A newborn baby had his ribs displaced and liver lacerated after his 17-year-old father threw him into the air hitting the ceiling fan.
Caleb Blake Brown was reportedly angry at the baby’s mom, also a 17-year-old, for keeping the child alive.
“Brown and the baby’s mother brought their three-week-old son to the emergency room at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano on August 9, 2021, when the mother noticed the baby had become pale and had significant bruising around his abdomen.”
“The newborn was transferred to Children’s Medical Center of Dallas where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy later revealed that a 24 days autopsy later revealed that at 24 days old, Emerson Ziesmer suffered multiple displaced ribs and a lacerated liver.”
Brown reportedly admitted that “while he was alone with the infant on the afternoon of Aug. 9, he squeezed and repeatedly threw him in the air, eventually hitting the ceiling fan.”
