Young boy found unconscious on Revere sidewalk; man charged with beating him

The boyfriend of a five-year-old boy's mother was arrested today after State Police and EMTs found the boy "unresponsive" on the sidewalk near his home on Revere Beach Parkway, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Joseph Testa, 28, will be arraigned Monday in Chelsea District Court on charges of assault and battery on a child causing serious bodily injury, wantonly or recklessly permitting bodily injury to a child and child endangerment, the DA's office says.

According to the DA's office, the boy was rushed to Mass. General, where he underwent emergency surgery and where he is now in stable condition.

Innocent, etc.

anyone who is mentally able to beat a 5 year old to that extent should just be put down.

When male chimpanzees "take over" a female, they will kill the offspring from other males.

This kind of primitive thing is hard-wired, which is why you see so many of these beating, shaking and strangling deaths of previous children of the female by the new "boyfriend."

When social norms and customs like marriage before children, and families sticking together are abandoned, this is a result.

Humans have many customs for family and behavior. Ours are but a small subset - the are NOT hard wired or just natural or any other bullshit like that.

That means that "abandoning" any one set of "hard wired" (ahem" "morals" doesn't have fuck all to do with some sleazebag beating a child. Nor does the behavior of other monkey species.

Take your evopsych "just so" stories and cram it.

There are plenty of loving and caring stepfathers and there are biological fathers that are abusive. Don't try to pass off your silly opinion as fact.
