A psychotic young man was yesterday jailed for three years after subjecting a 10-month-old baby to a shocking series of injuries.
Dispicable Larry Connors, 20, ‘slapped, kicked, punched and threw’ his partners baby around an apartment, ‘like he was a toy’. Ennis Circuit Court heard yesterday how the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken to A&E with injuries including two broken forearms, a dislocated right elbow, a significant brain bleed, a bite mark to his right cheek, a burn mark from an iron to his calf and multiple bruising across his body.
The 19-year-old mother, who also cannot be named, said: “My child wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and shouting. I believe that this is the result of flashbacks of the abuse that he suffered at the hands of Larry Connors.” Connors is not the father.
Judge Carroll Moran, who described the case as ‘fairly shocking’, jailed Connors for three years after he pleaded guilty to the cruelty, dated between 15 December 2010 and 3 January 2011. Had he pleaded not guilty, he would have been sentenced to the maximum seven years.
The woman told the court at the height of the abuse, her then-partner ‘became psychotic and he would lock himself into the room with the child and he would start to scream and roar at the child’.
“It was the most incredible difficult thing to go through as I knew that Larry was hurting the child and I couldn’t do anything about it. Larry Connors abused my child for a three-week period and there was nothing I could do about it,” she said.
Detective Garda David Laing said the baby was brought to A&E at Limerick’s Midwest Regional Hospital on 3 January 2011 with a series of injuries.
He said the mother had earlier heard the child crying in the next room at their home.
Det Gda Laing said: “She thought the child was hungry. She was making his bottle in the kitchen and when she went to him, she saw Larry Connors with the child in his arms and wiping blood from the baby’s mouth. She reported that the child seemed to be going in and out of consciousness.”
Connors told the woman that he thought the baby had fallen. But a report by consultant paediatrician Siobhan Gallagher found that the multiple injuries suffered by the baby were not consistent with a fall.
The baby was taken into care in January of last year for six months and returned to his mother in July 2011. The two now live in the UK.
The mother said her baby ‘is doing fine’. However due to a tear injury in his mouth, he requires speech therapy, and his dislocated elbow needs to be broken later this year to have it reset.
Pain is not a feeling an emotion nor a thought, Pain is weakness leaving your body.
