32-year-old Brice Bainum is being held in the LaPorte County Jail on a $1,000,005 cash-only bond. He’s also charged with interference with the reporting of a crime in connection with the March 2 death of 5-year-old Augustus Williams.

Glad the mother is also being charged.
Too often the mother of the helpless little ones claims ignorance, or fear of the boyfriend-- when it's not impossible to escape when he is away, or better yet --not date him and invite him into your home in the first place !!! :mad:

Sorry little Augustus, what a horror your short life was !

From the link in the first post :
"According to court paperwork, a neighbor who lives above the apartment told police that she heard the voice of a little boy saying, “No, please stop, I will be a good boy.”

She also said Bainum had a history of becoming jealous when she showed too much affection toward her son and had a history of cruelly punishing him."


NOW she says she was afraid of BB; but for how long had he been abusing both of them ?
Did HL turn a blind eye ?
Since they're charging her as well, does LE think she may have exaggerated or even lied about being afraid of BB ?

I looked around but cannot find a photo of Augustus.
Here's a thought --- did he strongly resemble his bio dad and did that infuriate BB even more ?
Has the bio dad spoken up yet ?
This seems to be a familiar story... mom breaks up with the bio dad, get a new boyfriend.
Boyfriend kills the kid(s).
Over and over.
Omo.
