On Wednesday, January 8 Myls Dobson was pronounced dead at 1:52 p.m. The four year old faced torture and abuse from December 27 until the time of his death. The child's mother was unable to support her child, so Myls's father was given custody. However, Myls's father was arrested in December and Myls was dropped off at the babysitter on December 17 where he was until his death. The person responsible for the abuse is Kryzie King, the babysitter. The 4-year-old had "burn marks and abrasions on his head, neck, face, and testicles. There were bruises and numerous marks made my an object on his abdomen and legs and wrists--bruises consistent with being restrained--lacerations to his fingers, abrasions to his armpit, and bruises and scars on his back." Myls was also malnourished and had lost 20-25 pounds within his stay with King. King confessed to beating the child with a belt many times. She also admitted to locking him outside on a balcony in subfreezing conditions in very little clothing. When Myls was found he was locked inside a dark bathroom and unconscious. He was later pronounced dead. This is a really sad story, and I feel extremely bad for the child because he had to bear such horrible conditions and circumstances. For the full article click here.
Do you think that King should face harsh punishment for what she did? What would you do if you found out that a child was being abused? What would be your reaction?

Very sad and sickening story! Good job responding!
I think that "King" should be put into prison for the rest of her life.. anybody who treats a child like this has so many problems.
She should feel ashamed of herself for what she did to this poor little boy. If I were to take my kid to a baby-sitter then I would make sure that I know that they wouldn't hurt my child. This could happen to anyone so if it was my child I would make sure that they would get jail time.
I know. I don't want to blame the father for this event, but he is the one who sent Myls to the babysitter while he was arrested. So technically he is kind of responsible even though he didn't tell King to beat his child.
This story is so horrible. They trusted the babysitter with him and she does all that too the poor kid. I think King should face harsh punishment just like the little boy did. What she did to him way horrible and cruel. I don't get how somebody could be so mean to a little kid.
I know, it is crazy how someone could do that to an innocent four-year-old. I just hope King gets the punishment she deserves.
I think that King should receive terrible punishment from the law. I do not understand why anyone would ever want to do this to a child. If i found out that someone that i knew was abusing a child i would be very mad because no child deserves to be treated like that.
You make great points, and I completely agree with you. No one, especially a child, deserves that kind of treatment. I definitely believe that King should face harsh punishment.
It is really sad because Myls couldn't do anything, he was only four. It had no one else to talk to about these problems. The babysitter's name looks like crazy, did anyone else notice that? Anyways, the father should have left his son with a better babysitter or not have gotten arrested. King needs to be arrested for what she did to the poor child. Why would someone do that? He was just a little kid!
I noticed that her name looked crazy too. I also can't believe that someone could do that to a four-year-old. I really don't like hearing stories like this, but this one is extremely heartbreaking.
