The mother of a 4-month-old boy, 20-year-old Jessica Mario Lujan, severely beat, scratched and even threw the baby in the time leading up to the infant's death.

Lujan and the boy's father, 21-year-old Jose Ramirez, are both facing child abuse homicide charges.

Lujan was seen being escorted by police from the Motel 6 with another child in her arms.

Lujan admitted to striking the infant during an argument with Ramirez because "the child was screaming and she became angry. She admitted to striking him several times and scratching him with her fingernails. She then states that she placed the child into his car seat, upside down." Lujan then told police she went to sleep because "she was tired," leaving the child in the care of Ramirez.

Ramirez told police he witnessed Lujan "throw the infant into the car seat upside down," when he began to care for the child while the child's mother went to sleep.

Oh sweet Lord, another innocent child. Please just shoot these two and be done with it. I'm sorry I just am having such a hard time with all of these young innocents being killed by their parents!

So as per the previous news link, the child needed to be on oxygen. So these things were ok with witnessing abuse to this baby, put upside down in the car seat and then just went to sleep? This poor baby would be in so much pain. Like why? I don't understand how ok this is in their eyes. Poor precious baby

"The deceased child had several visible external injuries," the probable cause statements against Lujan and Ramirez state. "The child has bruising on the bridge of his nose going up to his forehead. The child has bruising on the left ocular cavity, bruising on the left forehead going towards the back of the left ear, and bruising on his left cheek bone. The child also has an abrasion or possible laceration on the left side of the child's neck. The child's bone structure is visible on the outside of his person."

BBM likely means that in addition to all the torturous beatings, the child was being starved to death too. Seriously, just be done with these two.

Because beating a baby will soothe it and make it stop crying.

This is just horrific.
May justice be swift and severe.
