Man kills toddler trying to make him act like a boy

[Maren]

Pedro Jones was babysitting his girlfriend's child at the Shinnecock Indian Reservation on Sunday, and killed him "by striking him several times throughout his body with his closed fists and grabbing him by the neck," according to court documents. When asked why, Jones said, "I was trying to make him act like a boy instead of a little girl."

That is just disgusting! I can't imagine the kind of inhuman thing that would beat a baby to death for any reason, let alone one as silly as acting feminine. The article didn't indicate how the child was behaving, but why does this guy think a little boy has to act differently from a girl anyway?

Most dissapointing quote in the article?

Jones, not a member of the Shinnecock Nation, pleaded not-guilty to the charges, and said, "I never struck that kid that hard before. A one-time mistake and I am going to do 20 years."

I am happy to see mom's community is being very supportive...

This quote from grandpa is beautiful and sad "He infiltrated my family through our trust, through the heart of my daughter and then stole the life of her child."

If he struck the baby before, why was Jones left alone with him?

Bury him up to his neck and let the pelting of stones begin.
