OMG. There’s got to be much more to this story.

From the link - Warning!! Graphic!!!

Investigators at the home discovered blood on a counter and sink in a bathroom, damage to the exterior of the bathroom door, blood stains on multiple walls and what appeared to be three small blunts of suspected marijuana.

Montrell Dionte Jolly allegedly told police that he was attempting to discipline the boy by forcing him to squat against a wall for a prolonged period. He allowed the child to use the bathroom but grew angry when the boy sat down to urinate instead of standing up, prosecutors allege, according to the newspaper.

Authorities say Jolly then forced the boy to continue squatting against the wall. Jolly claims he later found the boy unresponsive on the floor and attempted to resuscitate him using cold water

Always with the cold water, or an ice bath after they have beaten a child to death.
Always the same old story.
I'm so sick of hearing it.

Sleep tight little one, you're safe now. X

LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Montrell Dionte Jolly faces a murder charge for the second time in his 33 years of life.

Jolly appeared for his initial hearing Monday for Tippecanoe County charges of murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in catastrophic injuries, aggravated battery and battery resulting in death to a person younger than 14. He also faces a sentence-enhancing charge of being a habitual offender.

At his initial hearing, Jolly stood in front of the camera at the jail, his arms crossed, while Tippecanoe County Magistrate Sarah Wyatt at the courthouse read the charges and possible penalties if he is convicted, including between 45 and 65 years in prison for murder and possibly an additional eight to 20 years in prison if he's convicted of being a habitual offender.
[snip]
Jolly has been in jail without bond since July 31, when police arrested him on a warrant on a petition to revoke his probation on a possession of meth conviction. His evidentiary hearing on that petition is Wednesday.
[snip]
In January 2011, Jolly was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of robbery and two counts of assisting a criminal for a January 2009 killing in Lake County. He pleaded guilty to one count of assisting a criminal and other charges were dismissed.
4-year-old's accused killer faces up to 85 years in prison if convicted

Can someone tell me how this methed up dude came to have his precious 4 year old nephew in his care and custody in the first place?? Seriously, who thought it was a smart move to leave this baby in this career criminal's hands??

Damn that graphic description of where the blood was located put an image in my head that I now can't unsee.

 

[Bostongirl]

Disciplining for putting shoes on wrong feet and using the bathroom sitting down. Has this person never been around a child? These are normal activities for any child. Why would he need discipline for anything??

This poor little boy, doing what a four year-old should do but for some reason being punished. He must’ve been so confused and scared. This makes me so upset. Sad. Angry. Heartbroken.

I’m so sorry Ke’Andre. You deserved better. Rest in peace little angel.

Well, I too now have an image in my head if what happened to that baby. sounds like he lost complete control. AND HE WAS PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED FOR MURDER. I have no tolerance for this and it makes me angry- if only some of us could get our hand on him!!
