Kaleb Schwade is an American infant whose experience with what is believed to be shaken baby syndrome has been widely publicized on MySpace.
The child's parents, Kristy and Joshua Schwade, claim they found their then five-month-old son lethargic when they picked him up from his caregiver on May 9, 2007. They took him to Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, Florida, where he was diagnosed with bilateral hemorrhaging and subdural hematoma. On her Myspace page, Kristy Schwade reported that the injury, which blinded her son, had also given him bacterial meningitis and that she feared he might wind up in a vegetative state.
On May 14, 2007, home day care provider Rebecca Saunders, 35, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated child abuse. She pleaded not guilty to the charge. then in March 2009 Saunders was reported to be in the Hillsborough County Jail awaiting trial, charged with aggravated child abuse.
In 2009, the parents sued the daycare company and Saunders over the injuries.
Fundraising efforts for Kaleb Schwade's care include a benefit concert by Florida musician Rick Reynolds and a volleyball tournament in Newton, Kansas.
