TAMPA -- A 7-year-old boy fatally beat his baby half-sister with his fists, feet and a two-by-four because he was jealous of the attention she was receiving and because she wouldn't stop crying, police said Wednesday.
The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office is trying to decide whether to file charges against the boy in the attack that rattled even veteran homicide detectives.
"The veteran detectives who worked on this case have never seen a case with someone as young as a 7-year-old show so much violence and so little remorse," McElroy said. "The only explanation he gave is he wanted her to stop crying."
The unidentified boy was not taken into custody and is living with his mother in Lakeland while prosecutors make their decision. The attack occurred May 22 at the home of the boy's father in Tampa.

If you ever go there, you'd better buy it bottled. Better yet, take your own supply.
2.The adults were outside with neighbors (probably partying) at midnight. Why isn't the kid in bed asleep at midnight?
3.No supervision with a seven year old and a baby and a piece of wood just lying around????
4. These idiots named their baby Jayza.
I'm sorry the parents should go to jail for this.
"Sounds like he had some real anger issues relating to his parents' divorce that were never addressed. Folks think that kids are so resilient, that they can 'get over' a divorce easily, then accept it when a new baby comes along. The kid suspects he's lost his father's love, and now that's reinforced by the presence of the new baby and the father is so happy about the baby that the boy thinks his father will never love him again. So he does the only thing he knows to do, remove the rival for his father's affections. "
I think you slammed that nail right on the head and to the hilt. I don't think there's a need to add anymore than precisely what you've said.
"...safe from the ten commandments in school..."
...but land in prison, and the ACLU demands prisoners be allowed all manner of religious expression. Go figure...
That's the spirit!
A little harsh, perhaps. But I agree.
My thoughts exactly when I read this. Our babies are being murdered daily, and we have created a culture of death that permeates society.
The pill, free love, the sexual revolution, the end of shame, Godless classrooms, and the foundation set for abortion on demand and defining deviency down. The beginning of diversity, multi-culturalism and politically correct speech and thought.
A wonderful legacy for a pathetic and self-serving generation.
I agree the parents in charge need to be thrown in jail.
umm.. you dont let his ass out.
You have to admit to a difference between a child who is having problems dealing with the breakup of its parents and a child who would murder a 7 month old infant.
While the parents are to blame, I'm of the opinion it has more to do with their lack of discipline of the child, not teaching the child moral values, right and wrong and the difference between reality and fantasy. In other words, failure to parent.
In a world where a Godly family is being attacked on all sides, this sort of thing isn't surprising. Shocking, yes...but not surprising.
On an unrelated note, you think Jayza's bad? My father once knew a girl who was named 'Moon Unit' by her dad. And no, I am NOT making this up.
Moon Unit Zappa--sister to Dweezil, Ahmet & Diva Muffin...children of Frank Zappa.
The recent book Freakonomics has a study of names doomed for failure. My fav was a girl named (shuh-teed), which is spelled Shithead.
Ever heard of Frank Zappa?
Yes.
The guy who owned the Lear company named his daughter Chanda.
Ohhhhhhhh, wait.... THAT'S right. Never mind. Thanks, Supreme Court!

May God have mercy on his little sole. We should all say our prayers and hope for the best.
I am glad to announce that I haven't sat thru one complete episode of "friends" ever, even though I like that blond gal.....she is really funny.....( not Anniston)
I find most TV to be immoral and some are so tiresome and irritating that I think pulling my fingernails out one by one might be more pleasant...
I fully believe that even if a tiny minority of God-fearing people come together that we can survive this world.....
its people who don't believe in God at all that scare me.....it means that they think they can do anything at all without consequences.....
