i read this on my home town newspaper so i went to there webaite and look what this guy to a baby

The father of a greater Bluffton toddler has been charged with neglect after the boy was abandoned for about six hours March 1 in a second-story apartment, a Beaufort County sheriff's report states.

A neighbor discovered the year-old boy playing with a bottle of painkillers on the apartment's balcony and putting some of the pills into his mouth, the report states.

The neighbor said he couldn't find either the child's father or mother.

When investigators searched the dirty apartment, they found a large dog, a cigarette butt on the floor and a child's basketball hoop fastened to an open electrical breaker in the hallway, according to the report.

The boy had another pill bottle in his mouth when investigators saw him.

Henry James Hall, 26, was arrested and charged with one count each of unlawful neglect and theft of cable. He was released from the Beaufort County jail Tuesday after posting a $11,087 bond, the jail's online log states.

His 1-year-old son is in protective custody at the Department of Social Services, which is looking for a foster home for the boy.

According to the report, a baby sitter was watching the child at the apartment at The Estates at Westbury, 100 Kensington Blvd., on the night of Feb. 28 while his unmarried parents were at a local bar. The mother worked there and Hall was there drinking, the reports states.

Hall returned later that night to relieve the baby sitter. He told the Sheriff's Office he was highly intoxicated, according to the report. He also told deputies that he uses drugs.

When she got home from work, the mother and Hall began to argue. The Sheriff's Office was called to address the dispute.

The mother told investigators she and Hall argued again after deputies left and that Hall wouldn't let her leave with the boy, so she left him with Hall and went to a friend's home.

Hall told investigators he informed the mother he was walking to the store to get cigarettes and that he went to his other girlfriend's home, where he spent the night, according to the report.

The report states Hall had taken some painkillers before he left and that he forget to put them away. Nail clippers also were within reach of the child.

Deputies estimate the boy was left alone from 1 to 7 a.m. March 1.

Hall is scheduled to appear in court April 27. The child's mother was not charged.

Well thats disturbing

You must read the paper alot!!!!

i only read the obitury and the murder stuff

i dont read.


who am i kidding i read all the time.


but just books and stuff. literally i can read a whole chapter book in a day

That is awful!! People like that shouldnt be parents. Why would the mom not take the baby. She shouldnt have left the baby with the dad cause you should be taking care of a baby when you drunk. He just leaves the baby in the house and goes to his other girlfriends house. wow what a great father!!


Yeah i read a lot to.

I think that the mother should be charged too.

Well the parents are retards, and the baby is gonna be pissed when he finds out. When he's older though.

yeah same here.
but thats terrible! i feel so sorry for the baby.

Bad parents.

YOU SICK FUCK!

Meh at least the parent didnt sell him or leave him in a dumpster.

Why isn't the mother charged?? :S

Jeeze.

WOAH !!!!!!! ..
thats .... sad :|

"a child's basketball hoop fastened to an open electrical breaker in the hallway"

lol

Somehow this stands out as the most atrocious detail of the story.
I'm sure the kid will be fine.
It's better than all the fucking morons who leave their kids in the car while they shop for 6 hours in WalMart only to find their child deep-fried in the back seat.

I SECOND THAT !!

Argh. Parents should be responsible enough not to do things like this!

They should've just traded him for a car like that other, much smarter Mom.

well thats the only thing that keeps me interested

They should've huh.

if you people ever need good news just say something on my profile

poor kid
he got VERY lucky
bad parenting, but it couldve been much worse

What's sad is that I'm not even shocked at this shit anymore. Parents are parents, but they're people, so naturally there are those people who irresponsibly have children and go on to abuse and neglect them. Raising a child is probably an ineffably hard task, so idiots are obviously not going to do a good job. In fact, they're probably going to throw their newborn out of the window or they're going to club their boyfriend with it. It's in the papers all the time.

Negligent alcoholics with kids are an example as to why abortion should be completely legal.

That's why I wasn't so shocked by it. It was bad, but I expected it to be something far worse. Sadly things like that happen everyday.

how retarded can people get, seriously.

until i was 6, my mom wouldnt leave my side when i was outside.

wow,
i think the mom should've get sued. :/

who would evere do such a sick thing like neglect a 1 year old child!!!
thats just wrong in my opinion

Poor baby D:

poor baby

oh those bad parents.
