Bryson City, NC–David Lee Simpson is a bad daddy. When his 4-month-old twin sons cried, he got annoyed. Instead of calming and soothing the babies, he brutally beat them, leaving them bruised and broken. When the babies cried, he would squeeze them…he would twist their ears and their little toes. Investigators said the abuse began when the twins were just a month old, that was also the last time the babies had been bathed.
During a routine check-up, doctors noticed both boys were severely bruised. Further examination revealed broken legs, ribs, and toes. One child’s rib was actually pulled away from his rib cage. One of the babies had a skull fracture and the other, a concussion. 28-year-old Simpson told police he beat the babies because ‘they got on his nerves.’ He was frustrated because he was left alone to care for the kids on the weekends. Poor baby…
David’s family was quick to defend (coddle) him. They claim that it just isn’t in their son to hurt another person. David’s father, Cliff Davidson, stated that if his son did have something to do with the abuse, it’s because David never released any emotions over the death of his little brother, “So it’s probably built up all these years. It is like shaking a can of soda. When you shake a can of soda for just so long it is going to explode.†Yeah, that explains everything.
David also has an 8-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Neither him nor his ex has custody of that child, she lives with her grandparents in Missouri. The family said that David couldn’t possibly have injured the twins because he was never violent with his other child. Sooo, why does she not live with either one of her parents?
Others say that DSS should have stepped in a lot sooner. Months ago, Simpson, his wife, and the twins were living in a trailer with Niki Hawksins’ daughter. When Hawksins would visit the trailer, she found it to be an unsafe environment for the children. “The house was trashed. I mean, there was trash everywhere. The smell was unreal when you walked in the house.” It was because of that that several people made calls to DSS and asked them to check up on the babies. DSS did, and did nothing. Had they truly gotten involved and gave those babies a thorough examination, they may not have suffered as long as they did.
The babies are now in the custody of the mother’s parents, which leads me to believe that the mother may eventually face charges as well. She couldn’t have been blind to the abuse and she had to have known that her babies hadn’t been bathed in over three months! David Simpson is now being held in jail facing two counts of felony child abuse…his bond is set at $25,000.
I don’t care what his defenders say, David Simpson is a baby beating asshole. Any person that can twist a babies toes until they break is a waste of space and oxygen.
UnamusedCat is batting this one around in our forums. Thanks UC!
