27-year-old William Dyce from Kansas City, Missouri has been arrested after he slammed his three-month-old baby’s head on the arm of the couch in order to make the child stop crying. Hell, I could have told him that doesn’t work. Try duct tape next time dude.
Dyce initially called 911 to report that the child had fallen off the couch and hurt his head. He was taken to the hospital and after doctors examined the baby they determined that the severe head trauma and broken rib he was suffering couldn’t have happened the way that Dyce claimed it did.
When investigators confronted Dyce with the new information he changed his story and admitted to the abuse, telling police that after his three-month-old son wouldn’t stop crying he picked the baby up by the arms and slammed his head on the arm of the couch. Nobody else was home at the time the baby was injured.
Dyce is currently being held on $250,000 bond and lodged in the Jackson County Jail. He has been charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child and Assault. The child is recovering and I don’t have any more information as to how he is doing.
