This is a rough one:
Court documents detail horrific violence that a 3-year-old boy and his younger sister endured before the boy died….When they heard Blake E. Litton died Thursday morning and that Litton and Presley were claiming he’d been hit by a car just a few miles from the family home, they knew something wasn’t right….Presley allegedly sent Litton a text message saying he had “lost it,” according to court documents. He fabricated that Blake was in a hit-and-run crash because he didn’t want to go to prison for the rest of his life, according to court documents. He admitted he had repeatedly beat and kicked the boy, police said.
Blake died after his liver was lacerated and a blood vessel in his brain burst, according to court documents. Bruises and lacerations were visible on his head, neck, torso, buttocks, legs and arms.
His younger 3-year-old sister also had numerous injuries after she was examined by doctors and nurses. Bruises covered her body. She had suffered previous head and liver injuries and had a broken left wrist.
The little girl told a nurse that Presley had caused her injuries. She said that Presley spanked her and her brother, according to court documents. The girl was then taken to Sedalia for further treatment, and was interviewed by a forensic expert.
In that interview, the girl said she saw Presley “punch (Blake) in the mouth because he ‘pooped.’ She continued that after he punched him, (she) saw Presley put (Blake) in the bathtub and ‘hit him with the bathtub a lot,’ and (Blake) ‘kept pooping more,'” according to court documents.
Now this is a death than you won’t read about in the blood-dancing blog “Kid Shooting”. You know why? Because only kids who were SHOT are useful for their uses.
Does this death and abuse sound LESS relevant to you? Does “Gun Death” sound like a valid metric to you?
Sorry, but I simply can’t qualify the violent death of a child.

It takes a sick person to hurt kids like that. I understand spanking and Lord know i got the belt, hickories, yard sticks, and paint sticks when i was a kid but there should be a special place in hell for people like that guy.
If Joan and her ilk had their way ALL deaths would be this horrific. The simple fact is, a gun, in the hands of a nearby citizen had a better chance of saving this child than anything else.

I would be more than happy to send that person to hell to find that place, jimmie.
I’m going to go hug my son now and then clean my gun.
There aren’t words to describe how evil that man is. It’s a strange country where people like this get to have children, while the gun grabbers whine about licensing anyone who wants to own a gun. There are times when I’d like to see an exception made to the “cruel and unusual punishment” clause.
The only good news here is the possibility that the rumors are true about how prisoners treat child murderers.
I am afraid to put into words the kind of violence I would like to visit upon this person.
