Bradenton, FL–Introducing Matthew Nix’s guide to parenting, now available in paperback! Matthew Nix would like to pass on some parenting tips to those of you that are new to the experience. He will enlighten you with calming techniques, clue you in on the proper way to administer medications to your infant, and let’s not forget his chapter on feeding your baby. Disclaimer: Following Nix’s tips could ultimately land your sorry ass in jail.

Nix’s 3-month-old son, Logan, was admitted to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg late Wednesday with a bleeding skull fracture. Nix initially told denied hurting the child but later admitted to losing his cool and taking it out on the baby.

Around 1:00 a.m. Tuesday evening, Nix had a fussy infant on his hands. Logan had a case of diarrhea, he was crying, and wouldn’t eat. While trying to administer medication to the baby, he jabbed the dropper into the roof of Logan’s mouth, scraping it and causing it to bleed. That’ll cheer a kid up! After that, the infant was crying even harder. In a fit of frustration, Nix elbowed the baby in the stomach and threw him to the floor, where the boy’s head slammed against a metal lamp base. And, would you believe that this isn’t the first time Logan was abused?

Nix admitted to previous abuse, stating that he had violently shook the baby, dropped him, and picked him up by his arms. He said he has held the baby up and pulled his arms apart. Three weeks ago, he was rubbing Logan’s back and heard ‘popping and cracking sounds.’ During his interview with authorities, Nix was provided with a doll and he demonstrated his actions on video.

I bet your wondering, where the hell was that child’s mother? Logan’s mother, Amy Astalos, tells authorities that she is well aware that Nix gets frustrated with the baby on occasion, but she was unaware of his injuries. Suuuuuuure.

Nix and Astalos have reported to authorities that they have taken Logan to several different area hospitals over the past month…seems the boy is losing weight and has stomach problems. So far, it is unclear whether the child had any pre-existing illness or if his stomach condition was a result of abuse. CPS is conducting an investigation and will decide who will have custody of the infant. Logan is now in stable condition.

Matthew Nix was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse. The asshole has already bonded out of jail. Astalos is not facing charges

Check out Amy’s Myspace. She has about 30-some pictures of a newborn Logan. If you check Matthew’s albums, he has a couple of pages of pet pics but not a single picture of baby Logan. What does that say to you?

    I saw the baby’s pictures on her MYSPACE. He is so adorable and sweet. How can anyone hurt such a little angel? It makes me so very sad inside to look at his pictures and to think of the pain and agony this little baby has endured in such a short amount of time. I hope he heals soon.

    *hugs & love for baby Logan*

    I just dont understand how anyone can hurt a baby. I have gotten aggravated with a crying newborn and 0 sleep but it never once crossed my mind to just bounce them off something. Whatever happened to take a deep breath, walk outside for a minute, call a family member or friend if you need to. Plus the baby was sick. I dont even like for my 7 year old to be sick and this is just an infant. I would have cuddled him , gave him his medicine, took him to the doctor. Sorry people like this deserve to have terrible things happen to them. The same terrible things they done to those babies plus some. I also dont understand while there still allowed to produce more children. I hope he meets someone in prision who shares my views.

    Boy,this Mathew fucker thinks he’s one hot potato!
    I want to rip out his nipple rings and shit down his throat.

    I was going to convey that to him but you have to be a “friend” to make comments on his profile…DARN

    IMO “mommy” is just as much to blame as he is.
    There is no way in hell this child having had all those things done to him was not showing outward signs of the abuse.

    They both need to be hog tied,beaten within an inch of their lives and set a flame.
    Useless assholes!

    I hope baby Logan is adopted into a nice caring home.

    Here’s what I don’t understand. Why did this parent (and I use the term loosely) and other loser/abuser-parents even bother taking the child to the hospital? I don’t get it. I have read pretty much everything imaginable done a child by their own parents on this website. For those “parents” that just come short of killing the child, why do they even bother to take the child to the hospital for care? Why not just finish the job and try to lie away what happened? I mean, the last thing many of them want is their child to be healthy and normal because they have done everything they can to injure or cause pain for the child. Why do they make any effort at all to heal the child? Are they scared of being caught? Do they want the child back so they can continue torturing it? I bet if Cindy Anthony could change one day it would be the day she made that 911 call to report her granddaughter missing. I know Casey planned on lying away Caylee as long as she possibly could. She didn’t take Caylee to the hospital when she realized she had hurt her. She just finished her daughter off and then tried to cover it up when she got caught. Why would you punch, stomp, burn, shake, cut a baby repeatedly only to take it the hospital? Am I to believe this asshat had even ounce of compassion for his baby? Maybe there is no explanation for these abusers. I guess I try to understand them and really, that’s not necessary. Evil is evil.

    I’ve said it before and I will say it again. It is a trend we are going to see more and more of. These young male and some female parents can not deal with the stress. They need to be educated when they leave the hospital what to do when they can’t handle the huge responsibility a newborn can be. For God’s sake won’t someone start doing something to protect these little babies from the suffering they must be enduring day in and day out. It makes my blood run cold just knowing it it going on as I am typing this comment. Birth control needs to be given away like free candy. I am totally discusted with these kinds of stories. May he get the punishment he deserves.

    I must have missed his book the last time I was at Barnes & Nobles, although I was not exactly looking in the Horror section for “Parenting By Dummies”.

    I think the mother is definitely covering her own ass as well as his and that baby should never be allowed in the presence of either two of those assholes again. He deserves to go to jail for attempted murder because, to me, it’s the same as beating an unarmed man with a baseball bat. He’s bigger, he’s stronger, and that baby had no way to defend himself. Not even his own POS mother would protect him! Sad!

    Don’t think for a moment that people who abuse their kids don’t love them, or you’ll miss seeing when people whom you know love their children dearly are abusers.

    *shakes head sadly* yeu another abused baby story. How can a mom comfortably leave her baby with just anyone? As I mentioned in a newer post I just had a baby girl and I won’t even go to the bathroom without having the door open with her in her bassinet in plain site! I don’t care who’s in the room with her! I agree that birth control should be given out freely and often. But seeing all these young parents on here… Not all young parents are abusive! It’s POS’s like this that cause many to think that all young parents are abusive. I’m 22 and would NEVER harm my child. I can’t see how others can.

    Anyone ever had a child that got hand, foot and mouth. The baby get ulcers in their mouth and it’s super painful…. Like strep throat. My son had it when he was 3 months old. He squealed in pain when he sucked his bottle, when he spit up. He couldn’t sleep. We had to give him suppositories for pain med because it hurt to swallow. My heart was crushed at every wail of pain my little angle made.

    Point being – How can that BITCH just sit back and let that creepy looking fucker hurt that beutiful baby?? Why isn’t she in jail? Please God don’t let them have Logan back. PLEASE!! He deserves so much more out of life. He already has the misfortune of having the DNA of these two morons. A coward that loves dick more than her own offspring for a mother and a baby beating pussy for a father. How much worse can it get??

    1:00 am? Where was that bitch of a “mother”? Did she honestly SLEEP through Logan’s screaming? Sleep through him being thrown to the floor? BULLSHIT! If she did – she STILL deserves to lose that baby! Maternal instincts my ass!

    And, how would she know Matthew gets “frustrated” with the baby – unless she’s seen him do something he shouldn’t have? Why leave a baby with a man you KNOW gets frustrated with him? Is sleep really THAT much more important? Bitch – I’ve stayed up 2 days straight with my kids when they were sick. Holding them, soothing them, cleaning up their puke and shit, rocking them… whatever it took to make THEM feel better.

    Neither one should have this baby boy. 2 selfish little kids playing house is all they are.

    Heal Logan and go to someone who puts YOUR needs first.

    Thankfully this baby survived, but he probably won’t the next time, if he’s given back to his mother. She endangered her child and admitted it by saying she knew Matthew lost his temper with the baby. Neither deserve this child, God only knows what permanent damage has been caused to this innocent baby.

    Good luck little man, I will pray for you that your life gets better, it certainly hasn’t started out well.

    Well Im proud to announce that im expecting! And boy how being a mother-to-be makes reading these stories even worse then before. Not only do I become mad and upset but now that Im beginning to understand what its like to be a parent i just dont get how you hurt a baby. Makes me sad…..

    I’m with you on this one…I was the one to get up every night with both of my children. Why? Because I never trusted my husband to be awake enough to take care of the babies when they would get up in the middle of the night. Now, don’t get me wrong…he never once abused our children…however I knew he wasn’t a happy person when he would get woken up. So I sacrificed my sleep, just so that I would know that my babies would be properly taken care of. I could have never slept thru them waking up in the middle of the night…even if my husband offered to get up with them…I was still awake to watch what he did with them.

    “Um, let me see, protruding supra-orbital ridges. Small cranium. 1300 cc brain. Hmmm……. Neanderthal Man!” lol

    Seriously, beating up a THREE MONTH OLD???? I can’t even begin to even slightly understand the reasoning behind something as horrible as that.

    And congrats on the new bambino bahaley4e!!

    sorry but some of you are sick, some of the posters on here have some male issues they need major physiological help with, being protective is one thing, but over the top nuts is another

    matt’s myspace status is distraught-why in trouble or because the baby is hurt

    left a message on his video comments-of course on his headline he doesn’t want any contact unless it’s family or friends-

    damn I guess I will be a friend of Logan-asked if he has shaken any babies today

    you know how frustrated he gets and how he relieves his stress- by baby bouncing

    I don’t know that I’d use the word “sick,” but yeah, sometimes I worry that others seem to have substantial unaddressed issues with men in general. I hope that’s what it is in many instances, because it’s inconcievable to me that people choose to have a baby with someone (male or female,) that they can’t trust unequivocally with that baby in all regular day to day situations and basic care needs. Co-parenting is easier, healthier, and better for the children. You need to know that other person has got your back and their children’s as well. If your partner is wrapped well enough upstairs to leave alone with the baby, he or she isn’t wrapped well enough to breed in the first place. Genetics matter.

    I resent that comment. The past 5 generations in my family have been teenage parents. Im young myself and pregnant. We have all done a fine job rasing children. Its not fair to stereotype. Ive done nuthing but read and study since I found out I was pregnant. Ive dont everything in my power to ensure a healthy baby and I will be a grat mother as will my husband a great father Your assumption is wrong. Not all young parents are jouvie delinquents and fuck ups.

    mommy and daddy bailed his ass out of jail for $5,000.00 cash. what a way to throw good cash down the drain. What would is bail be if he killed the poor baby, $5.00 ? Florida really need to have higher bail for offenses like this. Like, just lock him up and throw the key in the everglades. If mommy and daddy then can find the key, then let him out until the trial. After the trial, then throw him and the key back into the everglades.

    Ok I am going to defend Amy and fyi I know both of the parents. Amy truly knew nothing about the abuse. Matt never abused her and she knew nothing about him abusing Logan. And if you look at Matt’s myspace there are pics of Logan now that he got them. I don’t agree with what Matt did. And he has everyone fooled to him being innocent and all that bull shit and I believed him for a while but now I know the absolute truth. He did it, and personally I would love to do the same damage that he did to Logan to him. But don’t go bashing Amy, she is no longer with him. And just a couple hours ago she said that Matt will never get to hold Logan not even with someone there with him. So lay off bashing Amy for something she knew nothing about.

    Can you tell us how Logan is doing now? Is he back with mom? Thanks.

    Logan is doing fine, he was never in life threatening status thank god, and he is in Foster Care. Both Amy and Matt has visitation rights, Amy is not happy about Matt having them. But there is nothing she can do. Amy voluntarily took parenting classes and now the court is making them both take parenting classes even though she has already took them. And she is signed up. He hasn’t even called. Oh and news I just found out about the abuse was Amy was in counseling and they had given her meds that completely knocked her out..and Logan when he was admitted in the hospital only had one barely visible bruise on his back, but in two days while he was at the hospital he ended up having bruises all over. So not even the day care people knew something was wrong, so for the people bashing Amy by not knowing she had no way to know…and there were other people that were with him that day after everything that didn’t know something was wrong. But Amy is spening 3 hours with him today. So to answer your question Lynn Logan is doing good compared to what could happen. I think he is on a feeding tube right now due to something he was born with…he doesn’t eat much and sleeps a lot. So yeah he is good o the concept of what Matt did.
