Louisville police say a boy’s chance of survival is “50-50” after his spleen ruptured following a beating by his father Friday that left the son unconscious, according to reports. Investigators say Dossey and his son argued Friday in their Louisville home, according to the report. Dossey reportedly told authorities that his son had spat on him and hit him, prompting Dossey to grab his son and punch him in the face. The son's age was not specified, but he was described as a minor, Louisville's FOX 41 reported. The Child Protection Branch (CPB) of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services is investigating the case, FOX 41 reported.
