Alexander Karangis Is Bipolar & His Infant Son Is Brain Dead

[Sugar Cookie]

Alexander Karangis, 27, of Scranton, is charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children.

Investigators say Karangis brought his limp and lifeless 2-month-old child to Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton on January 8. The child was flown to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where a child abuse physician on staff told investigators the injuries were caused by a traumatic event, possibly shaking or throwing the baby.

The boy was to be taken off life support, started to breathe on his own, and was readmitted to the ICU. Doctors began treatment again even though the baby was brain dead and would remain in a vegetative state.

Karangis told police he has bipolar disorder and sometimes gets into arguments but denied ever physically abusing the baby.

Police believe a Scranton man is responsible for injuries to his 2-month-old son that left the child in intensive care.

In a case like this I feel they should have just let this poor baby go, he's going to have to live his short life in pain, brain dead, just a body that unfortunately is still breathing. Poor little guy, I hope someone beats the shit out of this worthless father.

There has not been any updates on the gofundme but it is possible Meiko has passed away.

When my mother was taken off life support it took a week for her system to shut down.
