How about a charge of attempted murder. You bounce a babies head off of the wall andva faucet and beat the hell or her you can reasonably expect the child would die. Lets put them away long enough to be well past child bearing years when they see freedom again
I absolutely concur………
They need to be put away for along time, anyone that would do that to a anyone let alone a child needs to suffer in every way possible
