Ugh! WHY?!?!
If you can't handle your kid, just freaking leave! Tons of less than stellar parents don't smother their babies, they just *go*. That's not fantastic, but it's preferable to murder. :-(
Based on a couple of reports linked upthread there was more going on in that house than a parent being at wits end with an unruly child. I suspect there was a history of abuse. Maybe it wasn't severe (until the last night) but it was there.
When the daycare provider took Tristan to the hospital because of the bruises she saw on his head a golden opportunity was missed to remove him from his home or at least to put the family under supervision. But in any case something was going on prior, something worse than an isolated incident.
No way do I see this as a case where a formerly loving father just lost it one night.
:moo:
Oh, I completely agree that this wasn't a one time "snap". I just wish he and mom would have F'ed off out of Tristan's life the moment they realized they had no interest in doing what it takes to raise a child. He'd be an orphan, but alive.
Police said Tuesday that the remains found in a lake in northern Wake County late last year belong to Tristan Blue, a Raleigh 2-year-old who went missing in December.
Family members reported Tristan, who was two months shy of his third birthday, missing from a southwest Raleigh apartment early on Christmas Eve.
A day later, investigators said they believed the boy was dead, and his parents, Steven Daniel Blue, 31, and Briana Loriel Dangerfield, 25, were arrested.

I can't even put together the thoughts of Tristan's face and the words "badly decomposed ".... Just. ..no..
I would have loved him.
A Raleigh toddler whose remains were found in a lake in northern Wake County in late 2014 showed evidence of beating, burning and possible dismemberment, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday...
The boy's skull was fractured, the skin on his left arm had been cut through and his feet showed "extensive fragmentation with exposed tendons, fractured bones and irregular defects," according to the autopsy. Burns were noted on his skull, feet and fingers of his right hand.
"The condition and disposal of the remains indicate a homicidal intent," the medical examiner wrote, but no cause of death could be determined because of the condition of the remains.
