Dad jailed for beating infant
By MARIA CALABRESE, SUN MEDIA
NORTH BAY -- Grandparents are bracing for a lifetime of care for a boy who was severely beaten by his father during his first months of life, court heard yesterday.
Kristopher David Etches, 29, sat motionless in the prisoner's box yesterday as he was sentenced to five years in a federal penitentiary for meting out a "vicious assault" on his newborn son.
"This is one of the more troubling cases I've ever had to deal with," Superior Court Justice Paul Rivard said.
By the time the baby was six months old, he had been beaten repeatedly, says a medical report by an expert in child physical abuse at the Hospital for Sick Children.
The baby suffered multiple fractures to his skull, collarbone, jaw, ribs, arms and legs, hemorrhaging on both sides of the head and torn tissue in the mouth.
Now two years old, he's in the care of his grandparents. His development is behind for a boy of his age and he has a permanent arm injury. His grandparents told court they took over care of the youngster not knowing what his future is. Both parents were arrested in June 2006 after the baby was taken to hospital with a broken arm. Doctors found he had dozens of fractures all over his body.
His mother, Lea Donaldson, 33, still faces charges.
