Man Kills Baby Boy for "Acting Like Girl"


PedroJonesx180 (Screengrab) | Advocate.com

A Long Island, N.Y., man stands accused of striking a fatal blow to a 17-month-old boy Sunday because he believed the baby was “acting like a little girl.”

According to WPIX-TV, suspect Pedro Jones, 20, of South Hampton has been charged with first-degree manslaughter for hitting Roy A. Jones so hard with his fists that the infant went into cardiac arrest and died at a local hospital. Police say Jones said he was “trying to make him act like a boy instead of a little girl.”

Jones, who was baby-sitting the infant on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, is described as the boyfriend of the baby’s mother. He is not a member of the tribe, but he lives on the reservation.

Jones pleaded not guilty Monday and is being held without bail on Long Island.

    i have an eighteen month old son, and i swear to god an human being that would even touch a child like he did should be given the death sentence. and not by leathal fucking injection, no small shot and they go to sleep and its all over. give him to the child's parents, and let them do as they please!!!! we wonder why our country is so fucked up? well maybe it has something to do with the fact that for killing an innocent child you can expect to recieve 20 years in prison, 15 years with good behavior and early parol! are you kidding me???? we allow this shit to happen, and do not treat the criminals hard enough to scare other people from doing it! come on America!! grow a pair!!!! an eye for an eye, kill the bastard!!!!

    No matter what the situation is you should never hit an infant that hard. For something that un important. This is unacceptable and is really some bullshit. He needs to rot in hell!
