Boyfriends beats Girlfriends child to death

[3Taylor]

A Springtown man has been accused of beating his girlfriends child to death while babysitting last week. 24 year old Rodney Chase Pettigrew was arrested and booked into the Parker county Jail and remained jailed without bail. Pettigrew was the only one in the house with the child and faces a capital murder charge because the child was under 6 years old. He told a 911 operator that the child was on the counter when he turned to get his food and said that the child fell 4 feet. Any thoughts?

It makes me mad that people would even hurt a child, but then blaming it on accidents and not telling them he did it. do the crim do the time.

I hoped she dumped him because if she didn't there is seriously something wrong with her
