Father severely beats 2-month-old baby
Global Montreal: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 12:45 PM

Police are calling it one of worst cases of child abuse ever seen in the Monteregie region of Quebec.

A two-month-old baby boy suffered a skull fracture and two broken legs last week in Valleyfield.

The suspect in the case; his 22-year-old father.

The dad pleaded guilty this past Friday at the Valleyfield Courthouse.

Sentencing is scheduled for late August.

"I can't believe it, I'm in shock," a family friend told Global's Domenic Fazioli Tuesday morning.

The accused, who can't be named in order protect the child's identity, was charged with aggravated assault and two other counts, recently in court.

Police provided few details on the case except to say young parents should get the help they need during tense times.

"There are services out there just for that, don't be shy", said Sgt. Genevieve Bruneau of the Surete du Quebec.

The baby was recently released from hospital but there are fears he may suffer long-term effects.

"In cases like this, you just don't know. The baby suffered major problems," Bruneau said.
