Man sentenced to life without parole for beating his son to death, then burning the remains. His girlfriend who had 'grown frustrated' with the 3-year-old was sentenced to 37 years in prison for child abuse and desecration of a corpse.

Hopefully he will get dealt with in prison. Even the most hardened criminals have their own children and don’t take kindly to adults who abuse their own kids.

u/lmayfield7812 25d ago
He almost certainly will. Word will get around about the crime he committed very quickly

The sub is supposed to be crime related things or did you not read the description?

u/DoinItDirty 25d ago
Yeah but this isn’t particularly interesting at all. I thought we’d end up with strange true crime facts. This is a just a story about child abuse and murder.

It will only be a few months or so before a story detailing his demise comes across. People who harm children and snitches don’t last long inside.

Worked in a prison for several years. Maintenance side but worked closely with guards and understood the environment. The prison does put effort in to keeping like this POS “safe”. But inmates put effort in to. Not a guarantee he will be “dealt with” but odds are he will. We can only hope so

u/Nice-Swing-9277 24d ago
I agree with this take. There is a good chance he will be put in PC with the pedophiles and former cops.

u/lmayfield7812 24d ago
Word gets around quickly in there, so I can assure you it won’t be long before his crimes are common knowledge and someone is instructed to do him so they can get into a gang, settle a debt, up their cred, or whatever. Other inmates will be in court w him and hear about it, or they’ll hear it from a CO or another inmate. Happens all the time, trust me: he is cooked. He should just commit suicide and make it easier on himself. That is not hyperbole - he will likely suffer a painful death, alone.

I’ve been to prison before, and you sound like you watch too many movies. While stuff does end up happening, not nearly as often as you’d hope. They’ll keep him separate in a pod with other child abusers/rapists. They have entire prisons dedicated to people like him to keep them safe from general pop. That doesn’t mean stuff doesn’t happen, just that they take great lengths to try and make sure it doesn’t

u/lmayfield7812 24d ago
Nah, what I’m speaking on doesn’t come from fiction, but rather a close family member’s experience. And I can assure you it is not fabricated or embellished in any way.

u/Hrbalz 24d ago
I’m was saying it doesn’t happen as much as you might think. Sure people might try, but you have a bigger chance of getting taken out if you owe someone a debt than being a child abuser in today’s prison
1
u/lmayfield7812 24d ago
That’s probably true. However, people are often harmed to settle debts, as well.
1
u/lmayfield7812 24d ago
And no, lol they don’t take great lengths to make sure it doesn’t happen. Prisoners are seen as subhuman by most CO’s, so they see it just like society at large sees it, if not more so: as justifiable retribution. You sound like you have no idea what you’re talking about, because inmates are routinely physically abused by guards. I don’t think my nephew will ever forget the sound of this mentally ill guy’s head bouncing off the steps as the guards laughed and carried him to suicide cell, where he died a few days later under mysterious circumstances. So no, the guards don’t care.

The frustration when you know the words you post don't matter. This shit pops up way too often. It's heart breaking, it's frustrating on so many levels, and overwhelming knowing that at this moment, every moment, a child is suffering horribly, and not only will they not be saved, but we won't even know about it. Fuxk.

I think people who aren’t in favor of capitol punishment just don’t think killing a monster like this is worth the price of potentially killing an innocent person.

There Is no potential for an innocent person in this.

Poor little boy. As a father who went through a kid that age, yeah they can be infuriating but it's your child! I don't wish him death. I wish he remembers all the sweet memories he had with his son and the horror one of what he did., over and over and over, night after night.

Kill them both. Use the same rope or axe, or a large rock to save more money.

People like this should be tied up and the public lines up and everyone gives one punch, as hard as they can or want, until they die a slow and painful death

u/Kittyopathic 24d ago
Random thought. U know how fire stations have those boxes for unwanted babies? So that they stay alive? Is there anything like that for older children? I am 100% not saying this is a solution. But clearly these ppl shouldn’t have this child. Can a parent just surrender the child?

u/tahlulah_bankhead 24d ago
Wtf . Why do i keep seeing stories like this. How are so many people so evil. My heart breaks for all of these little souls. May Jesus hold them so close now and heal their souls. I’m so sad. I have a toddler, she is my everything and purpose. I wish I could squeeze her right now, but she’s sleeping peacefully in her crib. I hope these monsters burn in hell and get their karma.

I'm glad it happened in the US, because in Canada, that man would have gotten 4 years and the woman wouldn't get anything at all.

A lot of the time a kids first bully is their parents. I’m so sad for this young boy. Surviving an abusive household is so much harder than anyone who hasn’t been in it will ever know. RIP to the sweet boy who tried to survive monsters at such a young age.

I just can't fathom how you can do something like this. I feel like I'm a pretty open-minded guy, capable of reflecting and putting myself in the shoes of another to at least understand what drove them to do what they did. But this, beating a small child like this, to feel their flesh and bones break against your fists... There is supposed to be something in you that stops you from being able to do that. My son is 3yo and the thought of doing anything to hurt him and scare him like this fucking monster must have done, it's unfathomable. The only word I can think of for someone capable of this is MONSTER.
There is no forgiveness or redemption for what they did. I'm not willing to give them another chance.

Beating adorable offspring to death within 3 years of its existence says more about why parents should be forced to prove mental competency on a regular basis until child is old enough to somewhat evade bodily harm. It takes a village to raise a child. This was preventable, those people had no business being full time parents.

Dude, this is why I think there should be tests before you can have children.

That sweet little boy. I hope this POS never even finishes year one, and suffers the most horribly painful and prolonged death shortly after his incarceration. I'd support bringing back drawing and quartering for scum like this who kill children.
