Coroner: 10-week-old baby's death was homicide; dad to be charged (Boulder, Colorado)

Yet another one of those "clumsy daddy" scenarios. Dad JOANQUIN CAMPOS claims he "fell down the stairs" while holding his 10-week-old son. Never mind that healthy 21-year-old men seldom fall down the stairs unless they're drunk or something. And never mind that it doesn't exactly add to his credibility that he "fought" with the arresting officers. And that Daddy himself had no injuries himself. Funny, that.

Notice again, that while daddy is doing his "caretaking" thing for a baby who is little more than a newborn, there is no mention of a mother anywhere. No doubt another miraculous case where Daddy found the baby in a cabbage patch.

You know what? Volatile young men who fight with the police shouldn't be taking care of babies. They're totally unsuitable for it temperamentally and every other way.

Of course he's free on bond. What else is new....

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

The boy's father, 21-year-old Joaquin Campos, is facing charges of child abuse resulting in the death, harassment and domestic violence.

He is free on $500,000 bond and is scheduled for arraignment on March 18.

Lyon died on Oct. 20 at The Childrens Hospital in Aurora, two days his father called 9-1-1 and told police he fell down the stairs while holding the child. The baby had broken bones, including several ribs and both legs, as well as brain hemorrhaging, authorities said.

Police said the father had no signs of injuries from the fall.

Campos later fought Lafayette police officers when they told him he was under arrest. He is free on $2,000 bond on a charge of resisting arrest, records show.
