ORLANDO, Fla. -- An Orange County judge has denied bond for the mother who is accused of beating her 3-year-old son because he wet his pants.
Officials say Robin Greinke, 26, and her boyfriend Steven Neil, 33, beat the young child to death. They both face charges of aggravated child abuse, child neglect and first-degree murder.
WFTV was there when they were taken to jail on first degree murder charges.
Greinke was supposed to appear in court Friday but because she was on suicide watch she did not appear until Saturday morning.
Neil was also denied bond at his first court appearance Friday.
Investigators say Greinke and Neil ate pizza after kicking and beating the boy into the floor and wooden sofa frame. Once questioned by investigators the two admitted to beating the boy because he wet his pants.
Police said they first got a medical call early Tuesday, but an autopsy report proved that the case was a homicide and that Fake's death was caused by blunt-force trauma.
“After we got the word it was not a medical issue, (the mother) basically confessed to what had occurred,” said Detective Jim Solomons of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
According to the arrest report, Greinke told the detectives that Neil was beating her son for about an hour. The report indicated the scenario as "...grabbing and forcibly throwing with velocity Noah Fake's head first into the lower wooded portion of the living room sofa multiple times.”
Detectives said Greinke also admitted she participated in the attack. The arrest report described the participation as "...poking him several times in the middle of his chest, squeezing his facial cheeks very hard and kicking him."
“There is an indication there was alcohol involved during the incident, and the word is the infant soiled his pants, which caused one or both (adults) to become upset,” Solomons said.
The arrest report said Neil denied ever touching the child and further denied drinking alcohol or taking prescription pills. He is being held in jail under no bond, detectives said.
SCUM!!!
Twisted sick world we live in. I cannot wait for Him to come back and make it all okay again.
“Give me 5 minutes alone with them both.”
You can get in line behind me.I wouldn’t plan on finding much left to do after I got done with them.
How About Some "Old Time" Justice!
....in a few short weeks it will be spring. The snows of winter will flow away, the ice will vanish, the air will become soft and balmy.
The annual miracle of the years will awaken and come to pass.
The rivulet will run its soaring course to the sea.
The timid desert flowers will put fourth their tender shoots.
The glorious valleys of this imperial domain will blossom as the rose.
From every tree top, some wild songster will carol his mating song.
Butterflies will sport in the sunshine.
But you will not be here to enjoy it. Because I command the sheriff of the county to lead you away to some remote spot, swing you by the neck from a bough of some sturdy oak and let you hang until you are Dead, Dead, Dead!
You cold-blooded, blood-thirsty, throat-cutting, murdering son of a bitch!
.....Judge Roy Bean
They should have pizza shoved down their throat until they either choke to death or their stomach ruptures and they die a slow painful death of sepsis.
How about we just do it at the same time and get it over with?
I think you’d have to get in line.
Okay, my take is that suicide watch for these two ought to mean the deputies leave the supplies for it in their cell and then watch them do it.
nvestigators said Greinke confessed to the two beating her son to death. The Florida Department of Children and Families said the two were visiting Florida from Illinois.
Deputies were called to a Lake Buena Vista apartment on March 1, and doctors originally thought the child was sick with meningitis because of his bruises. An autopsy showed, however, that he had been killed by blunt-force trauma to his head, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said.
“They explained how they tossed the little boy around,” said homicide detective Chris Dillion. “They were upset with him and they tossed him and spanked him and punched him.”
Detectives said the pair had been drinking and were possibly taking pills before they attacked Noah Fake for an hour. Detectives said Neil convinced Greinke to wait until the next day to call for help. When she noticed Noah wasn’t breathing, they finally called 9-1-1.
“The mother admitted, full confession, how they beat the baby and she was very apologetic, but obviously it’s too late now. He’s gone,” said Dillon.
Detectives said the couple had been dating for a year and a half and that Neil’s former girlfriends said he also beat them and his own biological child.
I swear, these two should be flayed inch by inch. Do not let her committ suicide. That is too easy.
skum of humanity needs to be erased
“ate pizza while her son died”
??
She beat him to death, that should be the headline
Read my last post...it was mommy’s boyfriend again...and he has a history of doing it AND they took him to a doctor on Monday and the doctor said the kid probably had meningitis to explain the bruises.
