Baby Aidan Andrews Dad Sentenced

KENT, Wash. -- An 18-year-old dad who pleaded guilty to killing his own baby son was sentenced to more than ten years in prison on Friday.
Baby Aiden was just 10 weeks old when he died from shaken baby syndrome. The baby fell into trouble after his mother left him with his own father, Christopher Temple, while she went to work.
Temple later told police that Aiden's fussiness fueled his frustration and anger, and eventually caused him to shake the baby. Temple eventually alerted the baby's mother, Kendra Beach.
Work was all normal until about 3:40 when I got your phone call. You told me you thought the baby was dead," Beach said to Temple in court on Friday.

Paramedics rushed Aiden to the hospital.

"I watched for four days as he lay on his quilt, dying in the pediatric intensive care unit," said Wanda Andrews, the baby's great-grandmother.

Charged with his son's death, Temple eventually pleaded guilty to second degree murder.

"I would give anything to have it back. I would give my own life to have him back, anything in this world," he said. "And I just want everyone to know that I did not do this intentionally and I am very sorry."

But Rick Garman, the baby's grandfather, said words are not good enough.

"Nobody, nobody could ever convince me it was a mistake. A mistake is when you forget to take the garbage out, when you forget to turn a light out when you leave a room, not when you kill another human being," he said.

Garman said the family will never stop suffering from the trauma of having lost a beloved child.

Judge Sharon Armstrong also showed little sympathy towards Temple.

"I am very troubled, Mr. Temple, by the fact that you did not immediately make every effort available to you to save the child," she said.

The judge sentenced Temple to more than ten years in prison and also ordered him to attend parenting classes since his current girlfriend is pregnant. She also forbid him from having any contact with Beach or anyone in her family for the rest of his life.

10 years?!!! Good God! What a fucked system. You can shake your baby to death and walk away a free man, or woman, a short time later. DISGUSTING!

@Seemiization Muslims do not get treated like that for murder. Really only the women get treated like that. They kill their teenage daughters with axes, etc, even here in the United States. I don't think its the same. I'm not sure how I feel about punishment for SBS. It is SOOO tragic, and horrifying that this happens. But it is hard for me to judge because i've never been in that situation, especially as an 18 year old. I think you never realize the damage until its done. I'm sure he regrets it

He should be locked up for the rest of his life

Our laws for murder, accidental or intentional should be reviewed and revised. This young adult should spend the rest of his life in prison. Our laws are just too lenient on murderers. No murder should go unpunished. His child will never see 10 years, his mother will not stop grieving for her son, even after 10 years. What is 10 years to this man??? He will only be 28 or younger when he gets to walk the streets again. STINKS!!!

[Seemiization]

They need to change their law system!!!!! They criticize muslims n Islam.. atleast they either hang or slice their head off for murder... How can the west take child abuse so easy???? These bastards who kill innocent ,helpless children..their own flesh and blood should be punished with death penalties..no exceptions...

[liveloveplayohlala]

10 years!? what the heck!? really??? he should get more

[JojoplusBo]

OMG is that all?

10 YEARS...is that judge fu**king serious?.....what an INSULT to the life of this precious baby that was taken way too soon. No wonder I don't have faith in 'mankind' let alone the 'scales of justice' anymore!! Excuse me, I'm now going to go throw up in disgust!

RIP sweet baby Aidan....may God keep you safe from this miserable world of ours!

string him up to a centrifuge, turn it on, and walk away. Let him feel what he put his son through. Or tie him up to a practice dummy and have football players ruse him for practice. Anyone who hurts a child beyond reasonable limits needs to be equally punished.
