Dad pleads guilty to assaulting infant daughter (Port Stephens, NSW, Australia)

UNNAMED DAD has pleaded guilty to assaulting his infant daughter. But what's this crap about blaming a "brain snap" for his abusive behavior? This creep twisted the baby's leg and fractured it. Thank goodness this "snappy" daddy no longer has contact with this child.

A Port Stephens man who twisted his baby daughter's limbs during "brain snaps" that eventually led to the girl suffering a fracture in one of her legs will be sentenced tomorrow.

The father, who cannot be identified, faced a sentencing hearing in Newcastle Local Court this afternoon.

He has pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and one count of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.

The court heard that the father no longer has contact with his child.

The child is not expected to suffer any long-term difficulties, a statement of facts said.
