(User Submitted) – Pedro Jones was babysitting Roy Jones (no biological relation) at the Shinecock Indian Reservation. When the less-than-two-year-old baby failed to fulfill his caretaker’s idea of what a less-than-two-year-old boy should act like, Pedro Jones began beating the infant with closed fists all over his body and then choking him. The child went into cardiac arrest, and later died at the hospital. "I was trying to make him act like a boy instead of a little girl," Jones explained. "I never struck that kid that hard before. A one-time mistake, and I am going to do 20 years." He told troopers that the little boy had been too feminine and that he'd been trying to toughen Roy up by literally beating the life out of him. "I'm sorry," he said "That's my baby. I loved him to death." Read the full article.
