Leonard Glasgow Beats Three-Month-Old Son
Are you getting tired of grown men beating little babies? I’m sure am, but unfortunately here’s another such story.
In Syracuse, New York, Leonard Glasgow, 31, attacked his three-month-old son, Myles Glasgow. Doctors at University Hospital found that he had a fractured left leg, a factured pelvis, fractured ribs and facial injuries.
The scum bag told police that while he was bathing the baby, the boy slipped from his grasp. When he grabbed Myles, the child hit the bed. Police say that story doesn’t match Myles injuries.
Glasgow is charged with second-degree assault, a felony, and endangering the welfare of a child.
The baby remains at the hospital. Glasgow’s bail was set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. The mom is not charged.

I don’t believe that this one said he dropped the baby in the bath. Come on. There is no freakin way that by dropping him the child could sustain a fractured leg, pelvis, ribs and facial injuries. My son and daughter for that matter have both fallen in the bath tub and got no more then a bump on the noggin.

Oh, and BTW, another “f*ck you” on that fucker’s face in his mugshot. Can you imagine what his angry face looks like? *shudders* Poor baby must’ve been terrified! Babies are so helpless! That asshat doesn’t deserve the opportunity to procreate ever again!

Can’t these walking pieces of human excrement come up with a better story than “I dropped the baby”? How many of these stories have we read on this blog where the criminal attributes the baby’s injuries to being “dropped”?
Guess what, idiots, babies are actually pretty damn resilient to being dropped. It may make me a horrible mother but I actually DID drop my baby once - when he was a newborn. My own stupidity and inexperience were to blame, but he was just FINE. Not even a bruise. Of course I cried for days that I could have killed him and finally fessed up to my pediatrician because I was afraid there would be long-term damage that I couldn’t see.
My doctor, an old southern gent who’s seen more babies and frightened moms in his career than I could imagine, actually laughed and said it’s quite common for babies to get dropped. God, he said, “made their little bodies to hold up to parental mistakes like getting dropped.”
So when a baby shows up in an emergency room with serious injuries liket his, it’s a big red flag to doctors and nurses that he’s been abused. No one is fooled by the “dropping excuse.”

At three months old, kids are awsome. Both mine were wonderful at this age; learning to roll over, laughing, and crying for their basic needs (feed me, change me, love me, burp me, love me, play with me). All things they will continue to need the rest of their childhood, and at this age it is way easier than what is to come (toddlers into everything, growing children with everchanging questions and needs, teenagers who think they don’t need you but still do, adults who have to make their own mistakes to find their way in the world, and maybe even parents themselves one day who ask for your advise…) How can anyone look into a babies eyes and not want to love and hold and take good care of him or her? This whole case makes me want to weep.

Some people are morons and think if they say something stupid like “Oh I dropped my baby” that they will be believed.
Ihavekidstoo - You brought up a good point. The ped that my son had was the very same women that my husband had when he was a baby. When my son began to walk bumps and bruises were an everyday experience. One night he got sick and I took him to the doctors and the lady taking care of him asked me if I abuse my child. I asked her if she was off her rocker? I explained to her that he has just begun to walk. She kind of gave me this “fuck you lady” look. I had a follow up appoinment the next day and I ask the doc about his bumps and bruises. She informed me that on kids of the walking age there are certain areas that you can expect to see bumps and bruises. The shines, ankels, and forehead are the most common. She also informed me that since the hospital was a teaching hospital the doc in training may not know these signs. It made me feel better to know that my sons boo-boos were in “common” areas.
To this day every time he or my daughter falls I think Oh my god did they break something are they breathing do they need a kiss on a boo-boo?
I also highly doubt that a 3 month old is going to have any common places for bumps and bruises.

You’re right loving_mom, I can’t think of any reasonable bruise that a 3-year-old would have. My son’s first bruise was when he was 7 months and my best friend brought her 16-month-old to visit. He was walking at that point and my son was still crawling. They were playing together and the 16-month-old just dropped his full bottle right on my son’s head. He had a slight bruise on his forehead.
I just can’t imagine what a 3-month-old could do that would make anyone what to hit him. Other than cry, and if the crying is too much for a big, tough man like this guy, then maybe he should just walk out of the room for a while.

What a big man, huh. I just hope he does a lot of time for this. This is unforgiveable.

3 mo old babies shouldn’t have bruises, and for sure they should not have other unexplainable injuries. This is heinous.

I do have to differ with you on the three month old with bruises. My oldest daughter had a 19 and 3/4 inch head, so when I was not able to give birth they did a c-section. During the operation, I realized her head was stuck in the birth canal and they had to work to get her out. Her entire head from top to bottom was bruised from this ordeal. Within the day she was diagnosed with jaundice (mostly becase she was not able to flush out the blood from the bruising). She was in the hospital for over two weeks, but the last of the bruising did not disappear until she was almost four months old. So I did have a three month old with bruises that were not the result of any child abuse (although it was an extreme case and does not happen very often I still got nasty looks everywhere I went).
