Toddler Killed In Alleged 'Boxing Match' With Adult Man
2-Year-Old Died From Internal Hemorrhaging, Split Liver, Bruised Skull
POSTED: 6:53 a.m. EDT June 11, 2003
GREEN BAY -- A 32-year-old Green Bay man has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of a 2-year-old.
A criminal complaint filed Monday says Wilbur Leslie told police he stayed up late with Taylor Farah Friday night, and started playing a boxing game with him while he changed the boy's diaper.
Leslie said he and Taylor took turns punching one another in the stomach, and Taylor laughed, but Leslie admitted he got carried away and "started hitting Taylor harder each time."
His statement states that the last three or four times, Leslie hit the toddler as hard as he could in the stomach.
An autopsy showed the boy suffered severe internal hemorrhaging, his liver was split in two, and he had a bruised skull.
The complaint says Leslie and his wife have cared for the boy for the past three months, with their own children, while Taylor's mother was working.
Leslie said he didn't mean to hurt Taylor, and considered him part of the family.

Hey, you gotta admit that his "boxing match" story is a lot more original than the inevitable "the baby was sleeping on the sofa and fell 18 inches to the floor, causing massive internal hemorrhaging" excuse these baby beaters usually give to the police.

True. I don't give points for originality, though.
As a parent, this type of thing truly infuriates me.

Brused skull is when the child hit the floor.
If this was one punch the guy was a moron. THE LAST FEW?
This man is a brain dead.
Moms, protect your children.

Don't get me wrong, it infuriates me, too, but it also makes me laugh derisively at the notion that he honestly hopes we're all stupid enough to buy such a ridiculous story.

Madame Dufarge and I have been married for almost thirty-six years and because of problems we both had, we could never have any children.
Every time I read a story like this I burst into tears.
When the tears have run their course, I want to kill the SOB.

I remember the National Geographic documentary on lions from a few years ago. It showed that when new males moved in and took over an existing pride, they would kill all of the cubs so that the females would come into heat and the new males could sire cubs of their own.
With all of these stories in the news, I can't help but believe that there is some residual, instinctive behavior in humans that motivates men to do the same thing.

Kind of like that story in Raleigh where the guy [Campbell?] strangled his fiance a while back.
I honestly think he believed he'd get away with it.

What this man needs is a prairie dog, to complete the picture.
To: chance33_98
Obviously this is a cover story and a lame one at that. No 2-year-old I ever knew would engage in a "stomach punching" contest. Most likely the man was pissed he had to interrupt whatever he was doing to deal with a messy diaper and he took it out on the child.

It's not just the cases in the news. Research shows that step-fathers & step-father-like, live-in boyfriends pose a bigger danger to the children than the other adults in their life. A single mother needs to be very careful about the men she lets into her home.

I'm almost speechless. All I can say is that some people should never have kids.

I know of a case where a guy killed a child by kicking it in the abdomen resulting in a split liver. My feeling is that this kid was hit harder than the creep is letting on. They should just take him out back and shoot him.
To: metesky
Love your wife's moniker....I assume she knits ?..lol
This guy is lying.
Any dad (like me) who plays rough house with a boy toddler basically entails the dad lying on the floor and letting the child jump all over you as they live out their little fantasy of "whupping daddy" or whatvever imaginary combat they are envisioning from cartoons or fairy tales. My 3 year old also likes to pick up sticks in the yard and play "swords"....obviously I don't stick him....you clash sticks and pretend to swashbuckle...lots of posing.
I cannot imagine hitting a child with a punch...as this man described. I don't buy it.
And as usual, not the child's natural father....what are these mothers thinking?

This story and

Yeah, I remember that! I think he tried to say his girlfriend wrapped the phone cord around her neck as she was struggling for air....how retarded does he think people are?
