CLEVELAND -- A Cleveland father is denying some serious accusations. 25 year old Joshua Rains says it was an accident when a diaper wipe got lodged in his 2 month old son's throat.

Rains plans to fight a child endangerment charge filed against him.

"Police believe it might be an accident," said his defense attorney, Daniel Margolis. "And it's our contention that it was an accident."

The police report said those at the scene believe "the baby's injuries are not consistent to the father's statement."

The father told police that he cleaned the baby's mouth and then the wipe disappeared.

"Once he noticed the child had swallowed the baby wipe, he tried to pull it out, but only jammed it further down the child's throat," the police report said.

Rains' other children have been placed in county custody, Margolis said.

The infant is said to be in good condition,
