On Wednesday, an Evansville, Illinois man was arrested for battery and child neglect after his one-month-old child was found to have multiple fractured bones and bruises. According to a probable cause affidavit issued by Evansville Police Department, Veldon Huck, 21, had brought the baby to the hospital for a suspected fever when doctors discovered the child's injuries and called the police.

Doctors informed police the child had a fractured left humerus, fractures in femurs of both legs, a right foot fracture, and a torn lower frenulum. There were also several bruises on the baby's jaw, forehead, wrist, and back. Huck admitted to police he had forced a pacifier into the baby's mouth, which he believed might be the cause of the frenulum injury.

Huck also disclosed that he had forcefully held down the child's arms and legs in the past. Doctors considered the fractures were a bit older and healing. The man told police he suffers from Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), an impulse-control disorder characterized by unexpected episodes of unprovoked anger. The disorder results in hostility, impulsivity, and repeated aggressive outbursts. Huck said he was not currently on medication for his IED.

Huck was arrested and taken to Vanderburgh County Jail, where he is being held. A judge set his bond yesterday at $200,000 surety or $20,000 cash. He has been ordered by to have no contact with the victim and is due back in court next Tuesday.

On his Facebook profile, Huck states that he works at Lowe's Home Improvement and lives in Newburgh, Indiana, however, it is unclear if he still lives there. In one post, he writes, “Kids need a father, not a f*cking visitor,” while in another, he shares a meme that reads, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but hollow points expand on impact." A hollow-point bullet is an expanding bullet that is used for controlled penetration, where over-penetration could cause collateral damage.”

Under Illinois law, physically abusing a child is considered aggravated battery, a Class X felony that carries a minimum sentence of six years to 30 years in prison. In most cases, child neglect is a misdemeanor, however, a second or subsequent offense after a prior conviction is a Class 3 felony, which carries a possible prison sentence of between 2 to 5 years.
