Alleged child abuse in Lawrence leaves baby blind, likely wheelchair-bound
Emmanuel Quadros

A Lawrence father is facing child abuse charges after allegedly beating his newbo child blind.

Emmanuel Quadros, 32, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Wednesday.

Police say the injuries to the 3-week-old baby boy are so severe that the child is now blind and will likely be wheelchair-bound.

Police say Quadros originally blamed his wife for the baby's injuries, but later confessed to dropping the child on the ground.

The incident remains under investigation.
