Man Cuts Son’s Thumb Off Trying to Take Off Cast

Florida - Lawrence Roberts, 33, was charged with aggravated child abuse after cutting off the top of his son’s right thumb while attempting to saw off the teen’s cast. Roberts pulled out a 10-inch circular saw from his work truck and for unknown reasons, he then attempted to cut the teen’s purple cast off his right hand. The saw sliced through the tip of the boy’s right thumb and the middle of his index finger was almost cut off. Robert’s son was rushed to Coral Springs Medical Center and then later transferred to Broward General Hospital for an emergency surgery to attempt to replace the tip of his thumb.  More
