Tyler Coggins wasn't ready to raise children. He's unemployed, lived with his parents and had been arrested in December on theft charges.

Coggins, 19, was arrested again Wednesday - charged this time with killing his 4-week-old son.

"This was a young man who was not experienced in taking care of kids. It was children raising children," said Cincinnati Police Detective Gary Conner. "It's one of those things that is very regrettable."

Emergency workers went to the 1300 block of Avon Drive Tuesday to check on a baby who wasn't breathing. When they got there, they found the child, Terrell Coggins, dead.

"We thought it was going to be a crib death," Conner said.

But the Hamilton County Coroner's Office determined the child died from a skull fracture.

"He was struck," Conner said. "They told us it was not consistent with a baby who had been dropped."

Coggins' parents were not available for comment.http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090129/NEWS0107/901290341

I say bullshit- experience or no experience, you don't break a baby. And I wouldn't say 19 year old is a child either, he's been man enough to get his lady pregnant. Different story if we were talking about a 12 year old. So I don't want to hear all the lame excuses for killing a baby - there are none.

Sigh. And I so wished this week would start differently. Sleep tight, little one.

A young father convicted of beating his 4-week-old son to death was sent to prison Tuesday for 15 years to life.

That was the sentence imposed on Tyler Coggins Sr. by Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge John “Skip” West.

Coggins was convicted last month by West, who heard the trial without a jury, of murder and felonious assault.

Coggins testified in the trial that he hit his son – Terrell Coggins – but didn’t intend to kill the infant.

“I popped the baby in the head. I was stressing," Coggins told Nadia Alexander, a girlfriend, in a taped call. "It was like a smack. I didn't punch him or no (thing) like that. I was stressing ... I made a mistake and I admit it."

The child’s head was fractured in two places. A coroner testified the child had four separate areas of bleeding on the brain, which couldn’t be caused by a single strike, and couldn’t have happened in a fall.

Coggins was 19 and didn’t want the second child he had with Alexander. Their two children were born 11 months apart.

Coggins, 20, of Paddock Hills, asked Alexander to abort the second child or put him in foster care. She refused. He was convicted of killing the baby weeks later.

After that, Coggins told her, “Now we can be a family,” she testified. From jail, he asked her how long she would wait for him.

Oh, of course not! Everyone knows that hitting a baby in the head (or anywhere else) is perfectly safe. Oh, and I very familiar with stress, but not once when stressed to the max have I been even tempted to hit my kids, a pet or any living thing.
Disgusting, cowardly, mean, shitty waste of air.

If I hear of one more baby abuser/killer who uses an excuse like "I just snapped", or "I didn't know he was hurt bad" or any other asshole excuse I think I may explode. Shithead Supreme.
