Man Throws Baby Into Traffic
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 07/11/2010 | Harry Harris and Sean Maher

A 21-year-old man was arrested Saturday after he threw his daughter into oncoming traffic and then attacked witnesses and police who were trying to subdue him, authorities said.

The 18-month-old girl was not badly injured. The wheels of an oncoming Volkswagen Jetta did not touch her, but she was burned and scraped by the car's undercarriage, police said.

The suspect, John Taylor, was stunned with a Taser and suffered minor injuries. Police did not release the girl's name but said she lives with her mother in an East Bay city. She was visiting her father Saturday, and they had been at a friend's house. Police were still unsure Sunday afternoon why Taylor acted as he did. The incident began about 5:30 p.m. Saturday when an off-duty police officer saw Taylor pick up and shake the girl on Fifth Avenue near East 15th Street, then toss her into a traffic lane, investigators said. She then was hit by the Jetta, and the officer gave chase to Taylor after a neighbor came to the car and pulled her out. That neighbor was Diana Castro, who said the elderly couple in the Jetta was confused about what was happening, but stopped the car. Castro heard the commotion from inside her home, ran to the car and pulled her out from under. "The baby was completely under it. It was scary because if the lady driving it accelerated at all she could run it over," Castro said. "When I took the baby, it continued crying and I thought, Advertisement

that's a good sign. She's still breathing in. She was so scared, she was grabbing my neck and couldn't stop crying. I was asking people, 'Whose baby is this?' and nobody knew."

Perhaps being thrown in with the rest of the prisoners would be even worse.

That's too bad. Better luck next time. May Mr. Taylor and I have about a 5 minute 'chat'? We'll fix that 'minor' situation.

That poor little child. I just spent a few days with my darling grandson, who is 19 months old. How can anyone harm a baby?

I am willing to bet that drugs were involved and that the parents are not married. Chances are the child will not be better off even with dad put away because the mother is a tramp and not too motherly.

I would have taken the baby if he did not want her. He did not need to do that.

so sad.
