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.

If true, then a question he will need to answer is “What do you want for that last meal ?”

Why not the death penalty? (cause the kid is only 4 years removed from an abortion scenario?)

Another mother brings another dirtbag into her child’s life.

“Thanks, Mom.”

What could possibly go through a person’s mind to do something like this to a 4 year old? I know kids can get on your nerves, but this is just inhuman.

Except if the gallows happens to be outside.

Just had a case in Pgh. where the scum raped his 18 mo. old daughter, took her out into near zero temps and left her to freeze to death.

The jury convicted but wouldn't impose the death penalty.

bullet.brain.

They found the body of a 6 year old at a park in Wylie Tx... he’s the size of a 3 year old. They’re looking for anyone who might know something about him. He might have been fed through a feeding tube they said.

I think I see what you are saying. When the governor deals with this guy’s execution date he’ll have to wonder about the justice of this man getting death while a bit more than 48 months earlier the boy could have been torn to pieces and removed from his mother without a peep of publicity or penalties.

People who do things like this need to formally have their membership in the human race revoked. He belongs in a pound, with the pit bulls who ripped kid’s face off, waiting a day or two until the vet gets there to euthanize him with a $5 dollar shot. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for terating these people like human beings, beyond a quick trial to determine that they really did what they’re accused of.

The death penalty should be brought in.

Multiple crimes against the child.

I call for putting this piece of bovine excrement in a pen with several of Michael Vick’s pit bulls.

Dominick Calhoun didn’t have the luxury of any last requests, neither should the POS that murdered him.

Anybody to help here? Who are these people; it cannot be the first time this child abused! A Governement social worker 'checking in here' or what?

How does this happen - never mind; I know 'how' and why. That these people still walk our streets is what I don't understand.
