Jayceon Chrystie Beat to Death by Father

In August 2015, 4-month-old Jayceon Chrystie was beaten to death in the backseat of his father’s car as he drove down the road. Daniel Cox swung his fists, striking the baby in the head or chest, then turned around to dance to the music playing.

The day before the fatal beating, Jayceon’s mother, Kimberly Ann Chrystie, requested an order of protection against the man.

Cox drove the baby to Kimberly’s house, dropping him off in the driveway. When Kimberly picked up her baby, he was “black and blue” and not breathing. The baby’s right eye was swollen shut, his cheek was swollen and he suffered horrific bruising on his buttocks and back. Jayceon was removed from life support two days later.

Witnesses called the police after seeing Cox striking the baby as he drove down the road. About 15-minutes later, Chrystie called the police to report her son’s injuries.

Cox was arrested and charged with murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility in 2035.

Father Discovers Ex-Wife is Abusing Their 16-Month-Old

In May 2017, Jerrica Lackey’s ex-husband made a horrific discovery: she was sexually abusing their 16-month-old daughter. He made the discovery when he asked to borrow the woman’s phone.

The man confronted Lackey, which led her to make the 911 call. Lackey admitted to sexually abusing the infant during a 911 call.

The Oklahoma woman will spend 25-years in federal prison for recording herself sexually assaulting her daughter, then sending photos and videos of the despicable act to her boyfriend.

During her trial, she said she molested the baby to appease her long-distance boyfriend who had asked her to make the videos. She told the court that he would punish her if she did not send videos.

Distraught His Wife Was Leaving, Man Murders, Dismembers 3-Year-Old Son

When Nataliya Cramer told her husband, Jeremy Brent Cramer, that she was leaving him, he murdered their 3-year-old in a Montana field.

The 38-year-old monster drove Broderick to a remote field in Anaconda, Montana where he attacked his son. He struck the boy in the head with a rock, killing him instantly.

Yet, Cramer continued taking his anger out on the boy, cutting his throat so severely he nearly severed his head from his body. Cramer removed the boy’s internal organs and his heart, which police found close by the body. He then cut the boy’s body in half and placed the halves beside one other. Cramer then washed the blood off of his body at a gas station.

Cramer pleaded guilty to the crime after prosecutors took the death penalty off the table. He will spend the rest of his life in prison for the murder.
