Somebody needs to beat him in the head with a toolbox!
Thats to quick and easy. I say smash his hands first so he’ll suffer more and never be able to hold a cell phone or tool box again. And scream at him to stop crying as you hit him in the head lightly so as to not cause a tramatic injury just a severe headache. No pain killers either. Never understood how anyone could think that hitting a baby would do any thing but make the baby cry louder.
His name is Zachary Mohr.
