Father Punches Infant Son In Face

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.
