Dad arrested after abusing 10-month-old son; baby on life support (Osceola County, Florida)

How the f*** do you "playfully" throw a baby? Are dads like LUIS ANGEL GUZMAN completely delusional? Or just complete idiots? Here's a reality check: if the baby stops breathing as a result of your "play" and in fact ends up on life support, then there was nothing "playful" about your actions. And maybe, just maybe, you might be right. Maybe there was just a little bit of "excessive force" on your part?

The father of a 10-month-old baby boy was arrested on Wednesday on charges of aggravated child abuse.

Osceola County Sheriff's detectives arrested Luis Angel Guzman after this son was taken to a hospital Dec. 1 and put on life support.

The mother of the child told police that her son was gasping for air and then went unresponsive. The infant was transported to Osceola Regional Medical Center, and then later taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital

Doctors confirm the infant had serious injuries including possible brain damage and fractured ribs. He is still on life support.

Guzman denied abusing the infant, but told investigators he playfully threw the infant several times and might have used excessive force, according to deputies.

Guzman was booked into the Osceola County Jail.
