A 23-year-old Tennessee man is in jail after a video recently went viral showing him "violently slamming a small baby's head" against a bed mattress covered with clothing while he was allegedly angry at the baby for crying.
Ricky Storm Casey from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, was arrested on Monday (the 5th) at his place of employment. Hamilton County Sheriff's Office placed Mr. Casey under arrest after a video surfaced of him holding a small baby's head and slamming it into a mattress several times, rapidly. The video from 2021 was extremely hard to watch. No one is certain why the video suddenly resurfaced, however, many people reached out to us to let us know that they had reported the mother and father for suspected child abuse since around that time. One individual that came forward is a mandated reporter. They are concerned with the mother not being charged since it is alleged she is the individual who filmed the violent incident involving her baby. "She should have taken the baby to a doctor at the very least after the situation," they stated.
I cannot share the video here but I will be sharing it on my patreon. The video violates my professional partnership agreement. I could only watch the first two seconds.
A nurse practitioner from the Child Advocacy Center confirmed to investigators that the mother of the child in the video stated that the baby "never went to a medical professional" after the video was recorded. In the video, it does appear Ricky "braces" the baby's head in place while slamming baby "T". The baby was crying during the entire video.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office has stated that they are doing a thorough investigation. The investigation is still active and although the sheriff's department is not certain of the culpability of the mother, charges could be forthcoming.
There have been no confirmed reports that the mother filmed the incident. So far, just individuals that know the couple have come forward and said she is most likely the individual who filmed the incident.
When Ricky was questioned about the incident captured on video he claimed that it only happened that one time, and at that time he was experiencing anger issues.
Ricky is being held on a $300,000 bond for aggravated domestic assault and aggravated child abuse. His next court date is August 14th. We will update this story.
