Florida man accused of killing relative's newborn baby in 'unspeakable act' of child abuse

A 25-year-old Tampa, Florida man was arrested Friday in connection to the death of a 1-month-old infant during "an unspeakable act" of child abuse.

On Thursday, Dec. 8, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a local hospital after an unresponsive 1-month-old infant that arrived with upper body trauma. Despite doctor's lifesaving efforts, the baby died the following morning from the injuries.

The newborn's mother rushed the infant to the local Tampa hospital after she returned home from work and quickly realized that her child was unresponsive and seriously injured.

When interviewed by police, the mother told detectives that the infant was left in the care of her relative, Cortavius Thompson, while she was working and explained the last time she saw her child was during her lunch break, and there were no signs of injuries at that time.

When interviewed, Thompson told detectives that he was in the restroom when he heard the newborn crying from the adjacent room. According to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office, he said he noticed the injuries when he picked up the baby but said he "placed the infant in the bathtub in an attempt to wake the baby" while waiting for the child's mother to return.

The medical examiner’s office stated that the baby’s death could not have been accidental based on the injuries exhibited. The infant's death was ruled a homicide.

Too bad Cortavius didn’t have a “relative” to look after him when he was 1 month old.

Nah. Use a 2 lb. ball pein hammer. Same amount of pain but less damage. Start with the toes. Less chance of perp passing out from shock.

Hey, this story isn’t important. According to the Department of Injustice ... I mean Justice, white supremacists are the real danger to this Republic and they will not be deterred from that in spite of no actual crimes having been committed by them.

Just turn him loose on a remote cypress hammock a couple of hours before dark. The ‘gators and/or pythons would deal with him. The mosquitos alone would be maddening.

I got 30 days in Facebook Jail for quoting a line from the old Dean Martin movie ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO.

“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”

WHAM! Instant 30 days.

Yep, I’m assuming he hasn’t studied the Survival Guide…

The darkness would really screw with your head if you thought there were 15 foot pythons in the vicinity.

Anticipation of death is worse than death itself.
