Candy - That just doesn't sound right. I agree with those who say to contact authorities. I'd call the National Child Abuse Hotline. They will connect you with a local number.

1-800-4-A-CHILD
(1-800-422-4453)

It's available 24 hours a day and is staffed with professionals. You can describe the problem and do it anonymously. If it turns out to be a not abuse - it's a LEAST a sick child who needs to be taken care of better. Even if this is a "colicy" child, it doesn't need to be yelled at by dad.
