Summary

Jalin White, 20, was arrested in Milwaukee and charged with child abuse and neglect after allegedly throwing an eight-month-old baby against a wall in frustration over a basketball video game.

The infant, found by his mother with severe injuries, was hospitalized with a fractured skull, broken ribs, and other injuries, and is not expected to survive.

Prosecutors reported White initially offered conflicting explanations before admitting to the assault.

    Chain this fucker to a wrecking ball and do a 360 degree spin right into a brick wall. Eye for an eye. The punishment needs to match the crime

    Fuck… Babies are crawling at that age and some even their first words. They are also pretty robust, it would take a lot of force to fracture a skull and break ribs.

    Someone doing this is doing so knowing that they’re doing it to a conscious human being. Throw the book at him.

    It’s almost like violent video games don’t cause violence.

    “found by his mother” says so much without having to go into details.

    One phrase rings through my head when I read shit like this, from my days at a Children’s hospital.

    “Non-accidental trauma.” Still sends shivers down my soul.

    Finally, the documents claim, White admitted that he had injured JW himself because he was angry that he was two points down in the videogame NBA2K.

    I’d hate to see this guy lose a game by eight points.
