Saginaw Man Accused Of Shaking Baby

On Sept. 12, a mother brought her 1-year-old daughter to the Covenant HealthCare emergency room in Saginaw. The infant was suffering from seizure-like symptoms, prosecutors allege.

Tests revealed the baby had new and older brain injuries. Prosecutors believe the injuries were caused by the child having been shaken.

Police began investigating and developed the mother’s boyfriend, Waylon G. Bebout, as a suspect.

Authorities on April 1 issued a warrant for Bebout’s arrest. Saginaw police arrested him and lodged him in the county jail on Wednesday, June 26.

Bebout on Thursday morning appeared in Saginaw County District Court for arraignment on one count of first-degree child abuse. The charge is punishable by up to life imprisonment.

The arraigning judge set bond at $100,000 cash-surety. Bebout is to appear for a preliminary examination at 9 a.m. on July 15. Prosecutors could not comment on the current medical condition of the baby.

Shaken Baby Syndrome typically occurs out of frustration or anger on the part of a parent or caregiver, states the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

“Babies have very weak neck muscles that cannot fully support their proportionately large heads,” the AANS states on its website. “Severe shaking causes the baby’s head to move violently back and forth, resulting in serious and sometimes fatal brain injury. These forces are exaggerated if the shaking is interrupted by the baby’s head hitting a surface.”

Monster Dad Threw His Eight Week-Old Baby Daughter Onto Chair Because She Wouldn’t Stop Crying

‘I LOST CONTROL’ 

Monster dad threw his eight week-old baby daughter onto chair because she wouldn’t stop crying then Googled ‘shaken baby syndrome’

A DAD threw his eight-month-old daughter onto a hard chair after she the baby didn’t stop crying.

Dalton Milne, 23, reportedly Googled “shaken baby syndrome” on his phone after attacking his child instead of calling emergency services in Arizona.

It was only when other noticed that the child was unwell, Milne decided to seek medical help, according to social worker Sharon Olivia, who spoke as Milne was jailed for seven years.

Milne was arrested at his home in Kingman, Arizona, last November.

Oliva told Milne’s sentencing hearing last Friday that the child was also covered in bruises of various ages.

She added that the youngster had a bite mark on her jaw, and that she suffered from haemorrhages and seizures consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

She told Mohave Valley Daily News: “This baby was powerless to protect herself.

“We need to send that message that child abuse is wrong.”

Milne told the court: “I’m sorry this happened. I kind of lost control.”

Judge Derek Carlisle ignored his excuses and imposed the maximum sentence he was allowed to give the dad.

The judge told Mohave County Superior Court: “There is never a reason to harm a child in that fashion.”

The little girl is now in state care after Milne’s parental rights have been cut off, and her health is reported to be steadily improving.

Child Shaken As Baby Dies At Age 11

A Chambersburg man who served jail time a decade ago for violently shaking his infant son is now charged with criminal homicide following the child’s recent death. 

Jose Tejada-Espinal, 36, was arraigned late Tuesday morning by Magisterial District Judge Glenn Manns and was denied bail, court records show.

The boy, aged 11, was pronounced dead on Dec. 30 at Chambersburg Hospital, Pennsylvania State Police wrote in court documents. Tejada-Espinal and his wife had taken the child to the hospital after finding him unresponsive in bed. 

Franklin County Coroner Jeff Conner told police he believed the death was the result of an assault the child endured as an infant at the hands of his father. An autopsy the next day showed the boy’s injuries from that time caused his death, and Conner ruled the cause of death as criminal homicide, according to court records. 

Tejada-Espinal pleaded guilty in December 2008 to child endangerment and served about six months in jail, court records show. He was subsequently on probation through August 2011. 

He had originally been charged with aggravated assault. He told police at the time he had become frustrated with the child’s prolonged crying and violently shook him on the afternoon of April 8, 2008, according to a Public Opinion story from that time. The baby became unresponsive and was taken to Chambersburg Hospital, where doctors determined he was suffering from severe trauma to the head or brain and had him transferred to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. 

The police report on that incident said Tejada-Espinal had demonstrated the “rapid and forceful” movements he made to shake the baby multiple times, according to the recent court documents. He had told police he “didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment or why he did such a thing.”

In an interview following the child’s death, Tejada-Espinal told police his son’s deformities and disabilities were a result of him shaking the child as an infant. 

Tejada-Espinal’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. June 18 in Franklin County Central Court.
