Santa Ana Father Accused Of Severely Beating 13-Day Old Baby
A Santa Ana father accused of beating his 13-day old baby has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse on Monday. Jonathan Reyes allegedly severely beat his son, which resulted to a skull fracture and internal injuries.
KTLA reports:
Jonathan Reyes was arrested after the boy’s mother awoke to find the child badly beaten and brought him to an emergency room, the Santa Ana Police Department said in a news release.
Along with a skull fracture and internal injuries, the baby suffered multiple visible injuries to his face and body, and tested positive for methamphetamine.
Reyes is the child’s biological father, and admitted that he used methamphetamine while he was supposed to be taking care of the child while the mother was asleep, police said. Reyes denied abusing the child.
Police said Reyes was out on bail for a robbery that took place in March. He was arrested and booked at the Orange County jail on suspicion of child abuse, as well as committing a crime while out on bail.
The sweet baby is currently in critical condition. Let’s pray that he make a full recovery and justice is served.
