     At some point, people are verbally or physically abusive in their lives. Though, would you ever hurt your own baby? A five-week-old baby girl was taken to the hospital after being physically abused by her nineteen year old father. The baby suffered with many broken bones and brain injuries, which may bring out the possibility of her being paralyzed. Even if Matthew Wojcik, her father, tried to get out of the situation while pleading being innocent, Los Angeles's Children's Hospital advised the police of the baby's critical condition. Matthew Wojcik was given a life sentence in jail with the bail of one million dollars, which previously was $100,000. Child abuse is a serious problem over the world. Every day and every hour, someone is being abused somewhere in the world. Not only does this affect their physical appearance and their well-being, but also their lives after being abused and when they are older. Matthew Wojcik deserved what he got because he should never have harmed his innocent baby daughter due to his anger. What he received as his punishment is fair for the way he treated his own daughter, who is barely one month old.
