Man charged with assaulting Mich. boy found dead

It should have read like this:

Assaulted Mich. Boy Found Dead. Man Charged.

Misleading headline...

Boy was found dead, who according to charges filed had been abused in the recent past.

The alleged perp was charged with the prior abuse about the time the boy’s body was found.

The perp is not dead.

Have yet to see charges filed for murdering the boy.

The boy was found dead not the male who killed him

Most misleading headline, ever.

Yep.. thanks.. got it.

Wish we had a “remove” or “edit” option for our posts.

Talk about a misleading title. Where did the author go to school ?

It seems it has misled at least the first few posters.

The headline is open to interpretation.

The headline is an example of GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.

Communication is the purpose of an 'article'. Making ambiguous statements seems counter to effective communication.

I THINK you can ask the mods to remove it, if you can get their attention by pinging admin moderator and requesting it.

At least that way you won’t get so many replies after you already know.

It’s completely backwards.

True. 'Man' is used as the 'subject noun' when the sentence should have started with 'boy'.

The sentence is grammatically incorrect beyond a shadow of a doubt. It cannot be read 'properly'.

You mean 'allegedly' killed him. They haven't even charged him yet.

There are few things more dangerous than the English language in the hands of an amateur...

Or a politician.

yeah it does sound like the man was found dead. Maybe someone like the boy’s real dad will do the job

These monsters that like to show how tough they are by beating on children can burn in hell. Keep your mitts off other people’s children you oafs

I agree. Women who stay with any man who is unkind, never mind violent, towards their child should leave him/kick him out in the LEAST. I know morals are dead in most folk’s minds today, but just imagine if these women made a man WAIT to get his sex...she’d find out 99% didn’t give a damn about her...only the sex. Then if she never found that 1% at least she could raise her child in an environment free of a sex crazed dog.

Headline just ain’t right
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The ‘IDIOTS’, (yes idiots, after all this is AP (used to mean something), and there must be editors, copy writers and at least one or two semi intellects in the ‘chain of custody’ regarding this story.

He has all the right words, amazing what a SIMPLE realignment and comma can provide:

“Mich. boy found dead, man charged with assault(ing)”

And THEY make the big bucks and (supposedly) influence people.
