Using a nigfant as a weapon can cause bodily harm in many ways including
spreading disease. Everyone of them creatures are full of toxins. If only
used on other jig-apes there should be no charges levied...

Infant boy dies from injuries sustained during parents' fight; horrific new
details emerge
By Carol Robinson
An infant boy injured during an argument between his parents earlier this
week has died.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office on Friday identified the boy as
D'Mario Hall. He was 2 months and 24 days old.
The injury happened about 10 a.m. Monday at the family's home in the Mattie
Gill Jackson Gardens public housing community. Police and medics were called
to the apartment after a domestic dispute erupted there, said Fairfield
Police Chief Nick Dyer.
When they arrived on the scene, they found D'Mario unresponsive. He was
rushed to Children's of Alabama where he was declared brain dead Monday
afternoon. He remained on life support until he was officially pronounced
dead at 2:15 p.m. Thursday.
Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said an autopsy will be performed today to
determine the exact cause of death.
D'Mario's mother, 31-year-old Ratunda Smith, is charged with aggravated
child abuse. Authorities said the boy's father was holding the baby when
Smith fought him and caused him to drop the baby onto the concrete floor.
She then picked up D'Mario by his clothing and shook him and swung him,
according to an affidavit in the case.
D'Mario suffered a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain and retinal
damage.
Smith's four other children - two boys and two girls ages 7 and under - were
at the hospital with the family and were taken into protective custody by
Birmingham police. Initially they were placed into the custody of DHR.
The father has not been charged with any crime. Dyer said both parents are
deaf and an interpreter has been used to help with the investigation.
This story will be updated if more information is released today about
D'Mario's death or upgraded charges.
D'Mario is the 13th child countywide under the age of 18 whose death has
been investigation as a homicide this year -six of them age 12 and under -
compared to six for all of 2016.
