An Upper Saucon Township man was sent to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $20,000 bail after being charged with endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault for allegedly punching his five-year-old daughter and infant son, according to an Express-Times article that cites police and court records.

Joshua B. Davis, 30, of the 5000 block of Drummond Circle, was charged after his daughter told a family member over the summer that her father had punched her in the face with his rings, and after Davis' wife told authorities he had punched their 2-month-old son when he became exasperated by the baby's crying, the article said.
