15-day-old child killed by father while high on Dust-Off
20-year-old Kenneth Ryan was left in charge of Julian, his 15-day-old boy.
Kenneth claims he blacked out after huffing a can of Dust-Off had and has no recollection of what happened. Dusting, also known as Huffing, is the act of inhaling canned air, like Dust-Off, for a quick and cheap high. The high comes from chemical propellants found within the cans and not the compressed air itself.
He is currently telling police he does not know how his baby died.
Julians mother, Alicia Woody, was upstairs napping when she was awaken by Kenneth Ryan carrying their limp and dying child.
Autopsy reports have determined death was caused by multiple blunt force trauma to the head and face.
Kenneth Ryan is being charged with first-degree murder.
WJZ.com also has a video interview with the mother.

Please make a correction: People can not get “high” from compressed air. They get high from the other gasses in “dust off” products.

I willl never understand some people.They cant seem to put their habits behind them and put their children first.So many people do horrible things to their kids and they try and use their drug abuse or their need or alcohol as an exscuse .,” i didnt feed my baby because i was drunk , i had to drink, i have done it for so many years, i need help’ it’s horrible., people say they need help after the fact or after the damage has been done, only once they are caught, and it’s too late.the babies are the ones who suffer.And most likely people like that will go the rest of their lives pretendng it didnt happen,

I’m so sick of “parents” who only think of themselves. What they want. They just have to get drunk or they just have to get high. These sort of people do NOT need to be around kids, ever. They sure as hell don’t need to be baby sitting. Another tragic loss…
