A 29-year-old Lowell man was being held Tuesday night on charges he repeatedly punched his 3-month-old son in the head because the baby was crying while the man was trying to sleep.

And what will happen to him Diana? A slap on the wrist, maybe a few months in prison and then he will be out getting other girls pregnant and doing the same thing all over again.

Good question Sue, all I could find out is that the hospital alerted authorities of possible child abuse when the infant was admitted to the emergency room. The man was arrested but they didn't say what his sentence would be.

How could anyone hit such a defenseless, tiny infant? I can't even comprehend it.

Diana, I think he was ordered held on $10,000 cash bail, but hasn't been trialed yet.

It's just unthinkable, really... Frown

I feel impressed to share the words to this beautiful song One World.

We have no control over the evil minds and actions of others, but if we concentrate our efforts on loving and being loved, then we will have done our part.

I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a loney sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears

I see a boy, who's frightened
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?

So let your hearts be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

I'm just like you
