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.
Honest question: how are baby killers treated by other inmates in American prisons?
It’s almost like violent video games don’t cause violence.
Obviously the solution is to ban sports and sports video games.
The NBA causes violence!
Quick, let’s sue the NBA for causing child violence!
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.
😞
“found by his mother” says so much without having to go into details.
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.
Well that was a depressing read while holding my 9 month old.
Jesus fuck…
"The child is reportedly not expected to survive.
. . .
he had suffered a fractured skull, six broken ribs, and a broken collar bone."
Well, shit… “Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853 after just one execution.”
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.
I was full on running by 9 months my sister was spitting sentences… “sentences”… But still.
That is way ahead of my child! Walking at 11 months and I was so damn proud of that.
We all have our strengths.
Jalin
…there’s some nominative determinism for ya.

It is now allowed to hate both the player AND the game.
