FULL TITLE: Pregnant mother 'beat her toddler to death more than 100 TIMES with belt and electrical cord, then waited hours to call for help'
A 22-year-old pregnant woman from Chicago has been accused of whipping to death her 3-year-old son with a belt and an electrical cord.
Tylesha Griffin, of West Rogers Park, was charged with first-degree murder Sunday, two days after the child, Donnell Coakley, was found unresponsive in his bed.
The toddler was rushed to St Francis Hospital, where he passed away a short time later.
The death was classified as a homicide after an autopsy determined that little Donnell had suffered 'abusive injuries.'
The boy was allegedly struck more than 100 times on his buttocks, legs, back, arms and head.
Court documents cited by the local news blog RedEye Chicago indicate that the child suffered a chipped front tooth, a massive gaping wound exposing muscle on his left arm, and had patches of hair missing from his head.
Tylesha Griffin's young son also had burn marks all over his body, and he may have been bound based on ligature markings on his wrists.

I hope this wasn’t white on black crime. That would be a human rights violation or something.
Tylesha
another arresting name
first-degree murder is exactly what it is, although “tortured to death” fits
Maybe we can have the UN hear about this?
Speechless. Totally dumbfounded.
This toddler is in the loving hands of the Almighty Himself now. No more tears; no more pain ever again little one.
>>Tylesha

Those Amish and their strange names...
‘beat her toddler to death more than 100 TIMES..’
Article writer should be stuned.
Impossible to beat someone to death more than once.
Beat someone one hundred times until death, yes.
The “mom” was never a “mother”, she is instead a monster.
If Obama had a son it would look like Donnell. I’m sure he’ll have Holder investigate Tylesha Griffin.
Oh, Rahm, paging Rahm Emmanuel.
An extremely terrible story.
(The title is...misleading)
>>Speechless. Totally dumbfounded.<<
If there wasn’t a Hell, God would have to create it for monsters who would beat a baby to death in such a painful way.
Not too Christian of me, I know, but that is as far as I can go here.
prayers up, RIP
Whaddaya suppose the over/under is on her life expectancy once she gets behind bars?
Poor little guy. Just the other day I read about a loathsome couple (plus a live-in girlfriend) who beat a poor little 4 year old to death. There are no words.
This makes me be “let the punishment fit the crime” guy.
I’m with you on that prayer.
And I suddenly feel really sick.
Call the Concierge at Man's Country which curiously enough is not too far from where this happened.
Tylesha.
nuff said.
this probably all took place while dad was away from home at work.....
Was this covered in the US press? If not, why not?
Let me see.. Tylashe and Donnell? I might be called racist, but must be Holder’s peeps...
If the sperm donor was at work, he works at Thug Unlimited. Although I doubt the said sperm donor was around the house or employed.
