Child Abuse

Foster parents charged with horrific child abuse and torture

Foster parents are supposed to keep children safe. Where did the system go so horribly wrong, that Child Services would place a baby in the care of a woman and her boyfriend who brutalized, tortured and killed this poor little guy.

Her boyfriend, Lemar Martin, 25, was charged with assault and endangering a child’s welfare, as well as criminal possession of marijuana. The three lived in an apartment on Patchen Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

An autopsy yesterday found Kyle died from “multiple blunt impact injuries,” said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner. Police said more charges are pending.

The Associated Press reported that police said the boy had horrific signs of abuse, including a broken leg, and apparently had been sodomized before he died.

Cheatham’s and Martin’s relatives could not be reached yesterday.

i I do not understand, if u dont want a baby, then why have one and then abuse it, the child abusers in the world are monsters.,they need to be abused the way they abuse the children,threr should be a law passed, that states if u abuse a child , then the abuser shal get the same abuse to them, let them know what it feels like, there IS NO REASON to abuse a child.

They abuse child because the feel power which is a feeling they’re addicted to. They’ll keep abusing until they they get medical help. They probably abuse children because their parents abuse them and they wanted to feel power and feed of that feeling. They are sick but they are dealing this mentally. They’re torturing children for power, not just to kill someone for no reason. I really hate child abuse.

Wow this is very sick to me. People are so f****** horrible. How could someone abuse such a small and innocent child. All these parents who abuse their children should be in jail for life or better yet the death sentence. This just really makes to angry to hear and its disgusting

I don’t understand why do parents abuse their children? I know in the past it would be slightly like disicpline but this is just wrong. it makes me cry and remember my past. Parents who commit child abuse in any form must be in jail for 20 years or more or be excuted this is just wrong.

i dunno…..wat to say…these people should be given the death penalty….a cruel death penalty…and to think that that child had probably gone into their care from another abused home…god bless that child.

I don’t see why people would have to treat their children like crap. Those two should be beaten to death by a black gangbanger for torturing that poor little baby. CAN YOU AT LEAST LOVE YOUR CHILDREN?!!!!!

I wish I could just get my hands on those fuckers. The dude likes pain? Then I’d give him pain…and see how he likes it. And I wouldn’t exclude that vile fat w**** so-called mom; in fact, let’s hope to God that their inmates would give them a huge taste of their own medicine cuz even inmates hate child abusers and baby killers! As for Kyle, R.I.P. little man, at least you’re safe now.

My two grandchildren were taken from my daughter in one state after she fled from another state under whose Child Protective Services watch they were under. They were abused in two foster homes in a row and in the the third there is an allegation of sexual abuse by a foster boy of the young girl that to this day they have not investigated. In the second abusive home the Foster parent’s cut off my calls, then late at night the girl called me and said she snuck up and that her and her little brother were hungry “they have food but they don’t let me and XX eat it.” She said her stomach hurts so bad and cried for help. I frantically called the Foster Parents who never returned my calls or answered my pleas while I frantically called their social worker who never called me back. By the next day I tried to call the worker’s supervisor and accidently left a message pleading for help on another social worker’s phone. All out of state calls to Missouri’s Child Abuse Hotlines are blocked. I think the accidental call to another worker worked because the next day they were pulled out of that home for systematically and purposely starving these children. The little boy ate for three days after…my heart is sooo broken. Their social worker never called me back. I am so angry at a system that abuses these children as much as the places they were taken from. Unbelievably it has only gotten worse…they seal it all in a veil of secrecy and hide it from families. Any families with children in foster care should keep a close vigil till other family members can adopt them. NEVER TRUST THEM
