"Baby John" KLEBER - 7 Weeks - Springfield MO

A Springfield man has been charged with child abuse after authorities
said his child's injuries are consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Steven Kleber, 25, is accused of shaking his 7-week-old child while his wife was out of town.According to court documents, the child began having seizures June 21 upon the mother's return.Kleber
allegedly gave multiple inconsistent stories for why the child's
seizures may have started, including that he had tripped over a cord and
caught the child by its feet.Kleber never directly spoke with police, asking for a lawyer at the time of his arrest.Doctors
in Kansas City originally had diagnosed the child with the seizures,
but later completed CT scans that showed the baby had a skull fracture,
court documents show. According to charging documents, the child had
bleeding present on both sides of the brain.According
to those documents, hospital personnel told the mother that the
injuries were consistent with the baby being shaken and then put on a
hard surface.
