Wisconsin Man Throws Baby Out of Car
Green Bay Press-Gazette, ^ | 9-14-2004

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Police were stunned when a man they were chasing dumped a baby in a car seat out of his vehicle and onto a busy highway.

The dramatic scene was caught on a police cruiser's video.

Officers chased Dana Bettin, 23, from the Oshkosh area after he had taken his girlfriend's baby during a domestic dispute, the Brown County Sheriff's Department said.

With the child of the alleged victim in the car, Bettin rammed a Wisconsin State Patrol cruiser near Appleton and continued north on U.S. 41 into Brown County, police said.

At one point, he slowed and threw the infant, strapped in a child restraint seat, onto the roadway and fled. Other officers stopped and retrieved the child, who was unharmed.

The chase hit speeds up to 100 mph and ended on U.S. 41 after Bettin had a minor collision with a vehicle and then crashed into an unoccupied Brown County squad car. He was pinned underneath the car he was driving after it rolled.

Brown County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Deneys said Bettin died Sunday around 4 p.m.

It would save some money to just leave this crud pinned in the car.

Whew. The baby is fine, and the attempted baby murderer is dead. I like happy endings.

Thank God!

Now, I wonder if the mother of the baby is smart enough to realize that she has to leave this guy far behind her, and stop dating losers.

I feel a little guilty for thinking that this turned out the right way.

Do the same thing to him except drop him from a bridge into traffic.

I hope he didn't hurt anyone else in that accident.

That would make this the perfect happy ending.

Don't feel guilty. Anyone who throws a baby out of a car deserves no sympathy.

Not me. My thought was sometimes God gives immediate justice.
