Dad jailed for punching 2-year-old son (Milton, Florida)

JEREMY ALEXANDER DAVIDSON is another one of those nitwit fathers who somehow figured that punching a 2-year-old would stop him from crying. Was there a mother in this home? Notice that once again, any mention of a mother has been erased from the story, and all we have is reference to an unspecified "family member." Or are mothers just "family members" these days?

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

MILTON, Fla. -- A father in northwest Florida is being held in jail on a child abuse charge after police say he punched his 2-year-old son in the back.

Santa Rosa County deputies say 21-year-old Jeremy Alexander Davidson tried to stop his son from crying Friday morning when he punched him in the back. Davidson was charged with felony child abuse and domestic violence.

Jail records show he was being held Saturday in the county jail on $201,000 bond. It wasn't immediately known if he has an attorney.

A family member noticed bruising on the child's back and called police. Authorities say Davidson later admitted to punching the child.

A sheriff's office report says deputies noticed bruising along the child's spine. The child also had a bloody nose and a swollen lip.
