Father denies assault as son fights for life (Baby thrown to sidewalk)

MALDEN - Carlos K. Edwards wanted his girlfriend, Crystle Sears, to go to the bank with him Wednesday, but Sears refused.

That was the root of an argument that escalated and then boiled over, Sears said yesterday in an interview at her grandmother’s apartment.

“He just went nuts,’’ she said.

Malden police said that Edwards, 34, threw their son, 7-week-old Carmello Sears, onto the concrete sidewalk outside Sears’s house, said “I hope you both die,’’ and walked away.

Carmello is now undergoing treatment to stop internal bleeding and to mend his fractured skull, his family said.

The baby was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries yesterday morning, a prosecutor said at Edwards’s arraignment in Middlesex District Court, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a child causing serious bodily injury.

"At Mass. General, Carmello was awake yesterday, Nickerson said, and in pain. Tears were in his eyes, but a breathing tube prevented him from crying, she said."

How could anybody do this to a baby, much less one's own child?

Look at the picture. A post partum abortion is no different than a third tri abortion to him.

This fellow doesn’t realize the damage that can be done to a small child when it is thrown on the sidewalk.

My advice is to take him up to 15,000 feet over a desert and push him out of a plane to show him the error of his ways. It isn’t the fall that get’s you, it’s the sudden stop.

Need I remind everyone that all we have is an accusation? I think it’s likely he is guilty. But how about we prove it before breaking out the rope.

“.....we prove it before breaking out the rope.”

Don't you know things have changed? Your guilty “UNTIL” proven innocent. Anyway, this creep of a man will just have to prove how the baby wiggled out of his arms. n/s

More facts from the case:

Mommy's 23. Has two other kids, ages 7 and 4.

She thought the had appeased this monster when she handed him her "electronic benefits" card . . . i.e., her welfare benefit card.

" A man who witnessed the attack quickly alerted a Malden officer working a construction site detail, the police report said. “Officer, you are not going to believe this,’’ he said, according to the report. “But I just saw a guy throw a baby to the ground.’’
