A 19-year-old father from Missouri was arrested after his infant was found with bleeding of the brain and other injuries caused by shaken baby syndrome (also called abusive head trauma), according to the NWA online website. The 5-week-old boy was hospitalized Saturday at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield and was reported to be in critical condition after his mother observed that he was experiencing difficulty breathing and took him to Mercy Medical Center.
According to the article, father Zachary Campbell told police that he was stressed from lack of sleep caused by the infant's crying. He reportedly told investigators that he shook his son because the baby was crying.
