Dayton father pleads guilty in infant abuse case
Jun. 10—A Dayton man has pleaded guilty as charged after he was accused of hurting his 5-month-old child.
Brandon Landsiedel, 24, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to one felony count of endangering children, according to a plea agreement filed Tuesday.
The charge could result in fines up to $10,000 and prison terms of nine months to three years.
One condition of the agreement is that Landsiedel have no contact with the child.
He was charged after an incident Nov. 1, 2024, when police were called to Dayton Children's Hospital for a 5-month-old child with "significant injuries," according to the Montgomery County prosecutor's Office.
The prosecutor's office said that Landsiedel was the infant's father and primary caregiver, and was present when the injuries occurred.
"The child's injuries are inconsistent with the defendant's explanation," the prosecutor's office said.
Landsiedel is scheduled to be sentenced June 26.

Fort Smith mother to file lawsuit against Alma school, alleges teacher kicked her 4-year-old son
ALMA, Ark. (KNWA/FOX24) — On May 15, Ariel Bentley's four-year-old son, Draco, informed her that he had been kicked multiple times by a teacher at Stepping Stone School in Alma, and she plans to file a lawsuit. Bentley reached out to the school, which then started an investigation into her son's claims when security footage showed the story to be true. Stepping Stone has since fired the teacher involved. Bentley said that when she saw the video, she was shocked. 'I could tell she's visibly upset at my child, and he goes into the bathroom because this is where it took place. He turns around and looks at her… It made her upset because she immediately bolted at him and starts kicking right away three times,' Bentley said. Residents question lack of sirens before Highfill tornado Bentley claims she asked to get a copy of the security footage, which the school complied with, but then later declined due to a privacy issue with another child being in the frame. Administration at the school allegedly told her that when their IT worker got back into town, they would alter the video and send it to her. Bentley said that never happened. 'May 30 came and went. A week later, I called them. They said they completely forgot about it. I said, 'How do you forget about the child abuse?'' Bentley said. According to Bentley, she was already pressing charges against the teacher involved, but now she is turning her attention to the school itself. After a Facebook post by Bentley detailed her and her son's experience, it sparked 'multiple other parents' to comment with similar stories about child abuse at Stepping Stone. 'If they're not going to replace the people in the office up there, then I think that they should be shut down,' Bentley said. 'I would like to see new people in there. I think that's the main goal. The people that are employed there do not need to be employed there. They do not need to be in charge of those children.' Bentley said she is in the process of filing a formal lawsuit against the school, claiming misconduct and child abuse as her leading factor. KNWA/FOX24 reached out to the school. They did not get back with us. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
