An angry teenager left a baby with four broken ribs, two broken legs and a broken foot - because he could not stop the tot crying.
Jordan Lawton, 18, squeezed the baby's chest, brought its legs together and threw a PlayStation controller at its foot in anger.
Now Lawton has been sentenced to 10 months in a young offenders' institution, suspended for 18 months, Stoke-on-Trent Live report.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the child came to the attention of the authorities after a support worker noticed a mark on its face. The child was referred to a GP before being seen by a paediatrician.
The defendant, of Hamil Road, Burslem, accepted responsibility for causing the injuries during his police interviews. He later admitted causing or allowing serious physical harm to a child on the basis that the injuries were caused on one occasion when the baby would not stop crying.
Catherine O'Reilly, mitigating, said the defendant - who has no previous convictions - was 16 at the time of the offence and has been left ashamed by his actions.
Miss O'Reilly added: "He bitterly regrets what he did."
As part of the suspended sentence, the defendant must complete a rehabilitation activity requirement for 30 days and 200 hours unpaid work.
'The remorse is obvious'
Judge Paul Glenn told Lawton: "A doctor concluded the injuries were non-accidental.
"I accept your age and immaturity contributed significantly to what occurred and the court has to have regard to your age at the time.
"It is quite plain you suffer with anxiety and depression. The remorse is obvious. I think the risk of re-offending is low. I suspect you probably had no idea of just what damage you had done.
"It took 18 months from the time of your arrest to you being charged.
"The obvious aggravating feature is that this was a very, very young child."
