ORIGINAL STORY
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Police say a Pike County man severely beat his live-in girlfriend's 20-month-old son so badly, that the baby had a broken leg and his entire head was black from the bruising.
Kentucky State Police say 26-year-old Justin Robinson is charged with abuse.
Troopers believe this was not the first time Robinson abused the child and say there is no clear motive for the alleged beating.
Troopers say when they went to arrest him, they had to taze him just to take him to jail. Robinson made bond and is now on home incarceration.
He is due in court on Thursday.

if u ask me it sounds to me like he's a real jerk anyone who can assult a 1 year old just shy of being two needs mental help anger managment and a long time behind bars......i have a 4 yr old and a one year old....my kids get bumps and bruises they are kids it happeneds but not to this severity you can defend your family all u want but u will eventually face the truth in your own hearts so if u wanna stand behing a child beater or wait a baby beater go a head but grand jury will convicted him.....take it to trail whatever i just hope and pray justice is served for the baby noone deserves to be beaten......coming from someone who has a abuseive past from my mother....how do u think taht li l boy felt put yourself in his shoe.....
I happen to know and love Justin very much, as a matter of fact, he's a member of my family. Before anyone can judge, they should really think about the source of their information.I also believe without a doubt in my mind, with 100% certainty that he DID NOT hurt this child nor does he even have the potential to hurt a child. All of these stories are ALLEGATIONS and he has not been convicted of these crimes. People should consider both sides of a story before getting personal and sticking their nose in someone else's business. Our family loves and supports Justin with all of our hearts and we all KNOW THAT HE IS INNOCENT, and we are praying for him.
how can u people take a side u dont no that he done it u dont no him like i do he wouldnt hurt a child the kid fell ALOT i no i have seen him fall myself u all ant a judge or jury the child head was not black he had some bruises on his chick it is blowed plum out of proporsin how would u fell if u was n he shoes and u didnt have a thing to do with it should u go to jail
