Jordan Cattell, a 25-year-old man from Handsworth, was recently sentenced to 14 years in prison for a shocking and despicable act. In 2018, he launched a horrific attack on a 10-month-old baby boy who was left with permanent brain damage as a result. The little boy, who survived the ordeal, now requires full-time care for the rest of his life due to his disabilities.
The attack took place in Walsall, West Midlands, where the baby was lying in his cot. Cattell caused multiple skull fractures and haemorrhaging to the innocent child, causing severe and lasting injuries. When questioned by police, he tried to cover up his abuse by creating a false story, claiming that the baby had simply fallen over. However, his lies were uncovered and he was found guilty by a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The judge sentenced Cattell to 14 years in prison, recognizing the severity of his crime and the impact it had on the victim's life. The baby, who was once a small and innocent child, will now have to live with lifelong disabilities due to the sustained injuries inflicted by Cattell. Detective Constable Lucy Simpson, from West Midlands Police, expressed her sadness and outrage at the case, stating that it took years of hard work to bring Cattell to justice and she was relieved that he would be behind bars for a significant amount of time.
This is not the first time a young and defenseless child has been the victim of a tragic and senseless attack. Just last month, a seven-month-old baby girl was fatally attacked by the family pet in her own home. And in another heartbreaking case, a nursery nurse was jailed in May for killing a baby by strapping her to a bean bag. These heinous acts serve as a reminder to cherish and protect our children, and to hold those who harm them accountable for their actions.
