Drunken dad tosses 5-year-old daughter into the air--then fails to catch her, causing head injuries (Midland, Michigan)

Dad MILES LUFT apparently threw his 5-year-old daughter into the air--and then dropped her, causing head injuries. But he only dropped her because he'd been drinking. Otherwise, I'm sure he would have caught her just fine. Seems Daddy has a history of felonious assault. I'm soooo surprised. Wonder where the little girl's mom was while Daddy was doing this catch and release thing with a kindergartener.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.
