In what police believe may have been a barbaric act of revenge, a badly burned 5-year-old Louisiana boy was found dead, tied to a leather chair, with a cord around his neck. Preliminary observations suggest the boy was burned while he was alive.
^ This thread title almost made me throw up, and after doing a little research on this, I really did. I am very interested in burn injuries and have researched them thoroughly, and am absolutely sickened that a ("*man") could do that to his own child, although I am aware that it has and does happen i.e. Charles Rothenberg pouring petrol on his son David Rothenberg in 1983? to get back at his wife for some dumb reason that did not justify what he did to David. Nothing could justify what he did. Sadly, in the Rothenberg case Charles only received a few years in prison and was let out. Since then he has been in more trouble and is now in prison for life, I think.
Happily, Terrence Carter is on Death Row in Louisiana for what he did to his son Corinthian Houston.

It says this about Corinthian:
The boy suffered 3rd- and 4th-degree burns over 54 % of his body and
likely died within a minute, authorities have said.
