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.
I have 3 year-old and 5 year-old sons and this story makes me sick.
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.
It makes me sick too. Anything in the news involving kids seems to make me mad. lol.
I have neices and nephews. I can’t imagine wanting to hurt them.
Sounds like a prime candidate for a Pinata Party.
Could? Could face life in prison? He should be facing the Hangman's noose!
I’ll handle it. it would be my pleasure.
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.
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.
Looks like a Juggalo. Pretty much the same thing. They're all over Michigan.
There is definitely a story there with the inaction of Child Services and drugs involved
So, how much is this d-bag going to cost us for the next 50 years?
Hang him NOW!
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.
No, he should be put to death. Period.
Actually, since most guys in the slammer were abused as kids they know what to do with excrement like this.
skin that POS alive... then set his wretched azz n fire!!!
