Following a Philadelphia shooting, an 11-month-old boy was left clinging to life after his father used him as a “human shield” to thwart a potential angry drug dealer, prosecutors said in a new report.

Yaseem Munir Jenkins was struck in the head, neck and buttocks while in the back seat of a moving car in the city’s Hunting Park section Oct. 19.

Authorities said at the time that Yaseem’s father, Nafes Monroe, his stepmother and another man were also in the car when shots suddenly rang out.

Now, Monroe — who was previously taken into custody on a probation violation — has been arrested in connection with the shooting, the city’s district attorney’s office announced Tuesday. He faces charges of recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of a child, according to WPVI.

It’s difficult to imagine such a scenario.

I have seen this horrible behavior in person previously. There is no lower form of human scum and somebody who would do that

Perhaps “father” <> “daddy”?

The story is worse than the title

Horrible

Take a toddler to rip off your local hard drug dealer

That’s a bad thing

He needs life at a minimum

RUD

removal upon death

Don’t bother, I did and it’s just as I thought. Not white, full of tattoos all over face & neck. Could be Obamas son.

Prayers for the young toddler who is the only innocent person in all of this.

Is this what passes for writing these days at the Post?

The drug dealer was potentially angry? The angry person was potentially a drug dealer?

North Philadelphia sh*thole with the usual scum. The gun will be blamed and the “brothers” and fake Muslims will get the pass. That’s the story to save time.

I think of a ‘human shield’ as holding the child between the combatants snot sitting in a cars back seat.
