The Buffalo News reports on the imprisonment of a local child abuser...
A Royalton man who abused his baby son over a two-month period last year, inflicting fractures to the child’s shoulders, arms and legs, was sent to state prison Wednesday by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
“Even the most base animal knows you shouldn’t injure a newborn,” Murphy told David W. Stroup Jr., 26, of Rochester Road, before sentencing him to 1 to four years in prison.
Stroup had a history of child abuse, the judge said. Besides the multiple assaults from Sept. 11 to Nov. 22 on Braiden Stroup, now 9 month 1/3 old, Murphy said the father was investigated by Child Protective Services when he was living in Virginia in 2006 for allegedly injuring another baby son, Brandon, who is 4 years old.
