A Knoxville man left to watch over his girlfriend's 11-year-old son while she was at work beat the boy to death over a span of nine hours on Saturday, according to Pittsburgh police.
The 29-year-old boyfriend, Anthony Bush, told police that he began beating the boy, Donovan McKee, with wooden sticks shortly after noon when Donovan failed to vacuum their apartment at 107 Knox Ave. in Beltzhoover as Mr. Bush had instructed, according to a police criminal complaint. The beatings, Mr. Bush told police, lasted until about 9 p.m.
"During the beatings, at times, the sticks would break and Bush would order Donovan to clean up the pieces of the broken sticks," the complaint states, "Bush stated he would take breaks, get new sticks, and continue beating the child throughout the day."
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office has ruled Donovan's death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to the head, trunk and extremities.
Mr. Bush, who has been charged with endangering the welfare of children and criminal homicide, told police he used at least three sticks, and that he struck Donovan with at least "one clean" head shot during the incident, according to the complaint. Donovan's 5-year-old brother was home at the time and witnessed some of the attacks, but was not harmed, according to the police.
Mr. Bush told police he had been having problems with Donovan lately and knew that he was going to have to discipline him for his behavior. He also told police he had to wait until after the boy's mother, Cynthia McKee, left for work because she often stopped him when he disciplined the children.
Mr. Bush lived at the apartment with Ms. McKee and her sons.

I understood exactly what you were saying. There is a war on men in this country-—destroy the men and you will destroy the culture that can protect itself.
This attack on men is by Marist ideology-—to destroy the natural family—to leave children defenseless against the indoctrination and care of the state. We see what the destruction of man did to the Black family. Children with no loving fathers end up dead, in gangs, as addicts or in prison. They have no positive, decent role model which is necessary for all male children if they are to grow up and be decent, mature people.
Kick the man out of the home and boys lose their role model and it destroys their sexual identity formation. Good men always have good fathers in early childhood and some strong male (good) mentor in adolescence.
(Note—zero is evil because all his mentors were supremely evil-—he is probably a sodomite also—since he has no morality and worships on the altar of Baal.)
The fight today is the androgynous push by the Marxist ideology to make women and men exactly the same-—destroy the natures of women and men-—that is why the push for women priests, women in combat, women forced in every business and a push to make them kill their own children-—get away from the house and family and raising their own children—which destroys the moral development of young children-—they become emotionally weak.
This destruction of the nature of man-—has to belittle and marginalize all manly chivalry-—that which honors a woman and puts her on a pedestal-—all Christian teaching-—which resulted in respect for womanhood, motherhood, etc. That is why Christianity has to be destroyed.
That is why the push to homosexualize men-—to make them idolatrous and narcissists-—concerned about their looks and body to an abnormal amount—so they have no time for intellectual pursuit and wisdom. Homosexuality is all about acting on base emotions which destroy the intellectual development and reduce men to sex objects-—exactly what the Marxists have been able to do with women over the last 50 years-—V-Monologues shows how debased and vulgarized the evil Marxists depict women—just equates them with sexual organs and glorifies hatred of men—with lesbian sex with children.....It is so vile and disgusting.
The war on manliness is real-—it is in full force-—the sodomy in the military is the last nail in the coffin to destroy all good men—get them kicked out of our once Christian military.
“I am TIRED of the attack on men in this country!!!”
Me too, but as a man, I came to the conclusion a few years back that men can’t really do much about it. A “few bad apples”, as they say, in the female population, have been poisoning the well of relations between the sexes in our country for a long time. A lot of gullible men have helped them too, so there’s plenty of guilt to go around.
Still, when men speak out against this stuff, our voices are easily marginalized, by accusing us of mysogyny, or saying we are losers who can’t get a date, or we’re bitter from bad experiences with women, etc. Add to that the fact that men will never show any kind of solidarity on these matters, because so many men are in a “Stockholm syndrome” mentality, where they will agree with anything women say in order to not jeopardize their chances of getting laid. Nothing will change until the majority of women get fed up with this nonsense and start shouting the harpies down.
I think some people are taking their subjective experiences, combined with sensational news stories, and extrapolating a rule that simply isn’t supportable. I agree that there is a bigger chance of this type of thing happening in a household where you have an unrelated man watching the kids.
However, correlation is not causation, and we have to remember that, or it’s easy to draw the wrong conclusion. You can’t extrapolate from that one fact that all men are more likely to abuse children. It could be true, instead, that the men who are more likely to abuse children are also more likely to get involved with relationships with single mothers. Alternatively, single mothers may be the ones who are more attracted to men who tend to have an abusive personality. Factors like that might not seem obvious, but they can be extremely relevant, and can cause you to draw a completely different conclusion from the same data.
I will shout them down. I have a good man who loves and cares for me. He still treats me like a lady and I respect and honor him. Am I always the perfect wife? NO! Am I ever the perfect wife? NO! But I love him and I appreciate that he is manly and stands up to me when I try to usurp his authority. I also appreciate that he will hear me when I speak, consider my needs and apologize to me when he has not taken my needs into consideration. I will also apologize to him when I have asked too much and not given enough. Marriage is a give and take. It is not one sided.
My husband is a good man. My dad is a good man. We have a church FULL of good men. They love God, their country, their wives and their children. And I appreciate them.
Well, I for one thank you for speaking out, because I know you probably will get more crap from “the sisterhood” for it than men will, since they kind of expect it from us. Sounds like you are blessed with a good marriage (not a perfect one, since they don’t exist), and I hope the Lord continues to bless you and your husband.
I’m still looking for my “helpmate”, and sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever find one nowadays, but thoughtful and fair-minded women with their heads on straight, like you seem to be, do give me hope!
Wow, pure idiocy.
Looks like an albino black man. (Yes I have met some of them before)
When my kids were little I spent LOTS of time with them at the local parks, etc. So many times some mom would make the remark “Oh - babysitting the kids today?”
“No - I’m their DAD!” (Of course they knew that already).
Well I pray that the Lord blesses you with a wonderful helpmate that you will love and cherish. I married when I was 19 and we have grown up together. Our 19th anniversary is next month. We agreed before marriage that we were in it for life and divorce would never be an option. Since divorce wasn’t an option there were days I considered killing him but he has proved more useful alive than dead. :) Lol!
I alway hated that. No one ever asked a mom if she was babysitting her kids. I have had the question “are all of those your kids?” when I have my children and some of their friends. I always say ‘no but I sure wish they were’ or ‘no but I would take them all’.
Well, it arcs back to abortion, the pill and the new age rape right. The oedipian reaction of disgust at one’s mother belies that if there was a way to rape the mother or have her raped, that the id monster part would find it appealing. Taking it on children is often a manifestation of that id. A jackal is a dishevelled dark haired jackal, whether male or female. All this “gay cute” niceness out there is terribly deceptive and full of denial. These are grown “animals” which happen to also look at themselves in a mirror, something other animals do not partake in (making them as a result more submissive and knowledgeable of their master than we would, ie. respect of environments and God).
Liberals approach it as a way to avoid “details” for “better more important things”. I seem to remember that, however, Hitler admirers also view things statisticaly, calling the Holocaust a “detail” of WWII. They all embrace the same language of pragmatism when in fact they do not care in the first place. World scale or local scale, how one cares for someone is all the importance.
I am not sure I understand your post. What arcs back to abortion and the pill? I have never heard the term new age rape. What do you mean by that?
Do you believe the oedipius complex is valid? I reread your post several times and couldn’t discern your stance.
I do not believe that boys want to have sex with their mothers. Freud was a degenerate that projected his own sick ideas onto the masses. I place no faith at all in psychoanalysis.
People that commit crimes like the one in the article are not animals. They are evil.
Obviously I am a Christian. I believe the Bible. It states that all are born in sin. All have a conscience but through acts of evil can have their consciences seared.
I am not trying to be argumentative at all. I truly didn’t understand your post.
Thanks, and don’t lose your sense of humor... Lord knows we need it nowadays!
The pill is the date rape drug, let us face it.
A sense of disgust at the mother is overcome by the sense of wish to rape. This is the real “oedipian” complex that liberals are under. Freud made it politicaly correct and distorted because he was afraid of women and was gay. He bowed to the PC prostitute goddess of today’s world.
The pill, the murder and the rape of little children is all about that.
About 20 years ago, I was going through a divorce. Our only son was 10 years old. My wife was angry, bitter and full of vengeance ...and sleeping with her lawyer. There were times she told me she was out to destroy me, and was willing to accuse me of anything to get custody of our son.
I joined Texas Fathers for Equal Rights. Some of the meetings I attended were like group therapy. A lot of the men had been divorced for a while, paying child support, but were there trying to get help because the mothers weren't allowing visitation. Some of these men were barely making it financially, but were wanting to see their kids. They sounded like "women haters", but the truth is, they were so beaten down by a judicial system stacked against them, they felt like they were fighting the entire world.
With the help of T.F.E.R., I ended up representing myself. We agreed on a joint custody, but my son's mother didn't really participate that much. I ended up raising him by myself.
Amongst my working peer group, men in similar situations started approaching me. I soon discovered a great untold story. The huge number of protective fathers rescuing their kids from unstable mothers. Over the years I became shocked at how many times the story repeated itself.
Men fighting hard to become the custodial parent...in order to protect their children. There is a great story ready to be told, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit into the "male sexual predator" mold the press and Hollywood like to focus on, so it will remain a well kept secret truth.
Your story is not uncommom. I recognize that. You also do not sound like a woman hater in this post. Although I wouldn’t blame you if you ended up as one.
I am glad you fought for your son. Sons NEED a father. Any woman that would deny her son a father out of bitterness has problems. I understand that men in these situations feel abused by their ex wives and the system. I UNDERSTAND their hatred. I really feel for them. It seems that women hold all the cards in custody/child support cases. It has gotten a little better in recent years but the deck is still stacked in favor of mothers.
I have tried to convince some of the ‘women haters’ on this forum that we are not all angry and bitter. I hope all of you find good women that you can love and cherish and one that loves and respects you as a man.
Blessings!
I left out a lot of the story, but before the court date to finalize our divorce, I was the one explaining the details of the agreement to her, instead of her own lawyer.
I tried to keep my personal feelings toward my ex-wife away from my son as much as possible, and always insisted he treat her with respect, despite her obvious flaws. And made sure he knew that deep down, she really did love her son.
I think most the "women haters" are guys resentful of the power the women have over their access to their own children.
‘I tried to keep my personal feelings toward my ex-wife away from my son as much as possible, and always insisted he treat her with respect,’
Good for you. Not an easy thing to do, I am sure.
‘I think most the “women haters” are guys resentful of the power the women have over their access to their own children.
100% agreed!
