Mel Gibson punched his baby

On January 6, Mel Gibson may have punched Oksana Grigorieva so hard that he knocked out two of her front teeth and bruised her eyes. Oksana says she was holding her baby, Lucia, at the time and it has now come to light that Mel may have also hit the baby and that there is photographic evidence.

The images, which show baby Lucia with a bruise on her chin, are part of Oksana’s sealed declaration to the court, a source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. And those photos will be a vital piece of evidence Oksana will use in court in Los Angeles Thursday when she goes before a judge in her custody battle with Mel.

It’s a bombshell development in the war between the former lovers. Their daughter was only two months old at the time of the alleged incident and the source, who has direct knowledge of the photos, says it is unmistakable that the infant is bruised.

I’ll reserve judgment until I hear Mel’s side of the story. Maybe that kid was giving him lip so he popped him one. Totally reasonable reaction. Babies deal in nothing but pure, unadulterated violence. The only way you can get through to them is with your fully-developed, adult-sized fists.
