A father in Wentzville has plead guilty after a disturbing case of child abuse that left his six-week-old son dead.
Robert Burnette entered the guilty plea Monday for child abuse resulting in death.
Back in November of 2016, court documents show Burnette stuck his fingers down the baby’s throat to stop him from crying and slammed the child against a bed.
A sentencing hearing has been set for October 29. News 4 has been told the state will ask for Burnette to face 30 years in prison.
Robert James Burnette, 22, of Wentzville, was sentenced today to serve 26 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.
Court records state that in the fall of 2016 Burnette (who was 19 years old at the time) shook his six-week-old son, slammed him face down onto a bed and held him there, and then shoved his fingers down the infant’s throat to stop him from crying. Police also said that Megan Hendricks, the infant’s mother, was aware of the abuse and lied to doctors about the baby’s injuries in order to protect Burnette. Both parents were arrested and charged with child abuse/neglect.
The infant, who was named Jaxon, died on November 29, 2016 at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital after life support was discontinued.
Burnette entered a guilty plea in August 2018.
She pled guilty on 30 August 2018. Sentencing is scheduled for this Friday, 15 February 2019.Did the mom get any prison time?
Megan Hendrick was sentenced Friday to 21 years in state prison after knowingly allowed her six-week-old baby to be abused by the child’s father, resulting in the child’s death.
According to the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the abuse occurred between October 18 and November 7, 2016.
Prosecutors allege 22 Hendricks was present when the father, Robert Burnette injured the baby by violently shaking him, slamming the infant into a bed face first, and shoving his fingers down the infant’s throat to stop him from crying.
The baby, was rushed to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital with broken bones, liver contusions, and bleeding on the brain. He was pronounced dead on November 28, 2016 after being removed from life support.
Hendricks pleaded guilty to abuse and neglect of a child resulting in death on August 30, 2018.
Burnette, the child’s father, was sentenced February 8, 2019 to 26 years in prison on similar charges.
Authorities said Burnette had a history of violence and that his parents told police that he had tried to kill his own brother over the years by beating or stabbing him and trying to smother or drown him.
Hendricks lied at the hospital, telling doctors she didn’t know how the baby was injured, police said. Authorities say she never showed emotion during their interrogation. She referred to her son not by his name but by “the kid” or “the baby.” She also feigned crying at one point, but stopped when the officer left the interrogation room.
