"Infant John" ALAMRI - 9 Months (2010) - Stamford CT

STAMFORD -- The parents of a 9-month-old boy suffering from severe head injuries were charged Thursday with abusing the infant.
Aisha, 26, and Wadham Alamri, 24, of 990 Hope St., were each charged
with first-degree assault and risk of injury to a child.

They were
taken into custody around 7:30 Thursday morning when police officers
came to their home carrying arrest and search warrants, said police Lt.
James Matheny.
He was bleeding internally behind the eyes and had signs of old and
new internal bleeding around his brain, Matheny said. The soft spot on
top of the baby's head was also damaged. The injuries were so severe
the baby was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital, Matheny said.
Matheny said the injuries were consistent with accidents, physical
trauma, or shaken-baby syndrome. While at Yale-New Haven, a trauma team
concluded that the baby would be injured again if he returned home,
Matheny said. The infant is still a patient in the intensive care unit
at Yale-New Haven.
Officers interviewed the married couple Jan. 4. Matheny said they
gave officers an inconsistent account of events that led up to their
son's injuries. He said the physical layout of their home did not match
their account.
As a result, the state Department of Children and Families
took custody of the child. Police showed up at the couple's Hope Street
home Thursday morning and arrested them. The Alamris are being held in
Stamford on a $150,000 bond each.

STAMFORD -- A former city couple facing felony assault charges after
their 9-month-old son was diagnosed with serious injuries consistent
with shaken-baby syndrome last year was admitted into a diversionary
court program on Friday that would drop the offenses from their records.
Aisha Alamri, 27, and Wadham Alamri, 25, now of Greenwich, were
admitted to the accelerated rehabilitation program Friday at state Superior Court
in Stamford and must serve 18 months probation, after which the state
would wipe their records clean of first-degree assault and risk of
injury to a child charges, both felonies. They also must cooperate with
the state Department of Children and Families and comply with a parenting plan.

Formerly of Hope Street, the Alamris were arrested last January after
Stamford police officers came to their home with arrest and search
warrants. In an incident in December 2009, the baby was bleeding
internally behind the eyes and had signs of old and new internal
bleeding around his brain, police said. The soft spot on top of its head
was also damaged. The injuries were so severe the baby was taken to
Yale-New Haven Hospital.

The injuries were consistent with accidents, physical trauma or
shaken-baby syndrome. While at Yale-New Haven, a trauma team concluded
the baby would be injured again if he returned home.

Officers interviewed the married couple in January 2010. They gave
officers an inconsistent account of events leading to their son's
injuries. Police said the physical layout of their home did not match
their account.

As a result, the DCF took custody of the child.

Disgusting. No incentive for parents to stop this cruelty to their children.

this is ridiculous!! that child wont make it!!!

OMG....they should never remove child abuse from their record. Why would they do that? If they severely harmed an adult and were charged, would that be removed from their record. Children are helpless and these people need to stay on a list and be watched. They shouldn't have any more children as they proved they can't handle it. All babies cry and you have to have the patience to deal with it. Obviously they don't and all the classes in the world won't change their attitude.
