‘I begged them not to kill my baby’: Tragedy as 13-month-old toddler is shot dead in his stroller by teenage robber in front of mother

Sherry West approached by two boys yards from home in Brunswick, GA

They demanded money before shooting her son Antonio dead as he slept

Police offer $10,000 reward for information about 'senseless killing'

A distraught mother as told how she pleaded with young robbers to spare her toddler's life before they shot him dead as he slept in his stroller.

Sherry West was pushing her 13-month-old son Antonio yards from their home in Brunswick, Georgia, early yesterday morning when she was approached by two African-American boys.

She told how one of them, who looked about 15, demanded money from her and threatened to kill her if she didn't give him any. She told him she didn't have any.

'He said: "Well, I'm going to kill your baby", and I said "Please don't kill my baby."

Ms West added: 'I put my arms over my baby and then he shoved me and then he shot my baby right in the head.'

Ms West began CPR on Antonio but it was in vain and the infant, who had been sleeping when he was shot, died at the scene of the 9am attack

The child's mother suffered a bullet wound to her leg which needed hospital treatment but was allowed home soon afterwards.

Antonio's father Louis Santiago said he wished he had been there to protect his son.

Your comment is interesting. I must confess I did not think of the possibility the mother killed the child and made up some mythical blacks. I initially take these stories at face value. A good admonition to pause before making a response.

Sound advice.... especially given this update: Brunswick, GA police now have a 17 and 14 year old in custody, both charged with murder. Link to AP story

Yeh and little thugs like those long pauses because it gives them time to get away, destroy evidence, and call their local Benjamin Crump.

This is the coldest crime I can remember.

It's worse than "Clockwork Orange."

the details in the story I linked are chilling - between this story and the one earlier today about abortion atrocities (the correct word), ... I’m ... I have no more words.

You have to live outside the US to get news of what’s happening in the US.

This story makes my BS meter start to twitch uncontrollably.

Will probably get flamed and can't put my finger on a 'why', but, my BS meter is twitching too.

The MSM and others state that anyone under 18 is a child.

So the mother kills the child in broad daylight pushing the child down the street in a stroller rather than an accidental drowning while bathing the child?????

Damn. I was almost, almost hoping it was another Susan Smith.

Better one psychotic woman than a systemic societal issue.

Now I know why my kid carries a Glock 19 on the right side and a KelTec PF9 on the left. Nothing wrong with the Hi-Power or the 1911A1, but you do need to keep your pants up.

Yep, totally bogus. I’d bet the mother shot the kid. But that’s just based on what little I’ve read in the article. Makes no sense.

She lost another son a while back, sounds like he wasn't part of the school honor society.....

'He and some other boys were going to ambush a kid,' Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the Gloucester County prosecutor's office, told the AP Friday.

Glassey was armed with a knife, but the 17-year-old target of the attack was able to get the knife away from him 'and Glassey ended up on the wrong end of the knife,' Weisenfeld recalled.

Prosecutors decided the 17-year-old would not be charged because they determined that he acted in self-defense.

our P.C. will not report.

Just this very moment, the nationwide news on my local A.M. station announced the arrest of the two murderers.........WJR - Detroit
