Dad arrested after 1-month-old son suffers broken femur (Indianapolis, Indiana)

Not much detail here. I wonder if dad JOSEPH WEBB was babysitting as the mother worked. Wouldn't surprise me. It's a social crime that American mothers aren't entitled to mandatory maternity leave in order to take care of their newborns. This is the sad result.
