A 20-month-old infant is fighting for life after he was apparently beaten by his father for vomiting, a Sydney court has been told. The child’s chances of survival are said to be “questionable”. Police say they will consider adding to charges already laid against the father pending the result of brain injury tests today.

This is the bit that attracted my attention in particular. The father allegedly assaulted the child in the house he shares with his wife, his girlfriend and two other children, one aged three and another six months, in Blacktown, in Sydney’s west yesterday.

That just has bogan written all over it. Living with wife and girlfriend!!! Whats the odds also that his kids are by different mothers (quite possibly neither of the wife or girlfriend?)

I’d hate to think what would have happened to the kid if he’s shat on dad …if he beats the child to death (not quite right now, but probably will die) for chucking up, he’d no doubt think acceptable discipline for shitting on him is both barrels of a 12 gauge.
