A Missouri infant is fighting for his life after his mother’s boyfriend allegedly threw him into the air, dropped him on the ground, and bear-hugged him until he stopped crying.
The incident occurred on September 14, when the baby’s mother left him in a baby jumper and went to the bathroom.
Jordan Boggess, 28, admitted to tossing the 9-month-old baby into the air and failing to catch him due to “sweaty hands.”
The man also admitted he bear-hugged the baby to make him stop crying.
The infant suffered a brain bleeding and bruising on his head and had been on a ventilator with no brain activity for several days.
“They said baby Waylon will not be the same baby,” the baby’s grandmother said.
“If he makes it, he’ll be wheelchair-bound. He will not be able to talk. He will not be able to feed himself.”
