COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -- A 36-year-old man who was arrested after his son was found wandering outside a Coeur d'Alene bar is charged with injury to a child.

The Coeur d'Alene Press reports Jesse W. Edwards is scheduled to be arraigned on March 5. He is currently free after posting $300 bail.

Edwards was arrested at the Walmart in Hayden on Feb. 10 after his son was found wandering close to traffic. The boy was brought into a bar and employees called police.

The boy didn't know where his father was.

Edwards told an Idaho State Trooper he usually takes his son to his parents' house in Athol and he thought he had done so. Court records say Edwards also acknowledged ingesting methamphetamine within 48 hours of his arrest.

Portland father accused of violently shaking infant son

Reported by: Brent Weisberg

Published: 11:29 am

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 22-year-old father is accused of violently shaking his infant son earlier this month.

Child abuse detectives with Multnomah County said Norman Brown Jr. faces assault charges after they learned he likely shook the child on Feb. 12, when the boy was taken to a local hospital. Portland police said Brown's seven-week-old son is expected to survive, but may suffer permanent partial vision loss.

Officials said the boy's parents called 911 to report their son acting differently. Paramedics responded to the family’s home in the 10300 block of North Allegheny Avenue and transported the child to a hospital. Doctors performed a CT scan which revealed the child had an old and new brain bleed.

Hospital staff told police that the child had extensive retinal hemorrhaging in both eyes. The CT scan also showed signs of a brain bleed from approximately one month earlier, Portland police said.

Detectives were alerted because doctors felt the injuries were consistent with abuse, court documents reveal. A doctor, speaking to detectives, said the injuries were consistent with a baby being shaken or receiving a forcible impact into a soft surface.

Brown admitted to shaking his son, court documents show. The child's mother also admitted to seeing Brown shake the baby in January.

Brown has been charged with first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault and one count of first-degree criminal mischief. He will be arraigned in Multnomah County Court Friday afternoon.

Violent father lands 7-month-old baby in hospital

22 February 2013 /TODAY'S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL

A 7-month-old baby was taken to a hospital after she was beaten by her father during a fight with his wife in the Central Anatolian province of Yozgat on Thursday.

According to news reports, Osman G. and Münevver G., who got married two years ago, started quarreling for an unknown reason. During their fight Osman G. lost his temper and started to beat the baby, which was in his arms, and the baby fainted as a result of the severe slaps. The man also threw the baby to the ground.

After their fight the couple took the baby to the hospital. The baby was placed in an intensive care unit. Münevver G. filed a criminal complaint against her husband at a police station but Osman G. was released shortly thereafter. Münevver G. told reporters that she often suffered from domestic violence at the hands of her husband. “In the second month of our marriage my husband broke my nose. I can't understand why the police released him. I call on the family and social policy minister to help us,” said Münevver G.

Gender-based violence, which is among the serious problems many women face in Turkey, has doubled in four years, according to a parliamentary report released in March. The report, prepared by a sub-commission of the parliamentary Human Rights Commission, revealed that, according to gendarmerie and police statistics, Turkey witnessed 48,264 gender-based incidents of violence in 2008, 62,587 incidents in 2009, a total of 72,257 incidents in 2010 and 80,398 incidents in 2011. Therefore, between 2008 and 2011, Turkey saw a total of 263,506 cases of domestic abuse and violence against women.
