Dad accused of hitting 10-month-old son, son's mother in the head (San Antonio, Texas)

Dad JOEL DIAZ is charged with "injury to a child." He is accused of hitting both his 10-month-old son and his mother in the head. No explanation as to why he isn't being charged for assaulting the mother.

Notice the media's usual way to downplaying domestic violence. An assault is charaterized as "an argument turned physical." Right.
