An Oregon couple claim their baby (pictured) was left with horror injuries at the hands of their babysitter – including a bruise shaped like a hand print – but the authorities are not pursuing the case
And they are also learning that police serve the state, and only the state.

Jacob's father Joshua Marbury took to Facebook to vent about what he believed to be a previous court ruling from stopping his son's alleged abuser from being charged – and posted pictures of Jacob in the bath with extensive bruising on his face. Marbury was referring to a 2012 ruling in the Oregon Court of Appeals which prosecutors say make it harder to file charges in cases of abuse where the victims can't speak, according to OregonLive. In order to convict a child abuser of felony assault or criminal mistreatment, according to the website, prosecutors have to prove the victim suffered a 'physical injury' and suffered 'substantial pain'. This is difficult to prove if victims are unable to explain their suffering, according to an an earlier article on the ruling.
How absolutely disgusting. Was this law put in place just to protect baby abusers? I cannot think of one legitimate sane reason to have this rule on the books. For shame.

Yea, don't leave your child with someone who can't even take care of themselves. Just look at the guy, he's a mess.

Shit, even if someone can't take care of themselves well they should still have enough of a brain to know "You don't hit little kids."
Have they considered hiring someone with even the most minute amount of empathy and determination to do well/follow basic instructions even if they're incompetent? Incompetence alone doesn't make giant hand-sized bruises on the faces of babies.
