Assuming that's an after photo I don't see anything, and no underlying damage seems to have been found by the hospital.
So although punch makes a good headline I'm not sure you should regard punch as the sort of thing you see outside a nightclub.
I could be wrong but I think it would be sensible not to react quite so strongly to a headline
what? are you serious? why would he even behave like that to a childs doll?t on here it might be worth looking at the photos.A punch from a chap to a delicate babies face is going to leave a lot of tissue damage bruising etc

What? Too late for rational thought - blood's up!I could be wrong but I think it would be sensible not to react quite so strongly to a headline
im sorry, but blood would boil immediately and there will be no room for logic or reason; Just instant brutal retribution in defense of my young that has just been needlessly assaulted.
If he survived, then i'd throw myself on the mercy of the court.

If I was the father and my wife was holding up our 5 day old baby for friends to see who we bumped into in he supermarket - then some bloke came over and "punched" our baby there might be a second or two of WTF looks and then I'd probably be arrested for what I'd do to him. Call me old fashioned.
Ditto if I saw someone do that to another ladies baby who's husband or bloke wasn't present I can assure you I'd be stepping in to assist pretty forcefully.
Punching a 5 day old baby....

Why are you assuming that?You may be correct, but there's nothing to suggest that's the case.
And what does Ockham's razor have to do with the price of fish?

Everyone on this thread is 'assuming' a lot. Occam razor was designed to removing 'assuming'.What's most likely?
a sixty three year old loves to punch babies and then apologise for it. Meanwhile baby is miraculously unharmed after punch.
Or news hound is deliberately exaggerating story of sixty year old you mistook a baby for a doll and did a pretend grab for the doll as a joke.
Neither sounds particularly normal, and neither of us were there. But faced with two unlikely scenarios which would you go for without knowing more information.
In my world I'd lean on my pitchfork and wait rather than brandishing it

of course it isn't a post punch photo
Sorry how do you know that? Baby was checked over and discharged. Think I'd want to admit the child for observation and a CT scan head to look for haemorrhages if it was actually punched and appeared with bruises all over its face.
You may have more knowledge on the subject though.

It was a mistake, a bad attempt to be funny, and luckily no harm done.Twice in recent months I've asked a mum if the baby in the pram is real or one of those dolls. Bizarrely very young babies are so perfect they do look like the dolls some 'odd' people buy, or the ones given to young girls to make them think about getting knocked up.
But I think it says a bit about what sort of person thinks it's okay to 'attempt to be funny' by punching what he believed to be a possession belonging to strangers.
Thank goodness she wasn't hurt.

Could have happened to anyone
Punching a doll isnt a crime last time i checked ffs
It was a real baby FFS.Could have happened to anyone

Am I needing a ducking huge parrot ?
Oh there's a doll I'll just punch it. Yeah I do that all the time because I see grown ups pushing dolls in Prams that often.
Internet hard man time. That man would not have been able to walk out of there.

Indefensible if it was a doll, but massively wrong as it was a baby.
Normal people do not go round punching, slapping, hitting other peoples dolls in supermarkets.
Exactly. Normal people do not go round punching, slapping, hitting other peoples dolls in supermarkets.
Other people's lives - including dolls, that bit's kinda irrelevant - are not there for pricks like that idiot's entertainment.
Jeez, did he miss the lesson in the first week of Reception class at infant school where you learn not to f
k with other people's stuff?Some odd comments. Even if it were a doll / he believed it to be. Why would you do anything like that to a stranger's property?
He didn't think it was though. Should make for an interesting court case.Legally it's quite straight forward.

The reason I ask is if some one grabbed, slapped, punched or made an aggressive gesture at your new born you would in all honesty be devastated.
Knowing that it seems odd a person would do any of the above joke or otherwise thus I am left to assume the person in question is basically a
an deseves a slap himslef to knock some sense into him. The fact the father did not attack him seems to suggest it was more of grab swipe etc than a punch as I suspect most parents would be unable to control the urge to protect there child.situations like this could so easily get out of hand. example your in supermarket with new born some halfwit goes to grab your child as a joke (you dont know this) fearing for your childs life you grab nearest thing to hand an attack said halfwit. Sadly the thing you grab is a bottle of own brand vodka and you kill them....whoes to blame I would say the person who went to grab the child but courts would see it differently I suspect.
Being stupid is not a defense gabbing at a new born child that is not your own is just moronic an deserves punishment (by the law)
