A 10-month-old Missouri boy continues to recover from critical head and body trauma allegedly suffered at the hands of his mother’s fiance.

A child publicly identified only as “Baby Waylon” was released from the hospital some six weeks after cops say the suspect, 28-year-old Jordan L. Boggess, dropped the boy while tossing him in the air and “bear hugged” him until he stopped crying.

Waylon has suffered lifelong injuries, his father told Springfield NBC affiliate KYTV, and he has to re-learn how to lift up his head and sit up.

“He has basically been reset to a newborn,” Tyler Burbridge said.

The Newton County Sheriff’s Office responded shortly before 8 p.m. Sept. 14 to a home on Spring Street in Newtonia for a baby not breathing. When first responders arrived, they found the boy unconscious, but he was breathing. Paramedics rushed the boy to a hospital in Joplin and then transferred him to a children’s hospital in Kansas City. Once there, nursing staff noticed bruises on the boy’s forehead and ear, a probable cause arrest affidavit said. He was “too critical to do a full body x-ray” but doctors did perform a CT scan which showed two small brain bleeds and collapsed lungs, cops wrote. Staff contacted police.
