Authorities in Wisconsin said that an 8-month-old boy is not expected to survive after his frustrated father threw him into a wall following a video game loss.
The incident occurred last week while Jalin White, 20, watched the baby and played NBA 2K as the baby’s mother worked.
“The Defendant was down two points in the fourth quarter of the game and became frustrated while holding JW, ultimately throwing JW against the wall,” a criminal complaint revealed.
White did not immediately confess to the crime, providing detectives with multiple inconsistent stories and even accusing the baby’s mom of causing the baby’s severe injuries.
Doctors said the infant suffered six fractured ribs, a fractured skull, and a significant brain injury. They said he was not expected to survive.
While is preliminarily charged with child abuse and child neglect. If the baby dies, his charges would be upgraded to homicide.
