FULL TITLE: New York toddler is 'beaten to death by her mother's boyfriend after she accidentally soiled herself'

A 3-year-old girl in New York City died Saturday after her mother's boyfriend allegedly beat her to death in a fit of rage when she accidentally soiled herself.

Cops found little Jeida Torres unconscious and unresponsive about 3:50pm Saturday in an apartment in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood. Police had been called by a neighbor who heard the child screaming inside the place.

'I saw the paramedics run out with little girl wrapped in a blanket,' neighbor Keith Best, 43, told the New York Daily News.

'Her hands were just hanging out — just limp.'

Jeida had been allegedly 'punched and choked' by 20-year-old Kelsey Smith, who was babysitting her and her 5-year-old brother Andrew, sources told the Daily News.

'She either pooped her pants or peed on herself, and he got agitated,' the source told the newspaper.

The 3-year-old girl was rushed to Wyckoff Hospital in cardiac arrest with trauma to her head and tiny body — but didn't survive.

Her 5-year-old brother Andrew was left covered in bruises from his injuries, according to the Daily News. He was in stable condition Saturday night.

Smith, who has a criminal record, tried to commit suicide by cutting himself but failed, the newspaper reported.

He fled the scene of the alleged beating but was arrested in Queens after someone tipped police off, according to the Daily News.

He remained in custody late Saturday night but has not been charged with a crime.

Funny how it is almost always a boyfriend and almost never a husband. But no, of course it is outdated for men and women to get married before having kids.

There's a deliberate attempt to confuse this issue by referring to the perps as "intimate partners," conflating boyfriends with lawfully married husbands. In reality, it's almost always the boyfriend. Lawfully married husbands only rarely murder their wives or children.

Jailed? God ordains the shedding of blood for murderers. Execute him.
I agree - public hanging - Times Square w/ millions of people watching live and on TV.

Maybe that will be the basis of a new NBC sitcom?

You can Google the boyfriend. He had fifteen prior arrests.

Don’t even have to think twice about whose son the vicious perp is.

25+ years ago, I was that boyfriend, to my now wife of 25+ years.

I remind both of you that we, the guys unlike the one in this story, generate exactly zero press, so no one ever hears about us.

We exist in greater numbers than you might imagine.

I inherited 2 when I got married, had one with my wife, and now have 3 grandbabies with another on the way.

Just to balance out the equation a bit.

Yes, it’s true - situations where nothing bad happens don’t make the news. Congratulations on your children and grandchildren!

You're right. I was referring to the USA.
