Babysitter Struck, Killed Infant

RIVERSIDE, N.Y. (WPIX) - A man is accused of fatally striking a 17-month-old infant he was babysitting Sunday night on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation on Long Island, according to New York State police.
The suspect has been identified as Pedro Jones, 20, of South Hampton. He has been charged with first-degree manslaughter after allegedly hitting the boy "several times throughout his body with close fists" and grabbed him by the neck, according to the felony complaint filed by police.
Authorities say Jones also told them, "I was trying to make him act like a boy instead of a little girl. I never struck that kid that hard before."
The infant, Roy A. Jones, was reportedly found in cardiac arrest and was rushed to Southampton Hospital where he died around 8:30 p.m.
"I just found out my Grandson died last night that's all I know," Donna Collins Smith.told PIX 11 News.
Police said Jones, who is not a member of the Shinnecock nation but lives on the reservation, is the boyfriend of the baby's mother.
"He infiltrated my family through our trust, through the heart of my daughter and then stole the life of her child," said the baby's grandfather Daniel Collins. "I hope the justice system turns around and steals his."
Jones pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Monday at Southampton Town Justice Court. He is currently being held without bail at Suffolk County jail.
Additional charges or the current charge could be upgraded pending the completion of the investigation, police said.

| This sound much more like an excuse than an actual reason. |

Do tell us: what would an actual reason sound like? |

The guys jealous of the kid taking all the girlfriends time, money, attention, etc. Something like that, what he said sounds like a lame way to try and justify what he did. |

I agree with Leon that his cited motive is entirely irrational, but maybe he himself is struggling to really understand why he did it as well. I'm reminded of a video I saw some time back. A grandmother would regularly take care of her grandson, and some time after she began taking care of him, his parents noticed him behaving strangely, inflicting harm on himself. They left a hidden camera next time they left him with her, and the video recorded what amounts to totally unprovoked verbal and (mild) physical abuse. I don't remember the grandmother really being able to explain it at all.
The level of self-alienation in such behavior seems high to me. |

| Sad really sad. If he had said that space aliens made him do it it would have the same meaning. This is a seriously mentally ill person. Deserves what ever the courts do to him. |

I have little trouble believing the guy did it out of some kind of homophobic panic. Maybe you guys have not been around the inner city much, but I have seen such men in public places berating boys of about 6 for not being tough enough, and how they shouldn't let others push them around, etc. A great number of such people believe that showing any kind of weakness is a sign of budding effeminacy and gayness.
These men who have so little can feel very desperate when one of the few things they do have, their masculinity, is threatened when they can become reckless. |
