That's sad... I can't understand how you could do that to a baby.
There was an interesting discussion on the radio about cases like this. If someone commits a crime like this (assuming he gets put away), once he's released he'll be free to go/do wherever he wants and potentially mistreat another child in the same way.
Yet if someone else commits the exact same crime, but with a sexual element, he'd have to be listed on the sex offenders register and be tracked for X years, even though both people probably pose the same amount of danger. It's a strange, very hyprocritical situation.
