Toddler Killed In Alleged 'Boxing Match' With Adult Man
2-Year-Old Died From Internal Hemorrhaging, Split Liver, Bruised Skull
POSTED: 6:53 a.m. EDT June 11, 2003
GREEN BAY -- A 32-year-old Green Bay man has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of a 2-year-old.
A criminal complaint filed Monday says Wilbur Leslie told police he stayed up late with Taylor Farah Friday night, and started playing a boxing game with him while he changed the boy's diaper.
Leslie said he and Taylor took turns punching one another in the stomach, and Taylor laughed, but Leslie admitted he got carried away and "started hitting Taylor harder each time."
His statement states that the last three or four times, Leslie hit the toddler as hard as he could in the stomach.
An autopsy showed the boy suffered severe internal hemorrhaging, his liver was split in two, and he had a bruised skull.
The complaint says Leslie and his wife have cared for the boy for the past three months, with their own children, while Taylor's mother was working.
Leslie said he didn't mean to hurt Taylor, and considered him part of the family.

My first reaction was that this was his cover story for what actually happened, but it's such a stupid story that it might actually be the truth. Who would make up something like that?

Why in God's name would a grown man punch a two-year old in the stomach?

When it comes out, the story will reveal that the man was p.o.'d that he had to change a poopy diaper and struck the baby, killing him.

Why do we not leave our two year old in the care of a grown man who is not his father, grandfather or uncle?????

An autopsy showed the boy suffered severe internal hemorrhaging, his liver was split in two, and he had a bruised skull. I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but you don't get a bruised skull from punching a stomach. I can't comment on the split liver, it's too sick.

There is no way this was an accident.
I have a game of my own I'd like to play, Wilber the human pinata.

When I was 16 or so, my cousins were around 4 and they would play silly games like "let's hit each other as hard as we can". I would give the kid the lightest tap and swear up and down that was as hard as I could punch.
How could a 32 year old man punch a 2 year old in the stomach "as hard as he could"????
Sicko is right.

The poor baby probably got bounced around pretty good from such stiff punches. I can envision his little head flying around from the force.

"...but you don't get a bruised skull from punching a stomach." Possibly in a whiplash effect if the child was lying on a table. The back of the skull (which is not yet fully formed on a 2 year old) would strike the table.
Just a guess on my part.

I vote he gets 10 rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson as his punishment. But he has to kick Tyson in the nuts before the match.
