AVON — Court documents state that 19-year-old Aaron Evans admitted to abusing his 2-month-old son and confessing that he wanted to “inflict pain back” on the child due to the baby pulling his nose ring and being loud while he had a migraine.
Evans is behind bars and is facing felony charges of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury.
The baby remains in critical condition in the ICU unit at Riley’s Children’s Hospital.
Police began their investigation on Monday after the baby was taken to an Avon hospital for treatment. The baby had several bruises on his body and a cut on top of his head.
After being transferred to Riley Children’s Hospital, doctors informed police the baby had rib fractures, leg fractures, a subdural hemorrhage, and many contusions. Doctors also found signs of subdural hemorrhages that occurred in the past.
According to the court documents, these injuries were determined to be the result of physical abuse.
The child’s mother told police Evans had anger issues and would get frustrated with the baby.
Evans admitted to abusing the 2-month-old baby on several occasions including dropping him into his car seat “harder than he should have” and even intentionally dropping the child from his arms to the floor and punching the baby in the leg.
When asked why he would abuse the child, Evans blamed having a migraine and wanting the baby to be quiet along with being angry at the baby because it pulled his nose ring and wanting to “inflict pain back” on the infant.
