I can't find the baby's name in any of the news articles. He was beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend. His injuries are horrible. The said all he did was "tap him on the butt every now and then".

The baby's mother, Crystal Banks, told Sheriff's deputies she didn't know why she let the beatings happen, but said on one occasion Lawrence left marks on the baby and she told him not to hit him anymore. Banks told investigators her boyfriend beat her baby for not eating, not going to sleep or not moving fast enough.
She said she thought Lawrence was jealous of the baby.
"He (the baby) always wanna be up under me," the arrest report said.

Lawrence told investigators he hit the baby with a belt, but not his hands.
I dont beat him, I tap him on the butt every now and then with a belt or something but fist wise or pickin up something heavy, no," he said, according to an arrest report. Lawrence said the last time the baby had "a whoopin was "3 or 4 days ago before Christmas when he was hollerin and throwin things around,"
