"Newborn Jane" KUJAWA - 2 Months - Oshkosh WI

An Oshkosh father accused of squeezing his infant daughter so hard he
broke several ribs and slamming her down on a changing table hard
enough to cause a skull fracture is now facing felony abuse charges.Joshua
J. Kujawa, 29, was charged in Winnebago County Circuit Court last week
with three counts of felony physical abuse to a child intentionally
causing bodily harm and one count of second-degree reckless
endangerment. If convicted, he faces 28 years imprisonment and $55,000
in fines.
According
to the criminal complaint, Kujawa was watching his two-month old
daughter in September and began to get frustrated because the infant was
crying a lot and not breathing. Kujawa told police he would squeeze the
infant in an attempt to get her to stop crying.
On
Sept. 15 Kujawa told police he "slammed (her) down onto the wooden
changing table" when he went to change her diaper and later noticed his
daughter's head was swollen and he knew he caused the injury, the
complaint states.
On
at least two occasions, Kujawa took the baby to the doctor for possible
injuries, but he told police he did not tell doctors about him
squeezing the baby.
Medical
reports showed the baby suffered a skull fracture, multiple rib
fractures and a broken leg. During an initial appearance on the charges
Tuesday, Winnebago County Court Commissioner John Kuech ordered Kujawa
be held in the Winnebago County Jail on a $2,000 cash bond and not to
have contact with children under the age of 10. Prosecutors had asked
for a $50,000 cash bond.
Kujawa is due back in court Dec. 27 for a preliminary hearing.
