PROUD PARENTS: IN THE NEWS


This crazy looking guy is Mark James Nelson, and he is exactly that. This disgrace of a human being squeezed his girlfriend’s 6 week old infant child until he heard cracks. Rather than taking the child to the hospital, he acted as if nothing happened. Somehow the mother didn’t notice anything wrong with her child, who was now suffering from internal bleeding with 22 cracked ribs. It wasn’t until the next morning when she picked the child up and it felt “crunchy” that she started to become concerned. Keep reading for the full disgusting news story..

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Washington County Attorney’s Office is charging a South St. Paul man with first-degree assault on a 6-week-old infant in connection with an incident on Aug. 19 that sent the babe to the Hennepin County Medical Center with more than 30 bone fractures.

According to the criminal complaint, 32-year-old Mark James Nelson squeezed the infant’s torso until he heard cracking noises after he became angry with the child’s mother.

Medical personnel at HCMC found that 22 of the child’s 24 ribs were broken and 37 separate fractures were counted, as well as bruising to the liver and lungs and eye trauma.

The child was originally taken to Fairview Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming, Minn., where he was seen for respiratory failure. Initially, doctors believed the boy may have had pneumonia until a chest x-ray revealed the fractured ribs.

Doctors also found the baby had lost a significant amount of blood through internal bleeding and the nearly 10-pound boy required a blood transfusion.

The doctor who reported the suspected abuse to police and a social worker met with the boy’s mother, who said her son looked different when he woke up on Aug. 21, being less smiley and more irritable than usual. She also said that her boyfriend had been staying with her at her Forest Lake apartment since Aug. 18 and had helped her care for the child.

According to the boy’s mother, she became concerned for her son when she picked him up and “he felt crunchy” and had redness in his eyes; however, she said Nelson urged her not to take the boy in to a doctor because his appetite was normal and “he would get better.”

When police interviewed Nelson, he admitted he squeezed the boy until he heard something crack after arguing with the child’s mother about a planned camping trip.

“The fighting between me and [the boy’s mother] came back to me and I got upset again,” Nelson was quoted as saying in the criminal complaint. “That’s when I squeezed [the boy] by mistake. I shouldn’t have done it.”

Nelson told investigators he squeezed the child for two seconds and stopped because he heard something crack, describing the sound as similar to a cracking wrist. He also said he did not tell the child’s mother what he had done.

The criminal complaint states that the child stopped breathing twice on Aug. 21, and Nelson got the boy to breathe again by plugging the child’s nose and breathing air into his mouth twice, but he still did not want to call an ambulance.

Nelson told police he was not afraid and only planned to call 911 if he could not get the boy to breathe again, but he did not tell anyone about what happened because he did not want anyone to know.

If convicted, Nelson faces a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $30,000, or both.

  1. this is absolutely disgusting. Honestly, how did the mother not notice something like that. My child (who is 14 months now) would never have stopped screaming if this was him. FUCKING SHAME.

  3. His ass should go to jail for attempted murder and everything else they charge him with and she should be charged at least with child neglect, how do you not really notice until the next day that your baby had pretty much been almost crushed to death. These are examples of two completely useless human beings.

  4. Tara on November 10th, 2011
  5. This man is a monster. I say we let Gen pop in prison know his crime over the loudspeaker and release him the wolves. Let them give him his punishment. Whatever happens, happens.

  6. Wee on November 10th, 2011
  7. Oh, Markie Jim. What I would give to have 5 minutes alone with you and a baseball bat.

  8. energizer on November 11th, 2011
  9. that poor little baby, srsly they should do to these f**ktards as they do to these poor innoccent children, squeeze the idiots (who looks like a hillbilli inbreed) ribs till his break and crack did then throw him into a cell to suffer

  10. Amy on November 11th, 2011
  11. Hey Energizer, can I borrow the baseball bat after you cause there might be a bit of him you missed

  12. Billy from Australia on November 11th, 2011
  13. I WOULD LIKE TO BREAK THIS FUCKERS RIBS…. PISSES ME OFF TO SEE SHIT LIKE THIS TO NO END

  14. BOBBY on November 11th, 2011
  15. @ Wee, don’t worry about him in jail. Once the news gets out, he’s dead meat. Even the most hardened murderer will go after a child abuser. Look what happened to Jeffrey Dahmer. He’ll probably be kept in “protective custody” – solitary confinement. Karma, as they say, is a b…..

  16. Lady Anne on November 11th, 2011
  17. He (the baby)’felt crunchy’? What is he (the baby)? A taco? Of course he (once more, to clarify, the baby)didn’t ‘feel crunchy’, he was HURT! Any person with sense, would’ve ‘figured it out faster’. Of course if Mr. Robertson was hitting her too, she would have been afraid to call the ambulance. That’s the best excuse she could come upt with? Not: “I shouldn’t have left him at home with my boyfriend”? I’m glad he’s in jail. I hope his torso gets crushed.

  18. Georgia on November 11th, 2011
  19. What a useless piece of human garbage! I’d love to help with that baseball bat idea…

  20. Angie Bobangie on November 11th, 2011
  21. Moms who play house with losers like this are to blame when they fail to protect their child. It makes me angry. How often is it the “mother’s boyfriend” who abuses the children? Grow up, get married, THEN have your kids and be responsible enough to realize it’s not ALL ABOUT YOU! Even a bird is smart enough to make a nest before it lays its eggs – kids need a family… not mom and her shack-up boyfriend!

  22. KIDSthesedays! on November 11th, 2011
  23. This guy should be killed and slowly. I like the baseball bat idea. Maybe do a little thing like at the end of Casino. Now that’s justice but still nothing compared to the pain and suffering he did to that poor baby. What a pussy!

  24. but really tho on November 11th, 2011
  25. Ya how did mom not know her 6wk was hurting. They cry and eat and shit. Unless she did not put him to bed, change him or feed him. Especially if that creeper help the baby breath twoice. She knew.

  26. wow on November 11th, 2011
  27. What a couple of b*stards. Who do I have to call to see about adopting this baby?

  28. Matilda on November 11th, 2011
  29. I’m sitting here next to my nine month old as I read this and if someone tried to hurt him or my other son they better jump off a bridge before I get to them. It will be the slowest, most painful death they could ever experience. Don’t f-ing mess with my kids!!! That mother needs to go straight to jail for letting that idiot near her baby. Who doesn’t check on their baby while they are sleeping. May God heal that poor baby and give him a family that is worthy of him.

  30. pissed off at this idiot on November 11th, 2011
  31. This makes me cry. I think Joe Pesci should put his head in a vice grip and squeeze it until his eye balls pop out

  32. Missy on November 11th, 2011
  33. See what you done! You RUINED her wedding!

    Send them both to the electric chair for all I care.

  34. Scott on November 11th, 2011
  35. Oh my god… I can’t even… I agree with Matilda. Who do I see about adopting this poor child, because his mama needs to go to jail along with her sadistic boyfriend. This poor baby…

  36. Laurski on November 11th, 2011
  37. Well, luckily for the child, youthful bones repair themselves better than older bones. If this animal had done that to an older boy, things would be a lot worse.

  38. Kinseth on November 11th, 2011
  39. Kinseth… Although its true a childs bones repair much quickly… chances are there were too many fractures to heal on their own. He’ll probably require a few surgeries. Plus I’m sure they had to do surgery to repair the lung damage done by the flail chest segments. This is going to sound terrible but that little boy will be lucky to live after all the damage he has

  40. AshleyMarie on November 11th, 2011
  41. Wow these people are really messed up…I think I might just jump right on board with that 5 minute baseball bat idea…they can all get the death penalty for all I care. Hope the poor baby recovers quickly and is put into a home with people who actually care…JS.

  42. VeggieGal62 on November 12th, 2011
  43. @ KIDSthesedays!

    I totally agree with everything you said!

    These “boyfriends” can be a danger to a woman’s children.
    These mothers are airheads who only think about themselves.

    Neither should be anywhere near a child until THEY grow up…if ever.

  44. Tazmom on November 12th, 2011
  45. This was really hard to finish reading, but I had to keep reading to find out if this child lived ( thank god he did). Fucking sick bastards like this are the culprit of so much child abuse and deaths. The mother is just as guilty as this fuck. I don’t understand why these bitches choose to let their children be in danger and for what? So they can hold their pathetic relationships intact?

  46. Chelsea on November 13th, 2011
  47. A bullet through his brain would be the best thing for everyone. NO reason tax payers should pay to keep this waste of breath alive.

  48. William on November 13th, 2011
  49. Anyone see the 2nd Hills Have Eyes movie. I like the baseball bat idea too, BUT the scene where they pulled the man out of the bottom of the Port.a.Potty… He had hundreds of little cuts all over his body and had been sitting in the feces and urine for who knows how long. Bacteria, disease, ect. ect. killing you slowly. Let’s cut his tongue out and sew his lips together while we’re at it. (I’m not a sadistic murderer. I just don’t tolorate child abluse, endangerment ect. ect.)

  50. HillsHaveEyes on November 13th, 2011
  51. Trust me i been to prison he wont come out

  52. josh on November 14th, 2011
  53. After everyone takes turns on this guy, go over and crack some of that mother’s bones. Then leave her there and see how she handles it. There is no way that child didn’t cry when she touched him. What probably happened is the poor baby passed out from the intense pain, so she took it as the baby was just sleeping.

  54. SoCali on November 14th, 2011
  55. That asshole’s forehead is so big I bet I could hit it from 500 yards out with my mini-14

  56. Redneckbiker on November 14th, 2011
  57. This is the problem with this goddamned society. If these DUMBASSES!!! are still allowed to breed, the U.S will continue down the drain as it already is. American people need to step back in and take up public beatings, lynchings, and capital punishment. there is a special place in HELL for guys like this (and the bitch that let it happen by living him home alone). He’s a little bigger then a six week old baby…..i think a garbage compacter would suit the needs of the public for the slow death of this ass.
    that is all…..

  58. KPDofficer on November 14th, 2011
  59. If ANYONE dared to do something like that to any child of mine, they had better PRAY that the police find them before I do, ’nuff said. As for his imprisonment, I say leave him all alone amongst the lifers after they’ve been told what he’s done in every detail, and enjoy every one of his painful screams!!

  60. The Karma Hoser on November 14th, 2011
  61. In the La Paz prison they have no rapists or child abusers. Is this due to some complicated punitive measure in Bolivia? No, it’s much simpler than that. When these inmates are brought into the prison they are taken to a small concrete pool in the court yard and executed by the other prisoners. It’s a catchy idea isn’t it.

  62. Allen on November 14th, 2011
  63. Wtf he needs to suffer in prision then get crushed slowly!!!!!! I hope he rots!!!!

  64. Sarah on November 15th, 2011
  65. hmm all the ideas to do to this man r nice but what id like to do is tie this man up a pole make him as helpless as that child, take a knife down spine and open him up pull his ribs one by one till they brake. that mother f-ing man would die in my hands.

  66. Dylliann on November 15th, 2011
  67. Okay – I’ll admit, I’m no doctor, but when an adult has a single broken rib, just breathing hurts. You just don’t want to. The kid might possibly have not cried in order to lessen the amount of pain.

    That being said – I agree with the posters that say just let him into the prison system – the other prisoners will take care of him.

  68. Lobster Pot Girl on November 17th, 2011
  69. A similar thing happened to a child in my extended family, except it was the actual father who did it. I believe the mom may not have known. The baby in my family didn’t cry and you couldn’t tell there was anything wrong with the baby until he stopped breathing. The mom missed it and so did other relatives. And it wasn’t until he was taken to the hospital the 2nd time for not breathing that the doctors even figured it out, and he had at least as many broken bones as the child in this story. He lived, thank God, but with disabilities that will effect him his entire life. And the sad fact is that the abuser in this story will probably survive prison like the one in my family’s story, and if it is anything like our story, he will only go to jail for a year or two. Not anywhere near justice.

  70. Reality Says on November 19th, 2011
  71. This made me cry for that poor boy, I have a son and I never take my off of him, If anyone did this to my son he would be beaten beyond recognition and left to die in the streets with a sign that says Im a child beater

  72. Brittaney on November 20th, 2011
  73. My eyes off him *

  74. Brittaney on November 20th, 2011
  75. Why do sex offenders have to register themselves and child abusers do not? I call bullshit….I think all sex offenders and child abusers should have to get a tattoo where everyone can see it at all times (forehead maybe). Or first offense is ONLY offense because the FIRST time you are caught doing either it is mandatory life with NO parole.

  76. Melissa on December 1st, 2011
  77. This guy is worthless and doesn’t deserve to live. Trying to crush a child deserves death, and I agree with those who say to announce what he did and let people in prison kill him. Sadly, the stupid, also worthless, government will probably protect him. Secondly, the mother really should’ve noticed. I’ve never had a child of my own, but if something was THAT wrong with my baby brother when he was that age, I’d know. At age nine, because I used to go and sit in his room and watch him to make sure he was still alive. I can only assume that normal mothers do that or are even more paranoid, so this mother should never have another child, either.

  78. MC on December 11th, 2011
  79. @Cheryl I was trying to writing to you through email but I got the “Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently” error. It seems you wrote your email wrong. Can you please contact me?

  80. criminal records on December 16th, 2011
  81. He should get charged with Child endangerment, child abuse, assault, attempted murder, I can thank of any more but he should get charged with any and everything he can be! FUCKING SHAME!!!!

  82. Amanda on December 22nd, 2011
  83. Hope he gets his bones squeezed till they crack in prison

  84. kaisha on December 27th, 2011
  85. I broke ONE rib and remember how agonizing that was…this poor little boy!

    I bet this woman stays with this idiot, too. Even if he goes to jail (and he damn well better!), I bet she “waits” for him on the outside.
    I wish single parents (not just mothers, fathers too) would be more cautious about who they let into their children’s lives. Too much is at risk.

  86. Eldubu on December 29th, 2011
  87. Anyone else notice a theme with these kinds of sad, sad, disgusting stories? Broken family/single parent. Not saying that all single mothers are bad, just saying I’m tired of reading story after story about a mother’s boyfriend killing or severly injurying their baby. Maybe if we stopped treating sex like it was a game of DonkeyKong without the quarter committment, we’d see fewer stories like this.

  88. DuneBuggie on January 27th, 2012
  89. To everyone downtalking the mom here, if she didn’t know her “boyfriend” was capable of that, what if he’s doing the diaper changing? What if he’s the one putting baby down for nap? As long as the kid wasn’t screaming there’s no way for mom to tell until she comes back into physical contact with baby.

  90. notonlyher on July 20th, 2012
  91. Plus, it said they were arguing over a camping trip. What if it was because mom had to work and she said hell no to camping?
    If she went to work and he was left caring for the kid, who knows what happens until mom gets home, gets some sleep from her long shift, and then sees her kid again in the morning.

  92. notonlyher on July 20th, 2012
  93. pressing is in order personalty you do one crime the same happens to
    you basically you brake his ribs you get yours broken

  94. deidara on November 10th, 2012
  95. I know the mom. She is not working at all. Matter of fact, she she is mentally disabled in the head. She cannot legally drive. Doesnt know the kids dad, hook ups with random guys because she wants a “bad boy”. She wants another kid now, a girl. Messed the fuck up. She needs to be forced to have a historectomy. Her parents have custody and she still sees the kid often. He gets out of jail in a year, and does not seemed too concerned, or appear to have much hate toward him, like every other loving parent would. If that was my fricken child, he wouldnt have even made it to jail. I would NEVER EVER, EVER bring a guy around my child unless I knew them good. She had him there to help take care of the baby? You laid down and got pregnant, take care of the damn child like a real parent! God these dumb people putting a bad view on so many things. Seriously people need a psych evaluation before getting pregnant. Smdh
