Man kills son for eating cake.

[Tanj]

Wisconsin father punched, killed 5-year-old son for eating Father's Day cake, prosecutors say

Travis Stackhouse told police he punched the boy in the stomach [note: said boy was 5 years old] and hit him in the face

his girlfriend often warned him "not to hit the children so hard,"

Stackhouse is being held on a $25,000 bond

For comparison: The woman charged with manslaughter because she got in a fight and someone else shot her in the stomach causing a miscarraige, is on a $50 000 bond.

The girlfriend should also be held accountable and he should have life no question.
Horrific and if he had been warned by the girlfriend often, what that precious little boy must have gone through in his short life defies description.

May he rest in peace in the arms of God his TRUE loving Father.

Why should she be arrested? Women are usually afraid to confront a larger violent man. I had to forgive my own mother for that . She would have never been able to confront my father he outweighed her by 50 lbs and he was muscular.

The child is powerless, the adult is not. The adult doesn't even have to confront the abuser directly- that is what the police are for. Fear does not exonerate adults from doing what needs to be done.

back in the day (50 years ago )the police wouldn’t have arrested a man for beating his wife.

This man didn't murder his child 50 years ago.

He was butt hurt about his little boy eating some of his Father's Day cake. His Father's Day cake.

I want Marilyn Manson to write a song about this.

Why should the girlfriend be charged with anything? She had warned him not to hit the boy, and according to another article she was the one who called 911.

In defense of this boyfriend, it was a cheesecake.

Hopefully you will recognize my attempt a humor...

Did the incidents take place in the same states, with the same laws and precedence?
Because if not, your comparison is useless.
Both these people are pieces of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] and I hope they rot in jail until their cold dead corpse needs to be carried out.

This happens all the time. No surprise. I'm more surprised a black guy is the one that killed the child. If it was a white guy. He would have hid it. And not be charged.

Attempt failed.

This was the very first time he struck the child?
Probably not.

Because this was not an isolated incident, if she had " warned him other times before not to hit so hard"
It doesn't say that it was an abusive relationship so it doesn't necessarily mean he hit anyone else, but obviously he often hit the child- hard.
Shame on anyone who allows this to happen, end of story.

No, I don't.
There is no place for humour with the murder of a child.

No, the girlfriend had "warned him OFTEN not to hit so hard"._
She is an accessory as far as i can see and as someone previously posted, she didn't have to confront him herself, that's why we have police.

Yes, warned him OFTEN we are told.
A case of too little too late as far as ringing the police.

What a racist thing to assume. Are you under the impression that white men never get charged with murder of their children?
