Dad charged with shaking baby (Omaha, Nebraska)

Same old, same old. UNNAMED DAD gets bent out of shape because the baby is crying (what is it with men and crying babies?), so he shakes the child. No report on the child's condition.

A 23-Omaha man was cited for child abuse after allegedly shaking his three-week-old baby.

According to police reports, officers responded to a call near 137th and Sahler around 6:30 am on September 11th.

The child’s 18-year-old mother told police the baby’s father screamed and cursed at the three-week-old because the baby would not stop crying. The mother told police at one point during the verbal exchange the baby’s father shook the child “violently.”

He was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse.
