My son and I both work in the same work place.
There has been a member of our office charged for inflicting severe injuries to his newborn baby.
He is back in the office after some time off on sick leave.
Word has spread around the office about the incident as his partner used to be a member of our team. She has left him, and staying with her mother with their children.
My son is friends with the woman but hasn't been spreading gossip or talking about it at all at work. In fact, our team has been pretty good in just getting on with things and not saying anything more about it.
He came back from sick leave and came and found my son and said to him that he is innocent and it was an accident. My son said he didn't wish to discuss it.
He then made a dramatic scene with tears and said that he was innocent.
I found out later that he went around the office doing this to several people.
We have reported it but not heard anything back yet.
He has been charged but I have no idea what that means in terms of him attending court or going to prison any time soon.
