Baby Aidan Andrews Dad Sentenced

KENT, Wash. -- An 18-year-old dad who pleaded guilty to killing his own baby son was sentenced to more than ten years in prison on Friday. Baby Aiden was just 10 weeks old when he died from shaken baby syndrome. The baby fell into trouble after his mother left him with his own father, Christopher Temple, while she went to work. Temple later told police that Aiden's fussiness fueled his frustration and anger, and eventually caused him to shake the baby. Temple eventually alerted the baby's mother, Kendra Beach. Work was all normal until about 3:40 when I got your phone call. You told me you thought the baby was dead," Beach said to Temple in court on Friday. Paramedics rushed Aiden to the hospital."I watched for four days as he lay on his quilt, dying in the pediatric intensive care unit," said Wanda Andrews, the baby's great-grandmother. Charged with his son's death, Temple eventually pleaded guilty to second degree murder."I would give anything to have it back. I would give my own life to have him back, anything in this world," he said. "And I just want everyone to know that I did not do this intentionally and I am very sorry."But Rick Garman, the baby's grandfather, said words are not good enough."Nobody, nobody could ever convince me it was a mistake. A mistake is when you forget to take the garbage out, when you forget to turn a light out when you leave a room, not when you kill another human being," he said. Garman said the family will never stop suffering from the trauma of having lost a beloved child. Judge Sharon Armstrong also showed little sympathy towards Temple. "I am very troubled, Mr. Temple, by the fact that you did not immediately make every effort available to you to save the child," she said. The judge sentenced Temple to more than ten years in prison and also ordered him to attend parenting classes since his current girlfriend is pregnant. She also forbid him from having any contact with Beach or anyone in her family for the rest of his life.

And he had a second girlfriend pregnant? People like him should be forcibly neutered or steralized.

Yeah, but noone wants to hear that anymore. It's all about what's right and feels good for them and not what is right for the child they might bring into the world.

It is possible to hit a baby's head hard enough to cause the symptoms, but not by shaking alone. Most of these cases are metabolic disease misdiagnosed as SBS. Vitamin C deficiency, caused by poor maternal diet, smoking, sugar, junkfood, vaccines, infections, antibiotics, antihistamines in formula-fed babies causes all of the symptoms associated with SBS. Inconsolable high-pitched crying, seizures, apnea where they stop breathing. This is disease, not child abuse. Shaking doesn't cause it.

In the few cases where actual rough shaking took place, it nearly always begins with "inconsolable crying". People don't realize this is a symptoms in itself, most often associated with vaccine-induced encephalitis, which along with other vaccine adverse effects can cause the symptoms associated with SBS. Shaking doesn't cause subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhages or diffuse axonal injuries, unless there is an impact to the head equal to dropping from a 2story building, which would leave signs.

Um.....hon? do you know what happens to a baby's brain when its shaken? IT BOUNCES AROUND IN THE SKULL...baby was probably fussy due to being HUNGRY, or he was WET/SOILED; THERE IS NO REASON A PARENT OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD GET ANGRY AT A BABY

10 FREAKING YEARS??!! I swear to god I am so tired with these retarded judges who give a slap on the wrist for a child murderer. We have NO regard for the most helpless and innocent in this country. If he had beaten his girlfriend to death, he would have probably gotten a much stiffer sentence. DISGUSTING.

Like I've stated in the past....IT SHOULD BE MANDATED THAT ALL WOMEN/MEN OR COUPLES BE REQUIRED TO TAKE PARENTING CLASSES BEFORE/DURING THE PREGNANCY SO THAT KNOW WHAT WHAT DO EXPECT, WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO !! You need a license to drive a car, operate a boat, go fishing/hunting, carry a fire arm. A human life is more precious than ANY of those, but yet ANYBODY can have children. I SO DO NOT AGREE.

I choose neither Death nor Jail. They deserve to be tortured, everyday of their life until they die.
