And he does so with the head of an infant.

PORTLAND, Tenn. – Snelling was playing video games when his 11-month-old son would not stop crying. Snelling went to the crib the child was in, grabbed him by the face and while yelling “I’ll give you something to cry about” he repeatedly slammed the back of the baby’s head into the bottom of the crib until both the crib and the infant’s skull, cracked open. Not finished, he dropped the baby to the floor, picked him back up and threw him across the room where his head struck a headboard.
The incident started with a 911 call that Snelling made stating that he had a baby in his arms that was unresponsive. Medical responders took the infant to the hospital where it was found that he had two skull fractures and bleeding on the brain. Police went back to Snelling’s residence to question him about the injuries and he admitted to beating the boy.
Along with his arrest for aggravated child abuse, the boy’s mother Jeanie Tate was also arrested and charged with neglect. This stemmed from the fact that there were four other children, ages 3 to 10, hungry and poorly clothed living in the home littered with filth and trash. They told police they hadn’t ate all day. The patrol officers went to McDonald’s and got Happy Meals for everybody. In fact, the reason why the baby was crying to begin with was because he was hungry. The bottle of milk left in his crib had turned rancid.
If the infant, nicknamed Baby Daniel by police, doesn’t survive, his father will be charged with felony murder through aggravated child abuse, police said. Baby Daniel is currently in a coma and his condition is not getting better. The other children are in Department of Children’s Services care.
