A 9-month-old baby in Kansas City is currently fighting for his life after suffering serious injuries from his mother’s partner. Allegedly, Jordan Boggess – the partner – dropped baby Waylon due to his “sweaty hands” and then proceeded to bear hug him until his crying stopped.
His condition was critical. When he arrived at the hospital, doctors discovered that baby Waylon had suffered from bilateral hematomas to his brain, damage to his spinal cord, and severe retinal hemorrhaging behind his eyes.
Mary Close – on behalf of Bessie, Waylon’s mom – talked about the situation on a GoFundMe campaign. “Jordan has been charged and is in jail!” she said. “They got to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, and that’s when it was notified that this was not an aspiration and choking kind of situation. He had some bruising on his head that alerted them that this was a child abuse case,”

Baby Waylon, reportedly, suffered from seizures when he was admitted to the hospital. Fortunately, the seizures stopped eventually after a medically induced coma, but doctors did predict how baby Waylon’s life was going to be like moving forward.
“They said baby Waylon will not be the same baby,” said Close. “If he makes it, He’ll be wheelchair-bound. He will not be able to talk. He will not be able to feed himself.”
