An 8-month-old boy is not expected to survive after his father threw him against a wall because he was losing an 'NBA 2K' game.
Jalin White, 20, is charged with felony child abuse and neglect.
"The Defendant was down 2 points in the fourth quarter of the game and became frustrated while holding JW, ultimately throwing JW against the wall"
Medical reports indicate the child has multiple injuries, including six rib fractures and a healing clavicle fracture, suggesting a pattern of abuse.
"...the Defendant said, 'my son hit his head on the wall. He hit his head hard on the wall, bro. I swear he hit his head hard on the wall' and 'I heard the wall, it was hard on his head. It was hard. It was a loud hard wall,” and “I heard the impact of the wall after I tossed him.'"
Medical experts believe the injuries show signs of repeated abuse.
