I think you're right, I think that's why he wasn't aiming the camera and we saw his cheek -- he was holding the camera in the same hand and had the baby over that arm.In the middle of the video where we don't see anything and just hear him crying, maybe he was holding his son then.
Beer...lots and lots of beerI don't know why men Father children with women they have no intention of staying with or why women have children by men they don't even like or just for the drama,
Beer...lots and lots of beer![]()
I googled her name from my son's phone (no dd in his cache) and ours is first.I think Dalisha Salter's name should be in the title of this thread so anyone who knows Dalisha Salter and Googles her will end up here. Dalisha Salter.![]()
lol, it probably would have helped if I had spelled her name right.I googled her name from my son's phone (no dd in his cache) and ours is first.![]()
No, sorry. I don't blame him.
No, he shouldn't have, but he did.
I'm not saying "Good for him." I'm just saying... heat of the moment and emotion took over.
I know I cried when I first saw the videoI shouldn't ha've read this and followed the links. I am so fucking angry/ confused/ speechless over this! This fucking heartless cunt! This is beyond disturbing to me...
This poor baby was subjected to horrible abuse in his short little life, at the hands of the very woman supposed to protect him and keep him safe. Only 11 months old. Just starting to walk...
She OBVIOUSLY can't stand her son. For her to display such hatred towards her innocent baby, one would think she is incapable of love. There MUST have been some signs of her evil, PRIOR TO THIS? Surely she has always disliked him or resented him? Maybe never wanted him?
I just can't understand this. At all. Just evil.
That would be to logical to do.Hell, beating the shit out of an infant then throwing outside is attempted murder! Why the hell isn't she in jail?
Yes and he needs to get it handled so he can help his baby.They still want to arrest him?
A district justice dropped the charges against a local father on Thursday in connection with an abuse case against his 11-month-old son.
David Bryant was cleared of any wrongdoing, having the most serious charge – endangering the welfare of a child – dismissed, but he told Channel 11 News his fight is far from over.
“I'm kind of happy in a way. I'm just looking to get my son back,” Bryant said.
"I think that the judge - when she looked at the video - you could see it on her face when you hear David crying and just sobbing over his son's condition. The video, as he said, speaks for itself,” said Bryant’s attorney, Wendy Williams.
While the charges against Bryant were dismissed, the judge ruled there was enough evidence to hold all of the charges, including aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child against Salter.
Blaine Jones, Salter’s attorney, said his client is standing by her original story that her son was injured when Bryant got mad and knocked over a TV.
Police did not buy Salter’s story and actually charged her with filing a false report.
A Wilkinsburg woman was convicted Thursday of abusing her 11-month-old son in 2014.
Dalishia Salter, 24, was found guilty on charges of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, reckless endangerment and making false reports in a trial before Common Pleas Judge Beth A. Lazzara. She will be sentenced Oct. 28. (Of this year)
Bryant was convicted of several charges related to the case in June 2015, including simple assault and criminal mischief. He was sentenced to two years of probation. Not entirely sure why, I couldn't find anything on this part.
UPDATE: We have received word that the parental rights of both "parents" Dalishia and David have been terminated. They do have the option to appeal this of course and likely will if they haven't already.
All 3 children are still together in the foster home they've been in since the start and are doing great.
REMINDER: Sentencing for Dalishia will be on October 28th.
For those confused on why David's right were terminated as well: David went back to Dalishia just 3 months after she beat his son. Since David was released from prison 7 months ago he only showed up to 1 visit (and was a half hour late) with the kids. David tried his best at trial to protect Dalishia instead of making sure his child received Justice.
Highly disappointed that he went back to her.From the Justice for Daviere Facebook page dated September 23rd 2016

A Pennsylvania mother convicted of severely beating her infant son then leaving him outside with the trash deserves the 7 1/2- to 15-year prison term she's serving, a state appeals court panel has concluded.
The Superior Court denied Dalishia Salter's challenge to her conviction for aggravated assault and other crimes in an opinion by Judge John Bender.
Bender whole-heartedly agreed with Allegheny County Judge Beth A. Lazarra that Salter's own "cold, calculating" demeanor and evident disregard for her son's welfare resulted in her August 2016 convictions by a county jury. He heavily cited Lazarra's account of the case in his opinion.
Police said the assault on the 11-month-old occurred in September 2014 at Salter's home in Wilkinsburg. After she beat her child, Salter "put him outside in the dark, in a car seat, on the back porch...next to the garbage," Lazarra noted.
Then, Lazarra wrote, Salter texted her ex-boyfriend, the child's father. That message included the statements "Beat df out of ya son...U want dat piece of (expletive) take em cuz bet ima kill him."
Police officers who responded to the incident were struck by Salter's lack of emotion and concern for her son. She didn't even ask where the medics were taking him, Lazarra wrote.
She noted the boy's face was badly bruised, he was bleeding underneath an eye and had a skull fracture. X-rays showed older wounds, indicating he had been abused before.
"When she took the (witness) stand she was cold, calculated, combative and completely unconcerned for the well-being of her child," Lazarra wrote of Salter. Her "testimony was not credible in the least."
