A man “lost control” and broke the arm of a crying baby he was supposed to be looking after. Ra-shawn Oluwatobi, 27, put his hand on the three-month-old boy’s shoulder and deliberately pushed down on him after becoming frustrated with the baby's wailing.
After breaking the boy's arm, Oluwatobi reportedly panicked and placed the crying boy in a sleeping bag in his mum's bedroom at her house. Later that day, he sent a message to the baby's mum - who was not present at the time of the assault - telling her he had "f***ed up" and hurt the baby's arm.
The mum initially could not see anything wrong with her baby, but took him to Alder Hey Children's Hospital the next day after noticing he appeared to be having trouble moving his arm. There a scan revealed he had suffered a spiral fracture to his right upper arm bone.
Oluwatobi, of Laurel Road, Fairfield, was arrested, and later pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm without intent.
At Liverpool crown court today, December 12, prosecutor Matthew Dixon said: "The defendant was at the baby's mother's house, minding the baby. The baby woke up and the defendant gave him a bottle. He started crying and the defendant tried to stop him, but nothing the defendant did seemed to be making any difference.
"After a short while the defendant got annoyed and put the baby down on a chair. He then lost control and put pressure down on the baby's right shoulder, pushing down with one of his hands. The simply caused the baby to cry even more.
"He checked the baby's arm and saw that it was drooping, and panicked and put the baby in a sleeping bag in his mother's bedroom."
Oluwatobi initially made no comment in a police interview, but later "made full and frank admissions to what had had done, and said what he had done was a mistake."
