Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father…

posted by on January 25 at 9:10 AM

A Bothell man accused of critically injuring his 6-week-old baby was charged Thursday with first-degree assault of a child.

James Robert Stephen, 23, told police he jerked the baby boy around on several occasions and “may have been too rough,” according to court documents…. Stephens already had been reported to Child Protective Services on other occasions for abusing another of his young children, King County prosecutors said.
