Dad charged with battering 2-month-old son (Reno, Nevada)

Once again, we have a daddy who "allegedly" beat up (and sexually abused?!?) a 2-month-old baby. This time the daddy is DONNIE DUGAN. Notice that Mom has lost custody though she is not charged. Despite all this, Daddy's bail is only $3500. Outrageous.

The father of a two-month-old is charged with child abuse after officers say the baby was brought to the hospital with a broken femur and head injury.

According to Reno police 28-year-old Donnie Dogan is charged with child abuse Monday after he and the mother brought the two-month-old baby to a local hospital last week with a broken femur and head injuries.

Detectives assigned to the Sex Crimes Child Abuse Unit were called into the hospital treating the infant along with RPD and upon further investigation determined that the two-month-old had allegedly been battered by his father.

Dogan is charged with Child Abuse Causing Substantial Bodily Harm and booked into the Washoe County Jail. His bail was set at $3500.

Authorities say the young victim was treated over the weekend and is now in the custody of the Washoe County Child Protective Services.
