Yeah legalize drugs, what's the down side. Calif. man accused of biting out son's eye May 20 01:37 PM US/Eastern BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A 4-year-old boy may be permanently blinded because his father bit out one of his eyes and mutilated the other, police said. Police said 34-year-old Angel Vidal Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP when he attacked the boy April 28. Mendoza's son, Angelo Mendoza Jr., was placed in the care of Child Protective Services. According to an affidavit, he told investigators "my daddy bit me on my eyes and hands." Doctors at Mercy Hospital said it wasn't clear if Angelo will regain vision in his right eye. After attacking the boy, police said, Mendoza rolled his wheelchair outside and hacked at his own legs with an ax. The boy's mother wasn't home at the time. Mendoza is accused of mayhem, torture and child cruelty. A court hearing set for Wednesday was postponed. Deputy Public Defender Joel E. Lueck said Mendoza was hospitalized, recovering from the wounds on his legs. Judge Colette Humphrey issued a gag order prohibiting attorneys and investigators from commenting about the case. Members of the family declined to comment.
