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.

he doesn't know the difference between respect and fear but he's about to learn all about them in prison for the rest of his life

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.

old FB for Brice

FB of Halie Lewis Note photos of what is probably the now deceased child can be found there and her profile pic frame is noteworthy. It states "#saveourchildren - Pedophile lives don't matter".
