Sentenced: KY Man Intentionally Assaulted His 4-Week-Old Daughter To Get Her To Stop Crying

[Sugar Cookie]

The arrest citation for 29-year-old Arien Fredrickson says officers were called for a medical distress call.

Neighbors at the Juniper Hills apartment complex say the young couple had just moved in to Unit 118, and one man said not longer after they came over to introduce themselves, police and ambulance crews “flooded” the area.


The citation says the call involved a 4-week-old baby in physical distress who was described as having “blue lips, blue color around the eyes and with a possible obstructed airway.”

According to the citation, the baby was nonresponsive and had visible injuries near her head and neck. The child was taken to a Frankfort Regional Medical Center and then transferred to UK Children’s Hospital due to “serious physical injury.”

Police say the child is still being treated for multiple “serious” and potentially life-threatening injuries.

The arrest citation says Fredrickson, the baby’s father, told officers he had intentionally assaulted the baby to get her to stop crying.


Fredrickson was arrested on charges of criminal abuse and assault. He is being held in the Franklin County Regional Jail on a $1 million bond.


The infant’s mother, Helena Herbert, was also arrested for failure to report child abuse. Detectives say she knew of the abuse and made no reports to social services.

Oh come on, we all know that a month old baby understands the concept of stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about....

Both of them look pissed off at the inconvenience of having their picture taken. I bet I could give them a much better reason to be pissed off.

I don't think that hurting babies will make them stop crying, in fact, I know it won't. Damn the stupidity and then lets take a baseball bat to them and make them stop being stupid. Think it will work?

Speaking of child abuse (and recovery in adulthood), here's powerful testimony:
.

.
Never give up.

Never give in.

Don't aid and a abet criminals after the fact, by freezing your heart, or expanding the reach of their damage. You can do it. You should. You're worth it.

Now the baby has stopped crying it's time for this evil looking man to cry, isn't it.

They hit the child to stop them from crying, but they cause painful injuries that brings more crying!! Backward logic!
