Man Charged with Breaking Ribs, Burning Six Month Old Son with Cigarettes!
HOUSTON -- A Houston man went before a judge on Thursday, accused of physically abusing his 6-month-old baby boy.
Trumaine Caston, 24, was charged with injury to a child.
His baby, Trumaine Caston Jr., was treated at Texas Children's Hospital in December 2009, and doctors said they found multiple bruises to his body, multiple cigarette burns to the baby's shoulders, knees and stomach, blunt force trauma to his head and six broken ribs.
Prosecutors said the mother pointed the finger at Caston, saying he played "rough" with the baby.
"The mother stated in the statement that she knew the injuries were there and advised Mr. Caston not to play rough. Caston said he was trying to quote, toughen the child up," said Shreya Gulamali, a Harris County assistant district attorney.
Investigators said the baby, who had been born prematurely, had just been released from the neonatal intensive care unit.
"Mr. Caston would throw the baby in the air and the baby would land in his arms, crying because of the pressure on his chest, which is consistent with the fractured ribs," said Gulamali.
Harris County Child Protective Services placed the baby and two other children in foster care. Officials said the baby is now 1 1/2 years old and starting to talk.
The mother was charged with injury by omission. A warrant is out for her arrest. Caston has not posted bond.
He has a criminal history of drug possession dating back to 2007, officials said.

Dumb ass dudes so worried about their infant sons being soft or gay, they're killing them or bringing them close to death.
Damn when Dave Chappelle said he say a baby on the corner selling weed...it wasn't for real.

How tough can you make a 6 month old premie? Jeezus. My sister's husband threw my niece in the air when she was not even 1 years old--you could see she was scared. I put a swift end to that shit.

Ignorant.. My son is two and i see no need to toughen him up. Just raise your kids right and stop trying to bring them up like gangstas. He probably did that because he use to get his ass whooped all the time
