A Knoxville man left to watch over his girlfriend's 11-year-old son while she was at work beat the boy to death over a span of nine hours on Saturday, according to Pittsburgh police.
The 29-year-old boyfriend, Anthony Bush, told police that he began beating the boy, Donovan McKee, with wooden sticks shortly after noon when Donovan failed to vacuum their apartment at 107 Knox Ave. in Beltzhoover as Mr. Bush had instructed, according to a police criminal complaint. The beatings, Mr. Bush told police, lasted until about 9 p.m.
"During the beatings, at times, the sticks would break and Bush would order Donovan to clean up the pieces of the broken sticks," the complaint states, "Bush stated he would take breaks, get new sticks, and continue beating the child throughout the day."
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office has ruled Donovan's death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to the head, trunk and extremities.
Mr. Bush, who has been charged with endangering the welfare of children and criminal homicide, told police he used at least three sticks, and that he struck Donovan with at least "one clean" head shot during the incident, according to the complaint. Donovan's 5-year-old brother was home at the time and witnessed some of the attacks, but was not harmed, according to the police.
Mr. Bush told police he had been having problems with Donovan lately and knew that he was going to have to discipline him for his behavior. He also told police he had to wait until after the boy's mother, Cynthia McKee, left for work because she often stopped him when he disciplined the children.
Mr. Bush lived at the apartment with Ms. McKee and her sons.

However, thinking further about it, I'm less surprised. Not because of abuse cases, but insurance money and "getting rid of burdens". Diane Downs type of situations.
GASP!
RIP Donovan
Animals. Rabid animals. I include the “mother.”
They should be treated as such...
I’m guessing Cardassian-Klingon.

Better that a millstone......
:-(
I want both the boy friend and mother to be beaten then revived beaten again revived and shot revived and shot again and then left to die.
Pinky’s got a lot of hot dates waiting, just before the Cons finish him off.
It is not males, it is ‘not the father’.
If you study primates the ‘not the father’ will almost always beat or kill their not the spring.
A guy named Desmond Morse (sp) wrote a series of books viewing humans as animals (he was an animal specialist). Very interesting.
The ‘not the father’ in most primate cultures killed or damaged the other man’s offspring.
The bottom line, biological father and mother is the optimum place for offspring.
We are not animals. Yes a committed loving marriage is the best place for children. However, you are smearing all the wonderful adoptive fathers and stepfathers that love their non biological children as their own.
Cherry, I have read back on some of your posts. Whatever your problems with the men in your life you would be well served to stop projecting them on all men.
You are correct.
I guess I did not make myself clear.
Mores(sp) wrote a series of books as though humans were animals, there were some interesting conclusions.
Biological men treat their off spring very differently than non biological men.
If you watch these issue it is almost never the biological man who is abusive but the not the biological man in the child’s life.
Not really. Most abuse and killing of young children is done by non biological males that are involved with the mother. They usually resent the attention that women give the young children, since they are not their own offspring. Even natural fathers get jealous of a mother’s attention for her children.
There is a reason that orphanages were always considered (and mostly were) evil. A genetic interest in your own offspring is natural. To feel about children as you would your own offspring is not natural. You’re designed to be attached to your own offspring-—women much more than males because of their hormones in giving birth and their nature. Males need more incentive to care for children—and if they are not moral, they will not care for the kids.
Godly people only care and can possibly love other people’s kids—but never as much as their mother should. The mother needs to be in prison also.
The conclusion drawn in the study does not prove causation.
Men like this prey on single women with children. The fact they they aren’t bio children does not breed the violence.
However, in Cherry’s first post she outright slanders all men by saying they shouldn’t be left alone with a child not biologically connected to them. Sorry adoptive fathers, I guess you can’t be trusted.
At this very moment my 7 year old godson is asleep on my couch while his mother attends her grandfathers funeral and his father is serving in Kuwait. He is in the safest place in the world for him besides being with his Mom and Dad. This “non-biological” male is the big dog in this house and he will kill anyone who would do this child harm.
Your broad brush was if not ludicrous was at least maliscious, there are many men out here who understand the need to protect those entrusted to our care. He comes to me alot because dad is not available right now and he needs a males’ guidance for things mommy cannot understand. God forbid someone who would do him harm or any of my God children, my children, or my grandchildren. Death will not come easy for them! Prison does not scare me. All the children are precious!
In Donovans’ case, he had an abusive mother, neglect is child abuse, who chose to lie down with dogs and Donavan paid the price for her neglect and gross stupidity.
Any man who would harm a child is lower than the animals and deserves whatever and as much pain and suffering as can be inflicted.
What an ugly, bigoted post.
When I was a (male) teenager I used to babysit the neighbors' younger kids. Somehow I managed to avoid beating them to death, despite what you apparently believe is my defective "nature."
Take your misandry and shove it.
When my son was young(gonna be 40 soon) I always tried to get some of the jr. High teens from church to babysit. They played with him, read, spent time etc. The girls just were on the phone or tried to sneak in their boyfriends.
Bush’s fault.
Bush’s fault.
