In addition to brutalizing tragic 7-year-old Nixzmary Brown, Rodriguez, 27, also took a belt and his fists to the three other stepchildren in his crowded home Javier, 9, Edward Jr., 5, and Selena, 4.
But in a sick twist, the sadist was selective in his abuse and apparently never laid a hand on the two kids he fathered with Nixzaliz Santiago Cesar, age 6 months, and Augustine, age 18 months a source said.

That's not a "sick twist" at all. In fact, what you've described here is not all that unusual. Perpetrators of this kind of abuse in a dysfunctional family situation like this follow a pattern that is well-established among primates like baboons -- in which a dominant male will establish himself as the head of his "tribe" by gathering a harem of females and killing off any of their offspring that were fathered by other males.
