I went to high school with the mother and the father is in jail for attempted murder of her father.I have known her for a long time and all she did was let the guy treat her like [censored]. And she didn't change. She married the father before her son was born. this man (who has taken the place of the father) never let this girl out. He controlled her. And she allows it. So I believe the mother is also to blame to lave her child with someone who is unstable.

Another instance of the media putting their twist on things... They didn't mention that David also lovingly stepped in place of the child's father to help take care of this baby. Nor do they mention that David is a warrior for Jesus Christ. This story is so twisted it's unreal. I feel bad for those of you that don't know David; he's one of the best people you will find in Hagerstown, take THAT to the bank. I hope that all will be well with the baby, David, and the mother. Please, do your own research before posting hateful comments. He didn't deserve this - he doesn't have a history of doing things like this, and if you know the story you'd know it was all an accident.

I think appropriate next step is to take batting practice using his [censored] as the balls
