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.

Is that a bullet proof vest he’s wearing? Make him take it off and go in unprotected.

I’m going to self-censor here, on what I think about the little mouth breather.

Just how many times is the "boyfriend" the one that does such things...some women are not a normal human...no animal does that to their offspring, and in fact will fight to the death if possible to protect their young....

Reminds me of when a new male lion takes over a pride the first thing he does is kill all the babies from the previous male.

This crime calls for Vlad's type of cruel and unusual punishment:

Piano wire for this coward.

I assume you are thinking what I am: a large block of ice, sit him on it naked with his genitals tied by the piano wire to a tree overhead. Slow and painful death with him screaming.

Could? Could face life in prison? He should be facing the Hangman's noose!

We’re not a serious society.

This sort of thing happens and we’re discussing what we think should happen to the perpetrator. When we all know that the perpetrator will be tried and incarcerated for the indeterminate future. All at significant public expense.

100 years ago there would not be much of a discussion of what should happen. There would just be a quick consensus on who would go fetch the rope.

You nailed it - these morons have gone feral.

We need more than a political awakening - our civilization needs a spiritual and moral reawakening.

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 bet if this kid was being homeschooled the child services would have been all over this guy and the little boy would have been in foster care.

He needs to feel the pain... send him to Fargo and lower him slowly feet first into the chipper.

The guy looks drugged out or retarded.

Looks like a Juggalo. Pretty much the same thing. They're all over Michigan.

What it is really is Mom and Dad did not do this thing called “Get Married” then this thing called “have children”. Or am I just old fashion?

You may be "old fashioned" ... but it is a grievous error to equat "new" with "good", and "old" with "bad". Yet that is the primary error of the current age.

The idea of raising children in stable homes is old for the very good and practical reason that it is CORRECT.

Actually, since most guys in the slammer were abused as kids they know what to do with excrement like this.
