As in the AJC 3/12/07 Father caught trying to suffocate son A father was arrested Sunday at a children's hospital, charged with trying to kill his baby. Concerned because the 3-month-old boy was having recurring breathing problems that a battery of tests failed to diagnose, hospital officials placed a camera in the baby's room and were shocked by what they saw: The boy's father, police said, had his hands over the infant's mouth and nose, suffocating him. Staffers stopped the father and called police. The father, Michael Charles Callaway, is now in the Fulton County Jail, charged with aggravated assault and cruelty to children. Callaway's son had been at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite since late February. Sandy Springs police said the child was placed in a room with a hidden video camera, which caught Callaway, 28, of Blairsville, covering his child's nose and mouth deliberately, said Lt. Steve rose. Kevin McClelland, a hospital spokesman, said hospital officials are working with authorities but would not release any details about the case, citing patient confidentiality and the ongoing criminal investigation. Rose said police are trying to see whether it is a case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a mental condition where a caregiver induces an illness in a person under their care in order to attract attention to themselves. The boy was released from the hospital Monday because doctors found nothing wrong with him.
