You have to feel bad for this mother, who not only lost her child, but knows that she’s the reason that the baby is gone. Yea, she did kill him, but there is a difference between an accident and deliberate neglect. As Dr. Boyce points out, we have to be careful about how we discipline our kids and make sure we don’t put them in harms way accidentally. This woman may have allowed her anger to enter into her discipline, causing her to do something that simply can’t be taken back.
May her baby rest in peace, and may all of us learn how to discipline our kids without harming them. This tragedy was just senseless. Dr. Boyce Watkins says more:
A mother in Houston is facing years in prison for beating her four-year old son until he was dead. The boy wet himself in the car, and his mother was so angry that she beat him until he stopped breathing.
Vastie Coleman, a 27-year old woman, is accused of beating her son Kyron Barnes with a cord in the bathtub. She beat him 20 times, after which, he died.
“I did it, I beat him, it’s all my fault and I don’t care what happens to me,” Coleman allegedly told EMS workers who arrived at her house.

I have a five year old daughter. I think that the mother created the situation by not taking her child to the potty before the car ride. You can’t punish a child for your mistakes.

A tragedy indeed, in-fact there are two tragedies in this story! An innocent black man is charged with the same crimes of the culprit, jailed and facing trial for doing nothing!
It seems awfully strange that no one has stepped up to challenge this blatant injustice played out by the police and the courts! The question is; why was her boyfriend arrested in the first place?
The police took the stand and admitted that the accused female and culprit clearly stated to him, (officer) that her boyfriend played not part in her actions! So why was he arrested? The answer is simple . . . for doing nothing!
I didn’t know that doing nothing was a crime. America does not arrest and charge their white citizens for the crimes they witnessed and did nothing!
Black men are arrested in record numbers just for being black! Black males are arrested by default in this country! I guess, if you are a black male; by default, you are a criminal!
What troubles me is that Dr. Boyce, like so many other Americans; readily accepts the placement of black males in jails or prisons without rhyme or reason and certainly without question!
The Prosecutor’s argument is the fact that he was her boyfriend; he was there and didn’t do anything to prevent the crime from taking place! A weak argument for sure, but strong enough to get a conviction on a black man! The law states that it only takes one witness to get a conviction. (On a black man)
So the Prosecutor conveniently discovered an unreliable, (paid informant) to point a finger at the black male with an accusation favorable to the Prosecution!
The arresting officer along with several witnesses; including the culprit, testified that this black male did nothing but stand by observing! Why is this young black man still in confinement and facing trial? ONLY IN AMERICA!!!
“I GUESS INJUSTICE AGAINST BLACK MALES IS NOT CONSIDERED NEWS WORTHY!”
“I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don’t see any American dream–I see an American nightmare.” ― Malcolm X
The white female prosecutor contends that because a black male was present and made no effort to stop the crime he is equally as guilty of aggravated assault and child abuse!
Until this is resolved He is being charged, detained awaiting trial!
How ironic and hypocritical is this?
I have never heard of any white person charged with the crime for witnessing it, and not doing anything to stop it! Maybe it’s just a black thing, what do I know? White Americans will not tolerate such a ridiculous attack on their liberties.
Okay, maybe it’s me; I’m crazy for even noticing this grave injustice!
Sure . . . maybe he could have or should have done something, but to be charged with the crime, jailed and forced to go to trial to prove his innocents, is absolutely absurd and a miscarriage of justice!
If he Coulda-woulda-shoulda; has no bearing on facts!
Dr. Boyce bring these points up in your next commentary covering this event!

I can’t imagine being that angry to beat my child to death” I have trouble raising my voice with out guilt. People need to learn what warrants discipline, everything that upsets is not punishable

BLACK WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOO HARSH ON THEIR
CHILDREN.THIS HAS MADE THEM ANGRY, REBELLIOUS AND
VIOLENT. MAYBE ONE REASON WHY SO MANY ARE GETTING
SHOT AND KILLED IN THE GHETTO. WE NEED BETTER SUPPORT FROM FATHERS.!!!

NOBODY on this planet has been more HARSH, VIOLENT and DIRTY on Black children, like the racist enslaver!
This b*****d would IMPREGNATE our women for his economic greed. He would hang her after he RAPED her, and would CUT THE BABY FROM THE WOMB of the dead woman, as she hung from a tree!!!
HE WOULD STOMP THE BABY TO DEATH, IF THE BABY WAS TOO ‘DARK’! Our children were taken away from them, when the caucasoids came up with the ‘welfare system’ and urban removal, the government REMOVED the Black man from the home, so Black women could receive stamps and money.
The government aka willie lynch, tore down (REMOVED) the Black man’s businesses, and replaced them with government apartments for single Black women to keep the Black man out of the home.
This turned the Black woman against the Black man, and her Black son! I have talked to some of our youth on the street and the young brothers tell me, that THEIR MOTHERS were the ones to put them out! They’re no good ‘boy’friends didn’t want to take care of another man’s child; therefore, she would put out the son! They always let the girl stay because the no good ‘boy’friend, who just got out of prison, would probably molest her!
THERE’S MORE TO THIS SELF-HATE MADNESS, THAT MEETS THE EYE! The child grows up to HATE his mother and father; then the self-hate, gang violence and NO LOVE for one another takes form!
THE DYING RESULTS ARE IN CHICAGO, PHILLY, D.C., DETROIT, L.A., etc.
KNOW YOUR TRUE OURstory!!!

I hope so too, ignorant sow. Little kids wet themselves, vomit and do all kinds of sh* not on purpose. It takes a while for a kid to get their bladder control. Is it that big of an inconvenience to wash his little b**t and let him wear pull ups until his bladder is more in control. WTF is wrong with people. I swear, people should undergo complete psychological battery of tests, child development courses and be licensed before having a child. There are so many people that want kids and its always this ignorant a** fools that have them and abuse them.
This stupid lady is not crying for the baby, she’s crying because she’s gonna get jail time.

Another dumb negroid killing her child over some materialistic bullshyt!
During our forced enslavement the caucasoid slave maker would hire negroid ‘slave beaters’ to beat other slaves when they became ‘unruly’. He would beat them to death or beat them so bad they would not be able to work any longer, than they would be hung!
Nothing has changed today because the unuted snakes of azzholes aka ‘willie lynch’ is causing all this confusion, chaos, racism, and hypocrisy around the world!
ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS GET SOME AMONIA AND CLEAN THE d**n CAR SEAT OFF!
NEGROID FEMALES ARE SO MATERIALISTIC JUST LIKE THEIR CAUCASOID COUNTERPARTS!
