Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh couple is accused of abusing their 4-month old baby.

Yesenia Hernandez Montano, 17, and Carlos Gonzalez Villegas, 23, both of 4612-B Brockton Drive, are charged in the incident.

Montano is accused of severely shaking the boy. Villegas is charged as an accessory after the fact for not seeking medical attention for the baby.

According to the arrest warrant, the abuse caused the child's head to swell, and his eyes to roll back in his head.

The alleged abuse occurred in October, according arrest warrant.

Montano and Villegas are due in court on Friday.

A family member told WRAL News the baby is at Duke Hospital.

We'll see how they fare in prison.. Even convicts have a code of honor and hurting children is tops on the list for punishment there..

They probably will get some prison time, but it will mostly likely not be for life.

I really don't understand how anyone could harm a child, let alone someone who came from their own womb. My son used to cry and probably excessively to some people, but he was helpless. He depends on adults for everything, and to get mad and hit, shake, or punch was out of the question. WOW

it is happening more often these days. dohicky

Yes it is. Too much in fact. I think people having these babies don't quite know how to handle the different responsiblities that go into caring for babies/children. Most don't have the right kind of help from their families. They are alone to deal with it. The sad part is babies having babies.
