The father of a baby who died after a 10-year-old allegedly stomped on his head at a Wisconsin daycare center says the young girl is a criminal and deserves to be in handcuffs.

Six-month-old Jaxon Liedl was pronounced dead in hospital on November 1 - two days after he suffered severe injuries at the daycare center, which also serves as a foster home, in Chippewa Falls.

The 10-year-old girl is accused of dropping Jaxon on the floor before stomping on his head.

The girl, who is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, cried as she was brought into a courtroom last week in handcuffs, the MailOnline reported.

Jaxon's father, Nate Liedl, told ABC7 that he went to court and wanted the little girl to see his face.

"As opposed to seeing it as a 10-year-old girl, I saw it as the person who killed my son," Liedl said.

"She, in my opinion, deserved to be in shackles or handcuffs. She's a criminal."

Liedl said he doesn't blame the daycare for his infant son's death.

Police said the girl, who is a foster child who lived at the daycare center, was alone in the house at the time and everyone else was outside playing.

She told investigators that she had picked Jaxon up but then panicked when she dropped him.

The girl allegedly told police she stomped on his head when Jaxon started crying.

Paramedics arrived at the daycare center to find Jaxon unresponsive and bleeding from his head.

His father was unaware of what had happened and coincidentally arrived at the daycare center as Jaxon was being rushed away in an ambulance.

Liedl said he followed the ambulance to the hospital and said he never imagined it being as bad as it was.

"They had mentioned what are we going to do if his heart stops, and it caught me completely off guard. I had sent a couple messages out to family to let them know that Jaxon's not going to make it. I remember, I broke down out there pretty bad. Yeah, it really hit hard," Liedl said.

"I waited 37 years for my own little baby boy. I was extremely lucky because he didn't cry, no fussing, he was happy smiles all the time."

Jaxon's funeral was held on Thursday.

The girl charged with his murder will face court again on December 11.
