A Wisconsin man is behind bars after police said he repeatedly abused his newborn son.
A Wisconsin MAGA is in custody after police say he repeatedly abused his 27-day-old newborn son, leaving the infant with severe injuries.
Dayne Paulson, 23, has been charged with repeated physical abuse of a child causing great bodily harm.
Authorities said the case came to light on April 25 when hospital staff reported a suspected abuse incident after the baby was brought in with visible injuries.
According to investigators, doctors discovered multiple serious injuries, including several skull fractures, as well as fractures to the baby’s collarbone, leg, nose, and a rib.
The infant was transferred to a pediatric intensive care unit for treatment.
Police say Paulson admitted to harming the child, allegedly stating he became frustrated when the baby would not stop crying.
He is accused of striking and squeezing the infant with significant force.
Paulson appeared in court May 1, where his bond was increased to $200,000.
He remains in custody and is scheduled for additional court appearances later this month.
Doctors say the baby has a chance of recovery, though it is still too early to determine if there will be long-term effects.
