Police: Man tortured 4-year-old to death for wetting his pants
CNN ^ | April 16TH 2010 | Jason Kessler

A Michigan man could face life in prison after he allegedly tortured and ultimately killed his girlfriend's 4-year-old son last week for wetting his pants, prosecutors say.

Brandon Joshua-Frederick Hayes, 24, "systematically beat" Dominick Calhoun, 4, "pummeling [him] with fists and kicking him" on his arms, legs and genitalia, Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton told CNN.

Hayes also apparently burned the boy in the course of the torture. "The knuckles across one hand were charred," Argentine Township police chief Dan Allen said.

"I've been doing this a long time, and this is the worst case of child abuse I've ever seen," the police chief said. "In all respects, he was tortured."

Prosecutors arraigned Hayes on Thursday on nine charges, including one count of first-degree premeditated murder, one count of first-degree child abuse and one count of torture, which by itself carries a possible life sentence.

24.

Probably a publik skool edukashun.

Never faced a real challenge in his life and had no idea how to handle a crying child. Probably interfered with his X-Box playing or something.

Simply a man’s right to choose.

$0.50 for a bullet to the back of the head.

Let the Almighty give him the real punishment.

Jail will not be nearly harsh enough IMHO.

“The town police chief said Baker and her son had been brought to the attention of Genesee County Department of Child Services on several occasions. The agency did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment Thursday.”

I wonder what the story is there?

Yep, I can’t even imagine what that little guy went through. There is nothing worse then a child abuser.

Why not the death penalty?

Michigan is one of those civilized dumb states with no death penalty.

Unfortunately, this is where other species in the animal kingdom have it over on us humans. They are consistently far more choosier in selecting mates than many humans.

This just makes me want to cry. Where was the boy’s mother? Where is his father?

Before the modern welfare state these kids of people died off from total stupidity. The only job he could have had in 1850 is as a petty criminal and he would have been a very hungry and skinny one I bet.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Michigan has the death penalty. Hopefully his fellow inmates will take care of the problem. I hope he suffers greatly.

as the father of a boy is is almost 4 I shudder to think what this little kid went through. What a god damned p#$$y this POS is. There are cowards in this world and then there are scum like him.

If he had done this to one of my kids, he’d be crapping his own pants after I got ahold of him. Sick B*****d.

Indeed....and to think it’s only getting worse, given the current trend.

Public hangings should become the norm once again.
