Area asshole punches his wife for breastfeeding in front of a male doctor

[Blue_Tires]

Police in New Mexico are looking for a man who, they say, punched his wife after she started breastfeeding their newborn in front of a male doctor. Rafael Orozco became angry when his wife, who had given birth earlier that day, started breastfeeding their baby girl, exposing herself to a doctor who had walked in to check on her and the infant, according to a police report.

Orozco, 22, punched his wife in the mouth as she was carrying the baby in her arms, the report said. He also slapped the infant on the head before hospital staff confronted him. Iesha Hartt told police that her husband is a very jealous man, according to the report. He called her names after she began breastfeeding their daughter and grabbed her by the throat, leaving scratches on her shoulder area, the report said.

Orozco ran out of the hospital’s labor and delivery room after being confronted by hospital staff. When a security guard caught and restrained him, Orozco reached to his side and told the guard that he had a gun. He was let go, and he fled the hospital, the report said.

The hospital was placed on lockdown overnight amid the search for Orozco, according to media reports. Police also checked Orozco’s home and the residence of Hartt’s mother, but he is yet to be found.

Damn, lady... You might want to contact a divorce attorney ASAFP before you end up dead...

1. Sounds like mother and child didn't go with him.

That guy best run far, far away.

[Helen Borg]

27. But the kiddo has lots of his genes...

Cannot run away from those.

[muntrv]

2. Don't stand by this man, Iesha!

[Warpy]

3. He's a charmer with a long rap sheet

and witnesses said he also hit the newborn baby.

If she goes back to that lowlife, she'll lose the kid.

AFAIK, he still hasn't been caught.

[Blue_Tires]

5. Well, the story also said there is already an

outstanding warrant for stolen goods, so pulling some shit like this when the cops are already looking for him means he's erratic, violent AND dumb...

[Warpy]

9. And that places him firmly in the local demographic

for repeat felons, just add a little alcohol to the mix.

[ripcord]

34. This is all something I can't deal with

One time I saw a guy punch a woman in the mouth, I beat him so badly I wound up getting 6 months in county.

[Warpy]

35. Last time I saw it

I gave her my name and number and a year later I was a witness at her divorce.

Next time, just damage him badly enough that she can get away. Maybe you'll escape a stretch in the pokey.

[anoNY42]

4. Wonder how he felt

about the doctor who delivered her baby. He or she saw EVERYTHING...

[Laffy Kat]

6. This is the type of abuser who will show up again long enough

To kill both mother and baby. They need to find him fast and throw away the key. Hopefully, he will resist arrest and they can be done with him once and for all.

[Blue_Tires]

8. If nothing else, she needs to change the locks

and get a protection order...

The last thing she needs to do is cover for him and take him back -- I have a weird feeling this isn't exactly his first time doing this sort of thing

11. The most dangerous point in an abusive relationship is when you try to leave.

It's no surprise that pretty much all recent male mass killers had a history of domestic abuse, and that while men are more likely to die by homicide, women who do get killed are almost 6 times more likely to be killed by an intimate partner (nearly 42% for women, to 7% for men.) In other words, 2 out of every 5 women killed are killed by their husbands, boyfriends, or exes. Only 1 out of 5 is killed by strangers, and 2 out of 5 by someone they know.

So, I hope they find this guy, and throw the book at him. Luckily they have witnesses of him hitting the baby, which will more likely get him a longer sentence than hitting his wife.

14. +100

7. Ha, so stupid. Man (and wife) I tutor English to are devout muslims. She breastfeeds in front of us.

They and their family are Syrian refugees and I tutor in their home. She wears full coverage all the time, head to toe, scarf wrapped around head exposing only the face and hands. He sometimes takes a five minute break, unrolls a prayer mat and does the full prostrations with lots of allahu akbars.

Several times I am tutoring him and she is sitting in as she does occasionally. I look away from him or the tablet and see that she is breastfeeding their latest daughter. It all happens very discreetly, as good as unnoticeable.

[HockeyMom]

10. Any male OB's?

Should childbirth only be by Female Ob/Midwives? Let's put it this way. A male OB is is gong to be right there during labor guiding your newborn through your vagina and uterus. I had a breach birth and this male doctor put his hands totally inside of me to cradle my daughter's head coming out last.

With all this, a male doctor cannot see a baby nursing at a Breast? Insane.

[Sgent]

15. It almost is

almost all OB residency slots are filled with women (90%). Male OB's are mostly going into sub specialties now (cancer, etc.).

[Blue_Tires]

20. My father was OB/GYN...

[Ilsa]

33. I've heard stories of men that were so jealous

that they claimed the male doctor wouldn't be able to resist his wife's hoo-ha while he delivered their baby. The man kept trying to pull the doctor away. Security took the idiot out.

Gawd almighty, watching a crotch swell as a baby 's head frequently tears the vagina has to be one of the least sexy things on the planet. Blood, sometimes meconium, sometimes mom's shit, everywhere.

[LeftyMom]

12. Weird thread. A lot of telling her what to do.

Not a lot of focus on the guy who hit his newborn baby and the mother of his child.

[PersonNumber503602]

18. I'm guessing that's because he is a lost cause and telling someone like him

to stop being a weird and abusive asshole would be futile. Whereas the woman is hopefully able to see that she really needs to get out of there, because a guy like that is a ticking time bomb.

[LanternWaste]

24. I'm guessing that both the husband and the wife are completely unaware of anything we write

I'm guessing that both the husband and the wife are completely unaware of anything we write on DU, so being a lost cause is fundamentally irrelevant.

[PersonNumber503602]

26. Valid point.

But I'm not sure anyone thinks the actual people involved would read our conversations, but rather discussing it in a more general sense.

[Blue_Tires]

21. What is there to say to the dude other than

"Enjoy the county lockup, and feel free to get a psychiatric evaluation while there so you might finally understand why it's wrong to beat your wife?"

I'm not an expert in these situations, but I think it's clear that the wellbeing of the wife and baby are in danger as long as the dude is at large, wouldn't you say?

[irisblue]

22. what BlueTires said.

W/O major major psych help, that father is likely a lost cause.

[Duppers]

30. Her very life is at risk, not to mention the baby's.

His is not. Why is everyone concerned for the mother? She's the victim whose needs for protection are urgent.

Are you concerned for Trump, the abuser?

The old psych adage of wanting to change is true. Most misogynists do not feel they are the problem. Jails are full of such people.

[sheshe2]

13. I hope they lock him up and toss the key.

[PersonNumber503602]

16. How does someone get jealous and upset over that?

Out of a morbid curiosity, I'd like to get inside this guy's head to see what kind of thought processes he has.

[rustysgurl]

23. He 'Owns' Her ...

and therefore her breasts are only for him. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he was jealous about the baby nursing.

[PersonNumber503602]

25. That's such an incomprehensible mindset

[Duppers]

32. Many years ago I took a birthing class

with another expectant mother who declared that she would never nurse her baby! Why? Her breasts were sexually and belonged (only) to her husband!!! I swear she said that. I was speechless I was so shocked.

I unfriended a FB friend years ago who expressed the same disdain for breastfeeding and breastfeeding mothers! F'n hell!!

[Skittles]

29. she is HIS POSSESSION

another man not allowed to look at HIS POSSESSION

[Calista241]

17. Even if she declines to press charges, the hospital staff can file on behalf of the newborn

which was in their care at the time.

[Initech]

19. That woman needs to get the hell outta there and enroll in witness protection ASAP!

[jtuck004]

28. Odds are good she is gonna hate you people for treating him so badly.

I have seen too many of these. They look at their alternatives and all of them look so much better to everyone outside, but more frightening from where the victim of the assaults stands.

I hope one day she gets to where she needs to be.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Throw the book at him.

what the everloving fuck.
