23-year-old Storm L. Sinclair was charged with one count of abuse or neglect of a child, court records show. According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at about 7:15 a.m. on Saturday responded to a home in Fort Osage to assist Emergency Medical Services with a 2-month-old baby suffering from a severe head injury.

When questioned by paramedics at the scene, Sinclair allegedly said he was feeding the boy a bottle and preparing to burp him, but while "transitioning" the child to a burping position, he claimed the newborn "kicked" and fell onto the "hard floor." An officer noted that while speaking to the medic, Sinclair kept repeating the phrase, "I'm sorry."

The victim was transported to Children's Mercy Hospital for treatment. While there, the medical staff advised investigators that the baby had internal cranial bleeding and was "covered in bruises." The staff further advised that Sinclair's story about the provenance of his son's injuries "did not match up" with the severity of the infant's condition.

When confronted with the supposed evidence of child abuse, Sinclair allegedly responded by stating, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say," according to the affidavit. He also made comments about how he wanted his son "to be a better man than he is," adding that he understood "he probably won't be in his [son's] life anymore."

In a formal interview with detectives, Sinclair allegedly repeated that he dropped his son on the floor after the newborn "kicked." However, this time his story allegedly included several additional grisly details.

"[Sinclair] advised he picked [the victim] up and thought he was choking so he struck him in the back with an open hand," the affidavit states. "[Sinclair] advised at that point he laid [the victim] on the bed and struck him with a closed hammer fist in the abdomen one time. [Sinclair] advised he smacked [the victim] on the left side of the head."

Sinclair also reportedly told police that he shook the child's head "from side to side as hard as he could" and that he was "trying to harm" the victim, the affidavit said.

If the mother ever allows this man back in her child's life she may as well sign the baby's death certificate.
