Meet Roy A. Jones. A 17 month old toddler who was beaten to death on August 2, 2010 by his mother's boyfriend for "acting too girly".
Pedro Jones of Southampton (not the boy's biological father), was arrested on charges of first degree manslaughter in Southampton Town Justice Court in connection with the toddler’s death. The boy was killed, according to police, by Pedro Jones “striking him several times throughout his body with his closed fists and grabbing him by the neck.”
According to Pedro Jones in a police interview, he was “trying to make him act like a boy instead of a little girl.”
Pedro Jones further stated in the document that the incident was an accident, and that, “I never struck that kid that hard before.”
