Another outrage in Upper Darby

Mike Chitwood has another candidate for his infamous list of “scumbags” who are giving Upper Darby a bad name.

Township police are investigating the “savage beating” of a 3-month-old boy. The tot is now in Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, in critical condition with severe head trauma, bleeding on the brain and three broken ribs.

Chitwood doesn’t mince words when it comes to his investigations. You get the feeling he’d love to get his hands on whoever is responsible for putting this defenseless baby in this condition.

That’s where he’s having a bit of a problem. Police were alerted to the situation by a baby sitter who worked for the family in the 3700 block of Taylor Road.

Chitwood says the baby sitter has been cooperating and has even passed a polygraph test.

The same can’t be said for the baby’s parents. Chitwood indicated they have retained lawyers and are not cooperating with authorities.

No one has been charged in the case, and Chitwood was not labeling the parents as suspects.

But a 3-month-old baby is in the hospital with horrific injuries. The child did not get in that condition on his own.

Chtiwood has a favorite term for people who commit such acts. It would certainly seem to fit for whoever is responsible for inflicting such harm on a defenseless baby.
