Dad pleads guilty to killing his 6-week-old infant son

A Missouri man pleaded guilty this week to killing his infant son by shoving his fingers down the baby’s throat.

Robert James Burnette, 21, claimed he was trying to stop the child from crying, authorities said. The baby was identified on social media as Jaxon Burnette, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Jaxon died at 9 weeks old in November 2016, after weeks in a hospital, the report said. The infant suffered bleeding of the brain, possible liver contusions, a broken arm and multiple rib fractures, authorities said.

Megan Hendricks, 21, the baby’s mother, allegedly witnessed the abuse in the couple’s Wentzville apartment and didn’t call for help, the paper reported, citing court records.

It's horrific to imagine the acute pain this tiny infant indured during his short time in this world. I'm so sorry little one.
He had no-one to protect him, not even his mom.
Prosecutors are asking 30 years for both parents.

They should give them a thousand years each, so they cannot get out ever!

"A Missouri mother who did nothing to protect her infant from fatal abuse at the hands of her boyfriend has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 22-year-old Megan Hendricks, of Wentzville, was sentenced Friday. She had pleaded guilty in August to a felony count of child abuse resulting in death in the killing of her 9-week-old son."
