A young girl is now permanently blind in one eye and has limited mobility in one leg as a result of being shaken at only 28 days old by her father in Colorado, according to The Greely Tribune online. Thursday, July 9, Christopther Dahl pled guilty to third-degree child abuse and was sentenced by a Weld District Court judge to spend six years in a community corrections facility. Following the August 2008 incident of shaken baby syndrome, which resulted in serious injury to the infant, Dahl failed to seek immediate medical care for his daughter Nichole. Although his estranged wife and her father requested that the judge send Dahl to prison for the maximum time he could serve, Dahl's previously clean record, an apology for his violent behavior, and his recent participation in anger management counseling and child bonding classes were presented to the judge and resulted in the sentence to a community corrections facility rather than prison.

ATTENTION: Parents/Guardians of a child who has been blinded by Shaken Baby Syndrome. We are looking for a 7-10 year old child who is blind as a result of Shaken Baby Syndrome and who is in need of and is unable to afford a fully trained guide dog. The youth if chosen will serve as our spokesperson/actor for a tax exempt organization. We also would like a sibling that is 2-5 years older than the spokesperson to be part of our Christian Ministry Charity Program. As part of the program with the spokesperson/actor and the sibling to promote our charity we will ensure that if the campaign is successful the selected spokesperson/actor will be the first to receive a trained guide dog. Our goal is to select a candidate and sibling by January 2014. We invite a brief narrative and pictures directly from parents/guardians or anyone who may know of a child who meets the above criteria.
