A mother claims her allegations of domestic violence were not taken seriously by officials. Her 3-year-old child was punched by the father, Specialist Baltazar E. Gonzalez. He has been sentenced to six years in a military facility and given a dishonorable discharge.

Gonzalez pleaded guilty to several charges, including domestic violence. A prosecutor noted that the sentence is an important step in securing justice, although it cannot undo the harm caused.

Further details about the case and its outcome are available from the source, including comments from a military prosecutor about the collaboration between law enforcement agencies.
