A 20-year-old Springtown man is in jail after authorities said he critically injured his girlfriend’s 8-week-old baby on Valentine’s Day.

Kaleb Ray Eisenmann was babysitting the baby and two older children while their mother was at work, according to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office.

At some point, Eisenmann called the baby’s mom and said the baby had a cold and wasn’t breathing right.

“When the mother arrived at the home she found her 8-week-old son lethargic, pale and not acting normally,” the sheriff’s office said.

Sheriff’s investigators said that Eisenmann got frustrated when the baby wouldn’t stop crying. He told investigators that he didn’t slam the baby on the bed, but “put him down really kinda hard.”

The baby suffered head trauma and his injuries were consistent with abuse. He is in critical condition at Cook Children’s Medical Center. Staff at the hospital also found bruises on the woman’s 2-year-old, according to the sheriff’s office.

According to a GoFundMe set up to help the baby’s mother, the baby has severe brain damage and has suffered multiple seizures.

This article states the baby is 7weeks old
Family members identified the baby as a 7-week-old named Jax. His mother Journy Williams had been dating Eisenmann, and family members said that while he was not the biological father of the child, he was involved with family and was at the hospital for the child's birth in December.

"If he was so angry, why didn't he just set him down and let him cry? He didn't have to hurt him," said Jax's maternal grandmother Michelle Aaron.

Aaron said that Williams remains by Jax's side in the hospital, and said doctors fear that Jax may have suffered permanent brain damage from Shaken Baby Syndrome.

The family does not believe Eisenmann's description of the incident and wants him to face tougher charges.
 
Charges against a Parker County man accused of injuring an 8-week-old in February have been upgraded to capital murder after the child died.

Kaleb Ray Eisenmann was initially charged with injury to a child after the boy was found with “severe head trauma,” but now faces a capital murder charge after the infant died on Wednesday.

Hospital officials said the infant had severe head trauma, which are consistent with abuse.
 
Kaleb Ray Eisenmann, 24, was sentenced to 50 years in prison for injury to a child causing serious bodily injury or death.
Eisenmann's attorneys called a medical examiner from Williamson County, who said that he believed Jax's death was caused by a viral infection. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner, radiologists, neurologist, neuropathologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, pediatricians, palliative care doctor, emergency room doctor and the director of the CCMC Care Team all testified that the defense expert was wrong and that Jax's injuries were caused by trauma.
During an interview played for jurors, Eisenmann made several inculpatory statements to an investigator with the Parker County Sheriff's Office, including: "I was getting frustrated and I was just trying to get him to calm down." "I didn't slam him, but did set him down really hard" and his head did bounce up." "I picked him up a little hard but... it was hard enough to probably cause an injury."
During the trial, Eisenmann testified that he suffers from bipolar syndrome and, sometimes, he gets frustrated and has "fits", which he said can happen instantaneously and come and go rapidly. He admitted being frustrated with Jax on February 14 and having "a fit" and set him down in frustration.
"This was a helpless baby whose life was taken because of Mr. Eisenmann's selfishness," Placke said. "He put Jax's mother in the unimaginable position of having to make end of life decisions for her infant son."
Under Texas parole law, Eisenmann will be eligible for release after he has served 25 years, Swain said.

"Of course, just because he is eligible for parole doesn't mean that they have to release him."
