Dad KANE BURTON has been accused of battering his 10-week-old son, causing over 13 fractures. It appears that some injuries were older than others, suggesting that this sh** has basically abused this poor infant from birth. Even though this is basically a newborn, there isn't one word about this baby's mother. Did Daddy find him in a cabbage patch? Mmm, don't think so. So how did Daddy have so much sustained contact with this baby? Who knows. Who made that decision isn't specified. Research consistently shows that adolescent fathers are in the highest risk group there is for serious child abuse like this. So whoever made that decision made a stupid decision.
INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

IPSWICH: A teenage father today stands accused of inflicting the injuries which caused his ten-week-old son to sustain more than a dozen fractured bones.
Kane Burton, of Station Street, Ipswich, has been charged with grievous bodily harm after a five-month investigation by detectives from Suffolk Police’s child abuse team.
The 18-year-old is due to appear before South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court in Ipswich on Tuesday. The hearing is scheduled to commit the case to Ipswich Crown Court.
The charge Burton is facing relates to an alleged incident on May 1.
It is understood the baby boy was taken to the walk-in
medical centre, the Riverside Clinic in Landseer Road, before being referred to Ipswich Hospital.
The child is said to have sustained a fracture to a rib on his left-hand side and another fracture to his right femur – the thigh bone.
It is also alleged there was evidence of 11 other previous fractures, believed to be to the boy’s rib area.
Burton, who was aged 17 at the time of the alleged offence, was arrested on May 5 and taken to Ipswich police station for questioning.
He was charged last Saturday.
Burton also faces a further accusation of failing to surrender to custody.
This allegation relates to a police bail date on October 6.
Burton’s first appearance on the charges took place earlier this week at South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court.
He is currently remanded in custody.
When the second hearing of his case comes to court next week Burton is due to appear via a video link.
