The mother of a 6-month-old
baby is in jail, charged in his murder. Avery Bacon was taken to the hospital Monday
with severe head injuries. He died Tuesday night.
Amanda Bacon faced a
judge Wednesday, accused of throwing the infant in a fit of rage.
The 25-year-old is in
the Lucas County Jail one $1 million bond.
Now Avery's father is speaking
out about the son he lost.
"I'll never be the
same man I was before," says Jeremy Glynn.
It's every parent's
worst nightmare, but for Glynn it's a reality. His 6-month-old son Avery died Tuesday
night after police say his mother threw him, fracturing his skull.
"It's horrible,"
Glynn says. "And it's just one thing that we can ask as many questions as we
want to, but we'll never fully understand it."
Bacon faced a judge Wednesday.
Visibly shaken, she stood next to her attorney as prosecutors upgraded her
charges to murder.
Authorities have not
released what may have caused her to snap.
"If I had any
inkling he was in danger, he wouldn't have been there," says Glynn.
Glynn describes his
young son as a happy baby, always smiling. He says he'll always remember his
lively personality.
"One day he was
going to be something great, I knew it. He was going to do something really big
in life," Glynn says. "He had all the tools God gave him, the tools to do
it.
Now Glynn says he's
trying to get through the holidays without his little boy. Through the tears
and heartache, he finds comfort knowing Avery will live on. His family chose
organ donation for the child.
"The most beautiful
thing I thought of is it's right around the holidays, so Avery is giving a
remarkable gift," says Glynn.
Because police are
continuing to investigate, Avery's family has not been able to make funeral
arrangements.
Glynn says he's not sure
how he'll be able to pay for the funeral and burial, but friends and family
members are in the process of organizing some fundraisers to help.
