For those who have been blessed with the opportunity to have a child knows that sometimes being a parent can be an overwhelming feeling.
But when one terrible father became irate at the sound of his crying child, he found a horrible use for his baby and sadly things only got worse from there.
Antoine Petty, 32, and Geneice Petty, 24, were the parents of 3-month-old Antoine Flemons. After a few months with his newborn son, the elder Antoine became frustrated with the infant’s never-ending crying, which resulted in the father feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Instead of asking for help from a friend or family member, Antoine chose to find a sick new use for his son.
The new father took the infant “to the balcony of the family’s apartment and began punching him in the torso to quiet him.” Sadly, the abuse didn’t stop there. In fact, when the punching only increased the baby’s discomfort and screams, Antoine brought him back inside and continued to hurt the baby.
Instead of fessing up to the crime, Antoine and Geneice put the baby’s corpse in their 1998 Lincoln Town Car for a full 24 hours before they decided to bury his body behind Parkdale High School.
The horrifying incident occurred in September but was only brought to the attention of police after relatives reported both Geneice and the baby missing. It only took the police one day before they found the child’s body.
Once they interviewed the parents, they admitted to their disgusting crimes.
Antoine Petty has since been “charged with first- and second-degree murder and other related charges,” according to Fox 5. Geneice Petty has also been charged with accessory after the fact and is currently being held on a $120,000 bond.
