This precious little boy was used as a punching bag. I pray to God that ALL who are responsible will be convicted and never see the outside of a prison again.

BBM - from the first article ..."In court Friday, prosecutors said that Stevens allowed Flood to beat Beckford with a leather belt and martial arts baton. The 14-month-old lost chunks of skin in the abuse, according to prosecutors."

OMG!!! :tantrum: My heart is just breaking! That poor little angel. I truly hope they get their's in prison...ten fold! :steamed:

RIP Angel :rose: - you are in a much better place.
 
Poor little man. How disgusting a human being could treat a child like that? I will NEVER understand. RIP Sweet baby boy
 
It's rare that I'm moved to tears but I just can't help myself here. That poor poor baby. Omg, the suffering and pain he endured at the hands of these evil people just sickens me.
 
I wish there were an automatic, federal death sentence in such cases. One that is enforced within the first year after being found guilty.

Thank you borndem for keeping us updated on yet another heartbreaking and infuriating case....

From your link:

(snip)

Stevens also agreed to cooperate and be truthful in any proceedings against that man, who is expected to face prosecution soon in Franklin County.

Authorities needed the mother's help to prosecute the man, who has been jailed on a suspected probation violation on a gun charge but is not yet charged in this case, county Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said. He said the case could be presented to a grand jury as soon as next week.

So, this "mom" is getting a sweetheart of a deal because the State needs her.

Justice can be hollow and empty for the victims - and this is a perfect example.

Disgusted. :moo:

:tantrum:

Yep, kimi, you're right -- the only thing that would make a deal for her a bit less maddening is that maybe he treated her just as badly and she had to wait until she was with LE to say anything. She looks like she's about 14 years old to me... No excuses, absolutely not, but maybe there is more than one awful story here... but I doubt it... Grrrrrrr.
 
Yet one more sweet angel where there are already so many, so many. But they're happy & running & jumping & eating ice cream and in the palm of His hand.
 
Mom asks to withdraw plea in death of son found in backpack - December 9

The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead inside a backpack in an Ohio creek has asked to withdraw her guilty plea, arguing she suffered from battered woman syndrome.

Stevens filed a motion to withdraw the plea Tuesday, saying domestic violence she suffered in Maryland wasn't properly investigated before she pleaded guilty.

Accused child killer found incompetent to stand trial

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/03/31/accused-child-killer-incompetent.html#

A Franklin County judge ruled Thursday that a man accused in the beating death of a 14-month-old boy is incompetent to stand trial.

Kurt A. Flood, 25, will be committed to Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare, a state psychiatric hospital on the Hilltop, for treatment aimed at restoring his competency within one year, Common Pleas Judge Michael J. Holbrook ruled.

The child's mother, Dainesha Stevens, 26, told investigators that Flood was trying to beat demons out of the toddler. She pleaded guilty in March 2015 to involuntary manslaughter for permitting the abuse and to tampering with evidence for helping dispose of the boy's body in the East Side creek. She is scheduled for sentencing in June.

Mother testifies against man accused of beating toddler to death with hairbrush

Under questioning from Assistant Prosecutor James Lowe, Stevens admitted that she didn’t protect Cameron from the beatings that began shortly after they moved into Flood’s Kornwal Drive home, and never told Flood not to hit her children. She, her son and her 6-year-old daughter moved to Columbus from Maryland on Dec. 15, 2014, to escape a difficult relationship with the children’s father. Flood, an old friend, offered to take them in, she said.

Flood quickly grew angry over her son’s crying, she said, telling her that Cameron “had a demon in him” and needed to be punished.

Accused killer denies beating toddler, admits tossing body in creek

During cross-examination by Assistant Prosecutor Jennifer Rausch, Flood continued to deny being the killer, insisting that he got involved after the death to assist his friend.

“At the time, I’m trying to help this young lady,” he said. “It seemed like her luck was just bad. So I was like, ‘Well, the only thing we can do now is get rid of the child.’ It’s a horrifying act. I’m sure everyone is like, ‘Oh, my God.’”

This week, a jury considered the case against Flood for more than 13 hours, before telling a judge that they had found him guilty on the lesser charges, but were deadlocked on the murder count.

The judge urged them to keep working, and after three more hours, the jury returned guilty on all counts.

Flood faces a mandatory life sentence, with no chance of parole for as many as 19 years, when he is sentenced February 22. Stevens is to be sentenced in June.
