Yet another case where the father should have NEVER been granted access to the baby. Not clarified here if the parents were ever married, or just what custody/visitation rights were granted to Daddy after the separation.
Chances are quite high he had a history of domestic violence against the mother, which was neatly ignored in providing him with access to the baby.
Dad is identified as SUNTANA CHANTHAKOUN.

HOLMESVILLE, Ohio - An Ohio man is charged with felony child endangerment after telling authorities he started to suffocate his 8-month-old son because he "couldn't deal" with the boy's likeness to his mother, who lives separately.
A Holmes County sheriff's detective tells The Daily Record in Wooster the man admitted pressing a hand over the infant's face and watching him struggle and pass out. Then he shook the child, who started breathing and survived.
The detective says the baby was taken to a hospital two days later, on May 19, with a bruised face and bloodshot eyes. The man told medical staff the child had fallen from his arms.
Court records list no attorney for 22-year-old defendant Suntana Chanthakoun. He's from Big Prairie, a rural area roughly halfway between Cleveland and Columbus.
