A South Carolina man not only threw his 15-month-old baby in the air and let him drop onto the pavement, but he asserted he often dropped the child to “toughen” him up,” according to the Myrtle Beach Police Department.

Richard Kavin Register III, 29, was booked into the Horry County Jail on Friday under a $50,716 bond for unlawful conduct toward a child, public intoxication, and simple possession of marijuana.

According to the documents, a witness flagged down an officer on Aug. 17. She described seeing Register drop and shake a baby in a stroller.
