Man Breaks Baby’s Leg After Xbox Session is Interrupted for a Diaper Change

A Florida man is being held without bond on a charge of aggravated child abuse after he allegedly became so enraged about having to stop playing Xbox to change a diaper that he broke a month-old baby's leg.

The baby's grandmother told police that 20-year-old Citrus
County man Paul Lajeunesse often would get upset about
having to change the child's diaper and that she was
concerned about how he handled the baby.

On Dec. 11, she asked Lajeunesse, who doesn't work and
spends most of his time at home, to change the baby's
diaper while he was playing Xbox.

Already frustrated with how his game was going,
Lajeunesse lifted the infant's legs and "heard a pop and
saw the right leg go limp."

After the baby's grandmother brought the infant to the
doctor, X-rays revealed that the baby's leg had been
fractured.

It's unclear what relationship Lajeunesse has with the
victim, but he has been ordered to not have any further
contact with the child.
