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.

Affirmative — he richly deserves the medieval treatment.
“Dominick’s mother, Corrine Baker, was present for at least some of the beating and tried to shield the boy from Hayes’ aggression, authorities said.
“She tried to lay on top of the child to guard the child against being beat any further, but she was beat in the process,” according to the police chief.”
life...wtf?
Shoot the bastard and charge his parents for the bullet.
I always was partial to shed, vise, rusty saw blade, gasoline and matches myself...but that's just me ; )
Inch by inch.
And he does not get the death penalty... why?
Could? He sure as hell better if he did this (and we have no reason to believe he didn't).
No matter what else happens, he should be a candidate for forced sterilization, due to his subhuman depraved indifference to the child.
I do not want him to suffer, I just want him to NEVER have the opportunity to do something like this again. A box with dirt on it is at this time the only known way of providing this.
Per the article, he was a drug dealer.
The mother chose a real winner to bring into the home of her child.
I am thinking a life in prison will not be very pleasant for them either
but still.... save the world and the taxpayers some cash... hand him some sturdy clothesling and a private room
[Dominick’s mother’s whereabouts and actions through all portions of the torture session remain somewhat hazy. The county prosecutor said his office is “still investigating her involvement in all this.”
“She’s also culpable for putting him in the dangerous position in the first place,” he added.]
This happened over a period of days. The mother failed to get help.
Dear God. The baby is in a better place now.
No it won’t and I don’t feel bad for him for a second.
Isn’t there a MommyFAIL blog out there somewhere?
This one looks like a top pick.
[I am sure the mother was “in love” with the moron.]
and probably enjoying her share of the drugs he was dealing.
that too.
was he also pimping her out?
Maybe thats why her whereabouts were “hazy”?
