CLICK HERE to see the most disturbingly heartbreaking thing I have seen in a long-time, thoughts?

Update: Joseph Gray, 27, of Detroit was arraigned Sunday on child abuse charges in the beating of his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son that was captured on a convenience store surveillance tape. The video from Dec. 21 shows a man hitting, kicking and stepping on a child over a four-minute span. The man also is seen hitting the child with a cooler door and pauses when other customers walk nearby.

  • I would like to get my hands on his black azz. He is a mofo coward and the baby mama need her azz kick, too. This bitch knows this mofo have been beating her son. It is not the first time. Thank God for store survelliance tapes.

  • He should be shot.

    This goes to show everyone is NOT cut out to be parents. People like this should NOT have children.
    This reminds me of Nixmary Brown in New York. She was abused to no end and finally killed by her stepfather.
    We live in a sick world.

  • When he gets to jail I hope they kick his A$$… We’ll see how he likes that.

  • I wish a mofo would put there hands on my children! He needs to go to jail and stay in jail and he dumb ass also I believe she knew he was doing it. You can’t trust or have just anybody around your children. Black people we have to do better!

  • thats so sick, so so so sick. lord take the wheel.
    that man is EVIL. LOCK HIM UP!

  • im glad that everybody from detroit is not like this ass…i love being from detroit but its people like that that give us a bad name & detroit is such a nice place..damn i hope they put him away 4everrrr

  • I def think this is a situation where jailhouse justice is the best solution. The dudes on the inside will handle him accordingly

  • just imaging how this “man” was treated as a child, must have been as bad or worse. i cant even grasp why someone would do this to anyone let alone a defenseless child. im not trying to sympathize with the abuser but i just cant wrap my mind around this sort of behavior. so so sad and disturbing.

    & people need to be more careful of who they let watch their children.

  • I want to grab that man by the neck and beat the …. out of him! How could he do that! And the baby is use to it because he just got up and followed him outside. I was trying not to cry and holding in my anger at the same time!

  • While I agree that the child’s mother probably is aware of the abuse being dealt to her son, we must consider that it is most likely that this man is behaving abusively toward her as well. Though that doesn’t excuse the endangerment of her children, it shed some light on how she could allow for her baby’s life to be put on the line in such a brutal manner…I hope that child finds himself in a safe and loving home soon…

  • Thank God this store clerk turned the tape in, had he not, who knows what would have happened. I remember seeing a news story where an elderly man got robbed and car jacked while at a gas station. the crook pistol whipped the man, and nobody did anything. we have to really start watching out for our babies and the good, elderly folks out there. this is craziness

  • See, that’s what I am screaming about RIGHT THERE!! Ladies, ur new boyfriend is not automatically ur childs father. OKAY!!! Lets learn this one quickly. He might like u but that does not mean he loves YO BABY. Dang shame but it happens all the time. STOP IT, NO RAY-RAY CAN’T TAKE LIL MAN TO THE STORE, NO HE CAN’T, THAT’S IS NOT A WISE THING TO DO, THAT IS NOT HIS DADDY. TAKE ME HIGHER LORD.

  • I can’t believe that. Watching that video was so disturbing. The end was so sad. Seeing the little boy get up and follow him was heartbreaking.

  • I can’t believe that a person can be that cruel to a child. I wish I was in that store when that happened, I would probably beat him senseless!

  • you are not going to tell me that nobody in the dayum store did not hear that baby crying and screaming.. all of their asses should be arrested..i hope somebody in jail kills his crazy ass

  • I cant watch this video, Im afraid of the reaction I may get and will probably ruin my month!

    But I hope single women everywhere will learn from this and NOT bring just any ol’ body into your home. Do not let any man come into your childs life that easily. Do a back round check! When I say that I mean go meet his family, ask some questions to get a real view of who you’re with. Though some ppl are time bombs there are some things that can be avoided.

    Ima pray for this lil boy and his mama. This gutta butt trollop of a man will get his in prison!

  • It scares me how sick and warped people can be towards women and children, and towards people in general. Everyday we are hearing about fathers killing their pregnant wives, mothers poisoning their children, fathers dropping their own children off bridges to retaliate against mothers, and parents sexually assualting babies. That’s a damn shame. It amazes me how one could get to the point in their minds, where it is acceptable to beat and stomp a 2-year child like he or she is an adult on the streets. But at the same time, MOTHERS BE VERY CAREFUL who you are dating, and more importantly who allow to watch your children. Throughout this whole clip, where is the mother? This child is being tossed and beaten, and where’s his mother? Love is a beautiful thing, but their is no love more unconditional or special than that or your own child. So don’t sacrifice or jeapordize that love for that which comes from a man; because at the end of the day, the child will still be there, and Lord willing will still love you unconditionally!!!

  • To watch that child pull himself up from the floor after being tortured like that and FOLLOW THIS MAN just kills me. He has no where else to go. It’s heartbreaking. May God do whatever is necessary to make sure this doesn’t happen again. ((SIGH))

  • I couldn’t even watch the whole video because it’s just too much, too sad to watch! God please watch over this child and others that are being abused!

  • I tried to research this story, but apparently it is no longer news. The last reports are from the date of his arrest. Nothing has been said about the mother. The beating happened on Dec. 21st and when the police arrested him on Jan 7th, the boy still had bruises, which means the mother had to know something was going on. I hope she was arrested as well and the papers just didn’t deem it newsworthy.

  • I decided not to watch it, because I am uable to choke the life out of that man. As a nurse, I see abused children all of the time, unfortunately,however in a professional setting something can be done. I reserve the word hate just for these types of abusers.

  • I hope that catch him, he needs his ass beat.

  • That sonvab*** ain’t a man! He’s a punk…and I know sooner or later someone is gonna give him a taste of his own medicine. I wish I was in the store when that jackass was doing that…I would’ve kicked him in the nuts so hard he’d have three adam’s apples! A real man will never ever put his hands on a woman or a child.

  • OOOOOOOOOOOO MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!that is so sad he kicked that child so hard it didnt even look real.It looked like a Chucky Doll or something.I wish a man twice his size could do the same damn thing to him.{Last update} they found out who he was. thank the lord for that.All I can say now to him is dont drop the soap..Bizotch!!!!!!

  • He need a beatdown!!!

  • Lord please take that baby away from that horrible cruel person! that is the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life! & he is a big guy to beat on that little baby!
    I’m tired of seeing stories in the news about people beating & hurting little innocent children they need severe punishment for these people!

  • I hope Big Bubba is in that cell F$CKIN him up!!!

  • As a person from Detroit It hurts me to see this. For this man to beat on somebody who could not do anything. I know when all this was going on the little boy had to be yelling and crying and there were people in the store and they did nothing just let the sh@* go on they are no better then the man who was doing the beating.

  • Wow B. is late on this one. I am from Detroit and that man was caught like 1 day after. this was like 2 weeks ago.

  • I am glad they got him.He needs to be put away for along time and never be around Children again. He is a child abuster and maybe a women beater also. His actions could have killed this chilld.

  • What happened to the mother?

  • this story just starting going around th internet this week

  • did he get caught and put away
