Babysitter dad arrested for assaulting 3-month-old son; had only been caring for baby 1 1/2 hours (Alice, Texas)

A too common scenario. The mom is forced to work and be responsible, while the (useless) father is drafted to babysit. This freak couldn't manage for 1 1/2 hours before he severely abused the baby.

Dad is identified as MARK GUERRA.

ALICE, TX - Jim Wells County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating a case of injury to a child, after a 3-month-old baby boy was taken to the hospital Thursday morning, unresponsive and in critical condition.

The baby's mother, 19-year-old Catina Perez, says she when she left for work, at 4:30am, the baby was fine. Perez says the baby's father, Mark Guerra, called her around 6am and said there was something wrong with the child.

She rushed home and says she found the infant white, cold and unresponsive. The baby was taken to Spohn Memorial in Alice, but police say they expect him to be transferred to Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi.

Police say they are investigating this as a case of child abuse and have arrested the child's father.
