Father Nearly Beats His 2 Year Old to Death Teaching Him to Box
http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/08/05/...ex.html?hpt=T2 Miami, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida man who admitted to the near-fatal beating of his 2-year-old son while teaching him how to box remained behind bars Thursday after a judge charged him with second-degree murder and denied him bond. Lee Willie Dejesus, 23, of Homestead, appeared in court Wednesday night wearing a green protective vest, reserved for those on suicide watch, reported CNN affiliate WFOR. His son -- identified by CNN affiliate WSVN as Willy Brown -- was on life support Wednesday and not expected to recover from his injuries, said Ed Griffith, spokesman for the Miami-Dade state attorney's office. Prosecutors said they plan to file first-degree murder charges once the child dies. Miami-Dade police said Dejesus was watching the child while his mother was at work Monday night. He told police that he put on boxing gloves and struck the child about 15 times on his face, head, torso and shoulders over a period of 15 minutes, punching him so hard at one point that the boy fell off the bed and struck his head on the tile floor. The child was rushed to Children's Hospital where he underwent surgery for bleeding on the brain. Griffith said the boy may be brain dead. A criminal complaint alleges that Dejesus waited to call for medical help for as long as an hour after the boy became unresponsive. He eventually called 911 after the boy's lips became blue, according to the complaint. Dejesus initially told police that the boy was beaten by a babysitter before admitting he did it, the complaint says. |

As bad as it sounds... It may not be so bad. I'd play with my 2yo with boxing gloves. more pushing him with hits instead of actual hits. Whatever, the case... It sounds like it'd be an aweful ordeal to go through. Playful game that went wrong.
I'd see if there was actual other damage to indicate that the little boy was hit too hard. But if the only injury was head trauma because of the fall this might be a game each one of us dad's would play with our kids. |

I know it sounds bad... But push hits can be exagerrated as "struck him so hard". You guys never played boxing with your son(s)? You know how they like to get hit softly and fall around and stuff. How do we know this isn't the case?
This sounds like playing going wrong. If the kid wasn't on the bed, we might not even be hearing this story. Now if the report is actual factual with HARD (instead of playful soft) hitting to head, torso, etc, then I'm with you guys. But I'd feel horrible if this was pent against me and all I was doing was (gently) playing with my kids and the story got twisted. |

Like I said, if there was actual injury caused by the punching itself, that's different, but we can't tell that from the article. |

But if its just soft play fighting and the kid is laughing and enjoying it, then I see no problem.
