__________________________________________________ __________________________
A father, who was driven ‘mad’ by
the crying of his baby son, beat and shook the six-week-old so viciously
that he was left blind and brain damaged.Nicholas
McRoberts, 27, has been jailed for eight years - the maximum permitted -
after admitting the attack on tiny Devin McRoberts.
After the brutal beating, McRoberts of Cincinnati, Ohio waited two and a half hours before dialling 911.
The father at first blamed the baby’s horrific injuries on his two year old son who he had also allegedly abused.
Judge
Robert Ruehlman, at Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, Ohio, decribed
‘page after page of injuries’ and said that McRoberts had ruined his
son’s life, Cincinnati.com reported.
'You destroyed your son’s life and he’s ruined. He’s blind,' Ruehlman told McRoberts.
'(He)
won’t be able to function or hardly walk. Six weeks old, beat this kid,
page after page of (his) injuries. Broken ribs, Broken skull.
Six-week-old little baby. Damaged brain and you only get eight years.'Ruined life: Devin McRoberts is unlikely to ever get his sight back after the attack by father Nicholas, pictured, in court,
Ruehlman said that the violent father should never be allowed to have more children.
'You
hate to hear little kids cry,' the judge told McRoberts, quoting from a
psychiatric report on McRoberts. 'It makes you mad.'
'You will probably have more kids and probably beat those kids, too,' he said.
McRoberts
who admitted in court to having ‘a bad temper’ had been looking after
the infant at their flat in Reading last June when the attack occurred.
She’s
also the lawyer for McRoberts’ two-year-old child, the one the father
blamed for hurting the infant before later pleading guilty.
McRoberts’
children had been taken away from him by the Department of Job &
Family Services but were later returned, Mary Ann Ford, the attorney for
the baby said.
