Relatives raise concern about abused toddler a bit late
The relatives of a 20-month-old who was beaten to death now have 20/20 hindsight as they realize they had concerns for the child’s safety.
Anthony Weakfall Jr. was charged with second-degree murder in the beating of Imani Jennings. Police said Weakfall beat the toddler with a metal rod, cable wire and his hand for an hour after she urinated on the floor Friday morning. He then left for school.
Police said the toddler’s mother, 18-year-old Cherron Patterson, and Weakfall returned from school that day to find the child’s lifeless body.
Investigators said they also learned that for the last two weeks Patterson and Weakfall went to school and left the child home alone with only a bowl of chicken nuggets and a glass of milk. The pair also admitted beating the child as a form of discipline when she would have an accident, police said.

Patterson and Weakfall,
Discipline my a**. You two just knocked up each other, the baby came and because she peed on the floor she gets hammered with a rod, wire and Weakfall’s hand?
So you’re telling me you never made your own mess when you were younger? How come you are still alive today?
Weakfall, I so want to tie your boner to a ceiling fan and turn it on full blast so you can experience firsthand the very same excruciating pain the baby went through.
That should teach you to use condoms next time.
Oh, I wish you both a long life and may someone hammer you both to death too.
