Potty training is hard enough, and any one in their right mind would know that negative reinforcement is only going to make it harder. Unfortunately, one couple visiting Florida with their 3-year-old son was way out of their minds when they decided to beat their son for peeing his pants.
The beating led to his death, and this poor boy must have suffered imaginably. Not only did they take turns beating him for an hour, but as he lay dying they ordered pizza and watched a movie. Finally, around 5 a.m. the Mean Mom found herself having trouble sleeping because of the boy's wheezes (or maybe her conscience got the best of her, but I doubt it) and called 911.
This is one of those stories that you don't want to think about too much, because that leads to questions like "What was this child's life like before this night?" Thinking about that is enough to make you scream and cry at the same time.
The couple was arrested and charged with child abuse, first-degree murder and child neglect. The man has a history of violence against both women and children. The MM was on suicide watch.
