First... The baby has recovered, and is now in a foster home.

An Alabama couple are in jail after taking their 9-week old baby to the hospital with almost every bone in his little body.

“He sustained 23 extremity fractures, 25 rib fractures, two questionable fractures to the skull,” Nix said. “He even had an injury on his foot. Witnesses say the parents told them it was from a rat.”

Now, I cannot understand what this world is coming to! Why? How? This story just goes to support my ideas that you should have to apply for a license to procreate. How could a parent or parents hurt another human life like this, especially their own flesh and blood? The parents are in jail. I only hope that they are punished to the fullest extent of the law.
