25-year-old John McNeal of Pooler, Georgia is currently behind bars in the Chatham County Jail charged with Aggravated Battery and Cruelty to Children. He was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday.
Back on the 21st of May EMTs responded to McNeal’s apartment when his eight-month-old son was reportedly unresponsive. The child was taken to Memorial University Hospital in Savannah where doctors treated him. It became apparent that the baby’s injuries were consistent with being shaken and they contacted the police on June 5th.
According to police the baby wouldn’t stop crying so McNeal lost it and started shaking the infant. Doctors say that the injuries to the child are very substantial and can be permanent. The baby is blind, most likely permanently, because this piece of crap wanted to stop him from crying.
They also say that they found dried blood on the brain which means that this wasn’t the first time he had been abused.
