A distraught mother as told how she pleaded with young robbers to spare her toddler's life before they shot him dead as he slept in his stroller.
Sherry West was pushing her 13-month-old son Antonio yards from their home in Brunswick, Georgia, early yesterday morning when she was approached by two African-American boys.
She told how one of them, who looked about 15, demanded money from her and threatened to kill her if she didn't give him any. She told him she didn't have any.
'He said: "Well, I'm going to kill your baby", and I said "Please don't kill my baby."
Ms West added: 'I put my arms over my baby and then he shoved me and then he shot my baby right in the head.' Ms West began CPR on Antonio but it was in vain and the infant, who had been sleeping when he was shot, died at the scene of the 9am attack.
The child's mother suffered a bullet wound to her leg which needed hospital treatment but was allowed home soon afterwards.
Antonio's father Louis Santiago said he wished he had been there to protect his son.
The robbers are said to be African-American, with one aged about 13-15 years and the other slightly younger. The elder one, who shot the infant, is of thick build with curly hair, while the younger one is aged 10-12. They fled on foot, taking nothing.
Ms West said she only realised the gun was real when she saw that the youth had shot her child dead.
At a news conference after the attack, Mayor Bryan Thompson said: 'This is obviously just a terrible day in the city of Brunswick made even more so by the senseless killing of a young child, and it appears perpetrated by children themselves.

It's like Nazis and Communists, both alike in more ways than not, but still hated each other just the same.
Can’t do that. In fact, our very own Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom ruled that juveniles cannmot even be given a life sentence.
You are correct. Spoke out of turn according to the SC.
Essentialy, whatr the Mayor was saying is, he did not give a damn. If there is any justice to be had, the baby's father must administer it. If it had been my son, hell would or will have one more occupant. And I would be in jail.
This would only be taken up by the socialist democratic frauds infested in the MSM if it were white boys killing a black baby.
See Post #37
They go out and do it again. This time the kill everyone. A/k/a witness elimanation.
“Yes Virginia, There are monsters and they disguise themselves as children.”
Obviously these two boys just wanted some money to buy Skittles and Ice Tea.
If this story turns out to be as the mother says, I wouldn’t be surprised. The Democrats/Liberals and their MSM have created an out of control Frankenstein Monster upon society, and this story, if true, is just a small example of the chaotic new social dis-order, void of personal safety, common decency, and civilized behavior that they have forced upon us. Here are 273 pages worth of the same, and it is growing leaps and bounds daily: http://able2know.org/topic/138570-273
I’m stayin’ away from them, regardless.
I wish I wasn’t thinking the same way, yet I am.
Why would she only be shot in the leg? One thing for sure, terrible tragedy and the poor little child.
Child soldiers are the most ruthless. This has proven itself over and over on Third World skirmishes.
So incredibly heartbreaking. What can anyone do, except fight back. And that means getting a permit and carrying a weapon. I really don’t want to do that. Will if I must, but I don’t want to live in a world where it’s necessary.
Two youths arrested in shooting death of Georgia baby
Brunswick, Georgia (CNN) — Two teenagers have been arrested in the shooting death of a 13-month-old boy who was in his stroller, according to police in Brunswick, Georgia.
The suspects are a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy, Police Chief Tobe Green told reporters Friday. He said they are being held on suspicion of first-degree murder.
“We are turning every stone to get a motive,” said Green.
Sherry West told reporters that the incident occurred at 9 a.m. Thursday as she was walking home from the post office, pushing her son Antonio in a stroller. She said she saw two boys.
“A boy approached me and told me he wanted my money, and I told him I didn’t have any money,” she said. “And he said, ‘Give me your money or I’m going to kill you and I’m going to shoot your baby and kill your baby,’ and I said, “I don’t have any money and don’t kill my baby.”
The boy tried to grab her purse and opened fire when she said tried to tell him she had no money, West said, grazing her head. She said the boy then shot her in the leg.
She continued, “And then, all of a sudden, he walked over and he shot my baby in the face.”
Police offered a $10,000 reward for information and have received more than 30 leads, police said.
Though no one has reported seeing the shooting, several people called 911 after hearing it, police spokesman Todd Rhodes said earlier.

Raising would imply some level of parental input. We are allowing a generation of children to raise themselves and become feral. Their role models are absentee fathers, sports figures and Hollywood mega stars that draw multimillion dollar salaries and live lives of debauchery with nary a consequence.
Pay no mind ... To The Fool on The Hill.
Thanks for your encouragement. Have taken steps.
You stay safe too:)
But not the smartest. Old soldiers know when it is necessary and how.
These are not soldiers, they are vermin. Taught to hate whitie and that someone else is why they are so miserable.
And they feel empowered because of Obozo and Holder. They know no one will go after them if there is a way to let them weasel out.
