the quality of this child's life is and if mom will put their care and safety above her need to have a man in the future.
