Dad gets 7 years in prison for severely abusing 32-day-old baby (Warren County, Kentucky)

Dad JOSEPH RAMIREZ gets 7 years in prison for severely abusing his 32-day-old child. So I guess in 7 years, he can do this to another child. The baby faces a lifetime of disabilities related to the skull fracture and subdural hemorrhage that Daddy gave him.

Father Sentenced To 7 Years For Abusing Infant
Last Update: 7/28 12:46 pm

Joseph Ramirez, who severely abused his 32-day-old child in June, was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison.

Last month, Ramirez' child was brought to the Atrium Medical Center in Warren County with a skull fracture, subdural brain hemorrhage, edema and significant bruising. The Warren County Prosecutor's Office said it is unlikely that the child ever will fully recover.

Ramirez was convicted of one count of felonious assault and one count of child endangering.

Warren County Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel asked the Court last month to give Ramirez the maximum sentence (eight years in prison).

"We are pleased that Ramirez will be unable to harm any children for the next seven years," Hutzel said today.
