Searched and didn't find this story already here...
The perpetrators (I won't call them parents) are Tony and Jody Simpson—that's them just above. And of course they were living in squalor (pics at the link below) and of course the father has previous convictions for assault and possessing heroin. Not to mention the 22 years of age he's got on his bride. While the sentence is far from adequate, at least the judicial system found adoptive parents for the baby and gave him a new identity. The jury took less than an hour to find to find Tony and Jody guilty.
They really should deprive people like this of the means of reproduction, no child should ever have to suffer at their hands again...
The court heard the horrific fractures to both the youngster's thighbones and lower legs, right ankle, left thumb and two bones in a big toe were revealed by subsequent x-rays.
Experts later concluded they would have been caused by yanking, pulling and twisting, with considerable force and up to 10 days before he was finally taken to his doctor.
The dislocated fracture to the youngster's right lower leg and ankle may have even been inflicted by a swinging action.
He was in so much pain from this one injury alone that he showed signs of distress even when sedated in hospital.
Sadly, the septicaemia was so severe that Tony, who has since been adopted and given a new identity, has been left with life-changing injuries.
As well as having had both legs amputated, his hip joints are so damaged by infection that they may not be able to even bear the weight of prosthetic limbs.
