If this wasn't patently true, I wouldn't have believed it.

What kind of upbringing leads a 64 year old man to punch a baby?,

Exactly...that is why i think that the judge got it wrong.

[Tilly2]

I think he was just being stupid and it all went horribly wrong. He must have been horrified when he realised that it was not a doll.

[pastafreak]

Even if he did think it was a doll and it belonged to a little girl, what on earth led him to think that punching that little girls toy was funny.

[ethandron]

Exactly pasta, I don't know any man who would do that, jokingly or not.

[Sqad]

Yes.....yes....I have punched teddy bears in the face.....and dolls.

The question remains, why would a man punch a 5 day old baby in the face?

There is no 'think the judge got it wrong' Sqad he did.

I don't think the man thought it was a baby but if he did (as the judge thinks) then as I sai ... as divebuddy said earlier then he should be in jail.

With respect, some on here today seem to have missed the essential issue here.

I couldn't give a monkeys toss, why this horrible man punched the baby in the face, nor do I think its important in any way if he thought it was a doll, a child, or a bloody cabbage.

If he really thought it was a doll, then he should put away somewhere, where he can't harm anyone. If he knew it was really a baby, then he should be put away anyway. This was serious assault on a defenceless baby, and a fine of a few hundred pounds just isn't good enough.

I think we should try to understand a little less, and condemn a little more.

Am trying to play devil's advocate on this story and am coming up empty.

[-Talbot-]

Well stop that now, sp ... apparently it is not allowed.

[jno]

no, mikey, weird though it may be to punch dolls, nobody should be locked up for it.

There is nothing illegal in punching a doll.....why put him away?

[B00]

hear hear jno.

As odd as it is punching dolls, and it is, it shouldn't come with a sentence as heavy as punching a baby.

This story is completely bizarre!

[Lunol]

"He said the seven-year-old "looked bored" and he had asked her: "Is that your baby?"

"She didn't reply and I said 'I'm going to wake your baby up'," he said.

He claimed he then tapped the child with a "loose fist" to "wind up" the girl."

Just where were these women when a strange man was able to approach a 7 year old girl, spark up a conversation with her before punching the poor little baby?

They can't have been cooing over the baby so must have had their backs turned nattering. This could have been alot worse as he could have walked off with the 7 year old or the baby or worse still stabbed the girl and the baby.

"He was fined £900 and ordered to pay £500 costs and £100 compensation."

^The judge who handed that sick weirdo creep should have jailed that beast for 20 years and given himself 20 years for giving him that joke of a sentence.

[mikey4444]

I haven't suggested that punching dolls is a imprisonable offence, or if I have, then maybe my grammar is at fault.

The chap gave the excuse that he thought it was a doll. The Judge didn't believe him, but still didn't jail him for the offence. In my opinion, he should have done.

Talbot....indeed you did !

[Prudie]

I find this such a bizarre story I don't know what to believe and what side to sit on. I would say however there's a very big difference between "tapped the child with a loose fist" and punching. If it were actual punching then a fine seems a very odd sentence. Come to think of it even if it were the former a fine seems inappropriate.
