Father Beats 6-Year-Old Son to Death Because He Wouldn't Fall Asleep

Father Beats 6-Year-Old Son to Death Because He Wouldn't Fall Asleep

A Texas man was arrested yesterday for beating his 6-year-old son for eight hours straight because the child would not fall asleep. The child died.

According to police reports, the child's father, Alex McGowen Duncan, 34, beat his son, Tekerrious Jackson, aka T.K., for two weeks after the boy came to stay with him for the summer. He had been only recently reunited with this son.

Last Saturday evening, McGowen reportedly saw the child's eyes flutter at around 7 p.m., shortly after putting him to bed. The victim's dad, who is also known as Boomer, was so uncontrollably enraged that T.K. was still awake that he made the boy get out of bed. Reportedly, for the next eight hours, he made T.K. kneel down, then extend his arms in front of him. If the boy lowered his arms, McGowen would then proceed to pummel his son's chest and other parts of his body commando-style.

McGowen's girlfriend, Tammyra Lanette Sampson, who admitted to police that she had witnessed countless beatings inflicted by McGowen on his young son, stated that she once intervened on the boy's behalf. The 30-year-old woman who has an 11-year-old daughter who was also present in the apartment, said that she tried to teach McGowen how to properly discipline T.K. with a belt instead.

The 11-year-old girl also told police that she was forced to watch the brutal beatings that were given to T.K. over the course of several days.

T.K. suffered severe trauma to his body and was taken to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, where he was pronounced dead. McGowen is charged with murder. Sampson faces charges of injury to a child by omission.

What the hell? For days she sees a 6 year old being continually pummelled in his chest and all she can do is try and "teach" this stupid nigga how to use a belt instead? Sometimes my black people make me so ashamed to claim them.
