Dad PAUL RUSSELL DAVIS is charged with child endangerment after he threw his infant son into his crib. The baby suffered a fractured skull, a broken neck, and multiple bruises in the assault. It also appears that Daddy shook the baby "until he went limp" after he threw him.

Well, at least there are no quotes here saying what a "nice guy" this POS is.

Father Accused Of Fracturing Son's Skull

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) ― Child endangerment charges have been filed against the father of a 5-year-old child who suffered skull fractures after the man threw the baby into his crib.

According to a report, Christopher Davis is in serious condition at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines with a fractured skull, broken neck and multiple bruises. Authorities say the injuries aren't life threatening.

According to police, 18-year-old Paul Russell Davis and his wife, 16-year-old Kayla Phipps-Davis, argued at their apartment, after which Phipps-Davis left. The baby was crying as he sat in a swing, allegedly prompting Davis to grab the baby and throw him in the crib. Davis allegedly took the child from the crib and shook him until he went limp.

After Phipps-Davis' return, the parents took the baby to the hospital for treatment. Davis was questioned by police and charged Thursday.
