"Shaun Foster, 25, and Elizabeth Fair, 22, face more than a dozen charges.

Police say Foster broke and dislocated his 1-year-old son's arm by pulling on it. The baby boy is still recovering. Foster is charged with assault, reckless endangerment and perjury for reportedly lying to a grand jury about the incident.

Fair is charged with reckless endangerment."

Don't they look like a happy couple. I'm with Marty. I just don't understand how people can treat (especially) their own flesh and blood like that. Thanks Dee.

I don't understand why some people have children! To some extent this boy is lucky as he is still alive and young enough to forget and be adopted by someone who can offer a loving forever home. I live in the UK and can remember seeing a couple get off murdering their 8 month old daughter. They shook her, used her as an ash tray then held her by the legs slamming her head against the wall. They both blamed each other and the law states that only one person can be charged with murder, the other as an accessory and no-one knew which was which, this is the same in the US I think. Change the law so that they both can be charged!

I don't know Cathi..but I sure wish it would stop..Like everyone here who commented..I don't get why laws are not stronger..certainly both should have been charged in that case Gillian..

I really do believe there are some who never should have a child..It breaks my heart knowing so many who cannot have a child and would love nothing more than to have one..
Or so many that have lost a child..myself included..And it makes you wonder why scuzz like this have them and hurt them..It is so disturbing..disgusting..and so very sick..

I am glad this child was not killed..and I hope somewhere there is someone loving..caring who will take good care of this baby..and give this little boy a good life..one that every child deserves..

I agree with Marty...."What the hell is wrong with people?!"

It is a shame that just anyone can reproduce!

Should be no questions asked, death penalty right now. Why waste tax money supporting these losers by keeping them in prison and running up court costs and free lawyers? May sound harsh and judgemental...oh well stories like this enrage me to the core. I will never understand why people must hurt other people, animals.........

I am so fed up with hearing stories like these as I'm sure everyone here is. I have no idea what the solution is, tougher laws/enforcement of the laws? Laws on reproduction, who can/can't? These are desperate times when people will kill/abuse children whether theirs or not and the numbers seem to grow all of the time. They are innocent and can not defend themselves, which is why I assume they are targets by these douche bags to begin with. These are bullys. These 2 may look like hard-asses in their mug shots but their actions scream of being mind-defective bullies and if I ever get to make the rules, I would like to see them and all bottom-feeders that harm children or animals to be tormented and threatened by someone much bigger then them and ultimately suffer the same fate of the true victims!

I must agree with Judy. I have the same opinion as she does. Such people are a bunch of cowards and they only feel strong against the weak and the defenseless.
