Cops: Gang Member Forcibly Tattooed Son, 7

Police in California are looking for a man accused of holding down his 7-year-old son while another man tattooed the child's belly with a street gang sign.

The boy's mother reported it to Fresno authorities on Tuesday.

Police say the father, 26-year-old Enrique Gonzalez, faces six charges including mayhem, child abuse, false imprisonment, battery, participating in a criminal street gang and committing a crime for the benefit of a gang.

Police have arrested a man they say was the tattoo artist. He faces similar charges.

The dog paw insignia represents the Bulldogs, Fresno's largest criminal street gang.

"This is callous when you've got a father and one of his friends, who are gang members, who have to restrain a little boy," Jeff Cardinale of the Fresno Police Department told CBS affiliate KGPE. "We've even seen infants who are wearing onesies that are with Fresno State Bulldogs with gang paraphernalia on it, so they do start that whole indoctrination very early in life."
