The responding officer spoke with Michael Ormond, 39, who then allegedly admitted he had thoughts about hurting the baby, per the complaint. He allegedly told police he would squeeze the baby’s legs, arms, neck and face and would pinch his toes, saying he was upset with the baby’s crying, the complaint states.
The complaint alleges that Ormond also admitted to spanking the baby three times the morning of the day the child was taken to the hospital.
“I just gave three whacks, I don’t know why,” Ormond allegedly said, according to the complaint.
Ormond, the complaint alleges, told police that he has anger issues and that the infant’s crying triggers him, before mentioning the “runner’s high.”
The complaint goes on to allege that Ormond said he only had issues with the children between 0 and 9 months.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Green Bay, Fox affiliate WLUK-TV, a nurse noted the child had bruising on the left side of his face near his upper jawbone and below his left ear.
“His left arm had bruises from the inside of his armpit all the way up to his wrist. On his right calf, there were red marks that the nurses also believed to be bruises,” the affidavit states. “Inside his left thigh, coming down to the inside of his knee were three bruises. The left hip, extending all the way across his buttocks, was completely blue and yellow from bruising, and that extended past the small of [the victim’s] back.”

In an interview with Ormond, police said he admitted that he had been thinking about — and acting on — thoughts of physically harming his son since the day he and his wife brought the boy home from the NICU.

Ormond also allegedly told police that he similarly abused his two daughters when they were infants, but reportedly claimed that he “only has issues with them being 0-9 months,” police said.
