Man arrested for allegedly hurting son over video game
edwardo christy arrest affidavit
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - A 20–year–old father of two is facing felony child abuse charges. Authorities say he hurt his infant son over a video game.
Edwardo Christy was arrested November 18. Authorities say at first he lied and said the baby fell off the couch. But after failing a lie detector test admitted that he hurt the baby.
Christy told authorities he was playing a video game and when the infant wouldn't stop crying he picked him to take him upstairs and accidentally hit the baby's head on the wall and "knocked him out."
Christy says the baby stopped crying and didn't show signs of life so he threw water on his face.
According to an affidavit, the injuries could result in a moderate to severe brain injury.
The baby is at Children's Hospital.
Christy is being held on a $60,000 bond.

by Asia Location: Decatur, Illinois on Dec 12, 2010 at 09:50 PMEven if Eddie didn't do it aggressivly this still needs attention. If everytime a kid got hurt and people were told to "get a life" then alot of those kids would never get help. This IS the community's business. If I did this to my kid it would matter to me that people step in and care and speak their minds for the sake of a child rather than sweep it under the rug. Thank GOD that little boy is alright but seriously Eddie does need to take some responsibility for this this is still very serious.

Having done the single dad thing when raising my two young daughers, and now helping raise the Grandchildren of my GF I can say I've never done anything that has resulted in a child going to the hospital due to my frustration. Simple thing to understand, he is like any bully. He sure wouldn't have done that to someone able to defend themself.

by Robin Follett Location: Decatur, illinois on Nov 24, 2010 at 06:34 PMFor Eddie's mom, I know the kind of mom you were, and that you always loved and cared for those children (and mine) with all the best love anyone could give. I know you were stressed out a lot with having 3 boys under the age of 3 , but you never hurt them or showed them that you did not have time or EVER laid hands on any of them,actually I was amazed by your patience with them when they were little, man they were bizzy boys!! . I don't thin Eddie was taught to be anything but sweet and loving, and I now him to be that way as well. I ran into him many times and Eddie was a good young man. Whatever happened that day only GOD and Eddie knows, but I trust it was nothing but an accident that may be getting blown out of proportion by the press.And everyone needs support and understanding, the focus for sure should be on the the recovery of the baby and the moving on from the incident. Tammy, my prayers are with you..
