The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office has charged a father with child abuse and domestic violence. Capt. Steve Arthur says Angel Bravo-Rivello punched his five-month old son in the face last night because the child wouldn't stop crying. "During questioning, he admitted he hit the child in the face and head," says Arthur. "Anyone that would strike an infant needs to be put in jail and we take this type of crime seriously." Bravo-Rivello could face even more charges. Investigators believe he could be in the U-S illegally. "The Border Patrol and ICE have both been notified," says Arthur. "If he's here illegally, the charges will be added and we'll look at deportation once the criminal case is taken care of." Bravo-Rivello is in the Baldwin County Corrections Center on a 10-thousand dollar bond. Sheriff's deputies say the baby will be okay.

Investigators in Baldwin County say a man hit baby because he wouldn't stop crying.

I apologize for my comment, iris. I have went back and read your post and I get the sarcasm now. I agree with you 100% and wish all states would get on board and give us our country back.

Lindie,
My comment dripped sarcasm.  One look at that man tells you he is not a ‘poor starving’ illegal.  I have been working against the onslaught of illegal aliens for over a decade now.  I was on the board of Protect Arizona Now that wound up getting the first laws against this onslaught on the books in Ariz.  Other states have since followed.  Let’s keep that momento going!

well Iris, if all the illegal aliens leave… all the people who are on welfare could, get off their @$$es and get a job. And then, my taxes would go to important things… like fixing the potholes that ruined my car… or a firefighters salary. Rather than alien’s health insurance and people on “welfare”.

Shame on you guys!  You should be sympathetic to this man!  Look at him, a poor starving illegal alien that is just doing jobs Americans won’t do. OK, so he is not TOO starving.  How are we going to keep the justice system employed without these folks?  Think of all the guards who will be laid off. What about the Social workers who will lose their jobs when these poor folks go away?  What about the IRS workers who won’t have anyone to send the tax “refund” checks to people who never paid taxes in the first place?  Think of how sad it will be when the churches have empty pews.  They have already closed down a labor center in Cave Creek Arizona.  Why, it breaks my heart.  http://www.technopatriots.com

I would love an opportunity to meet this idiot in a dark alley.  One thing for sure he would not hit anymore babies.  There is a world full of people that would love to have a baby that they could love and PROTECT and this imbecille abuses his baby because it was crying.  Maybe he should have checked the babies diaper or fed the baby.  Babies cry for a reason.  I hope that this idiot has cried in jail and his sexy cell mate “Bubba”  knocks the !@$% out of him!

hay guys if you deport him he will be back in a week under a different name and we will be giving him free medical and food.put this jerk in prison and mabey someone will take care of him there.

You know, frustration will make us do things that we would never normally do, but striking a baby is pretty harsh. I think he will get what’s coming to him while he’s in jail. I am wondering how it came about that the police were called though?

Report Abuse

i think he should be put in jail….for a long, long time. and, as they do in some mid-eastern nations, we should cut off his hands. he’s a real sicko!

Someone needs to beat this idiot….....
