Kraig Monroe: Couldn't Stand Two-Year-Old's Crying, So He Beat Her for Four Straight Days

• They could be talking about her small intertine which is 30 feet long

• Is the mother getting charged as well?????? Disgurting!

• People that abuse children should be beat to death. I'm sorry but no child should be abused and the ones who do the abusing should feel the pain the child felt. It makes,me so sick. I was an abused child growing up and it had me messed up for years until I sought out help. This poor baby is gonna need some intensive therapy to help her through it and that only helps to cope with the trauma she has been through but she will never be the same this will effect her for the rest of her life. No one knows what it like unless they have lived this type of life. I am so sorry she went through that. God it makes me so angry. This is why I am so protective over my children and now that they ate teens they hate it but now a days you can't trust any one with your children. And usually when a man is physically abusing a child he is sexually abusing them as well trust me I know. They need to check her to see if there has,been sexual abuse. This makes me want to cry and I want to get my hand on that fool and show him what it feels like to be abused only I would hurt him worse then he hurts that baby. Ok I've said whats on my mind. I will keep her in my prayers. May the angles watch over her and protect her.

• I shed a tear reading this.......what kind of human being commits an act of violence on another being that is dependent on an adult.....i AM MORTIFIED!!!! I have to agree how can one equate " Pit bull, trailer, and child-beating? A true low-life trifecta!" to attempt to justify behaviors......Violence weaves its nasty thread through ALL walks of life and financial situations......BAD on the reporter.......social profiling does not get the proper exposure to this case....... OH CANADA

• Hope this little one finds a family that will love her... poor things.. and the dog now needs a home too

• What does the dog have to do with this?!! Its the ass that is in the home that needs to be shot.. no that is too good for him.. let me have him for 10 minutes.. he will be looking for other parts...the mother needs to be charged too leaving this child with this monster.. where was she!!!

• im so sorry she has and is going through this nightmare. God Bless this little innocent baby. my youngest is her age, my god id kill myself even thinking of doing such an act.  oh im hurt.

• OMG!! That poor baby!! What the fuck is wrong with people? The dad didn't do anything wrong except think that these were trust worthy people to leave his baby with. For fuckin real why can't assholes like this be a fuckin man and keep themselves from unraveling??

• not life sentence....im tired of paying for these ow life m'fers to eat 3 meals a day and cable...its ridiculousthis is the type of case where if he's proven guilty they should hand him over to me...bullet-50 cents...lifetime in prison- over 300,000 tax payer dollars

• I HOPE TO GOOD SOME ONE KICKS HIS ASS WHEN HE GETS TO JAIL . YOU FUCKIN FUCK . HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BEAT A 2 YEAR OLD THATS BS . I HOPE YOU GET IT 10 FOLD YOU PICE OF SHIT .......

• I HOPE THIS GUY ROITS IN HELL.AND THATS BEING TO NICE

• Some single mothers take bad boy friends and they know that they are abusive towards their own kids but these insecure and volatile women stick to scumbags like this guy coz they are scared not having a man in their life. Huh! At the expense of their own kids! They just wanna have someone they can call their "boyfriends" and they turn a blind eye to the abuses they do. What a shame.

• thats nasty how could you do that to a little girl it wrong why didnt he pick on someone his own size he makes me sick and i hope he doesnt call himself a real man because real men dont pick on somebody that is way smaller then them and that cant stick up for them selfs he is so sick i hope he dies in jail.

• Can I BEAT the crap out of him because of a HUGE lack of brain cells that occupy the small cavity in his head that should hold a brain.What a moron I hope pretty boy has been violated in jail a few times before he post bond (judge actually lowered it) and any woman that would lay with this man deserves to be called a moron too. I hope Amanda she is ok and has no damage to her sweet little body and I hope Daddy gets a chance to show him a little justice too. Anyone who would hit a child for crying is a PIG and deserves every horrible thing that could happen to you in Life to actually happen.What a little Angel she is and MOM shouldn't EVER be allowed to be alone with her again...she should deal with the choices she has made...PLUS my 2 year old would TELLL TELL TELL cause that is what I have taught her She's my little spy

• this man is meant to be a human being it makes me fuckn sick to do that to a defencless c.hild . i hope that he gets wats cumin to him pure scum thats all he is aint fit to breathe the same air as civallised people

• I like the pipe up the ass-insert barbed wire-remove pipe idea the best! Fuck this guy!

• Should bring back the hanging

• #1) to the people trying to defend pit bulls: who cares. there is a 2 year old baby badly injured. stfu about dogs. #2) regardless of the mother, the boyfriend, the situation, no child should EVER have to endure this. much less from some human trash, whoever that may be. #3) rich, poor, white, black... ANYONE who does this to a child should have this brought back on them tenfold. Without mercy. How does a 2 year old say "please stop hurting me"

• i was just saying.....i know that what happened in that house resulted in a little girl clinging to life in the hospital...and she didnt do it to herself...thats all....I pray for her everyday.

• @family member. You are no more related to this poor kiddie than I am, possibly not even the same species.

• if you are trying to justify what this asshole did you should be beat too and to apple and the tree if you know something you should tell the cops and any one who thinks these peices of shit should get a chance to breath free air again you need beat and to any body who thinks pit bulls are evil you should come see mine she is bigger pussy then kreep monroe but she would eat his bitch ass

• scum.

• I agree that assholes who live in a trailer and have a pitbull are usually of the worse sort and should be immediatedly disposed of as soon as they are identified.

• the pit should have ate this mother fucker mine would have the best comments i have read are DO NOT FORGET THE CHILD those who defend these dumbfucks shall rot in hell im a father and grand father pitbull owner and pot smoker try to hurt one of mine

• just want to make a few comments. first of all, this little girl was brought to daycare by kraig with a untreated broken leg which he said was just "asleep" about a week before this last beating. the mother was not concerned at all when she told the daycare they didnt know how it happened and continued to leave her child with this man. she had to know her daughter was in pain with a leg broken in 2 places, probaly the reason she was crying in the first place the day of this last beating. picturing that poor child strapped in a chair with a cast on her leg being beaten and having her hair literally ripped from her head is horrible. the mother had to see the injuries on sunday and did nothing. this is her child she chose to bring in this world, her baby, and she let someone torture her child. she deserves to rot in jail. as for the family members statements- 1. support of troops has nothing to do with this and is the most absurd reasoning i have ever heard. 2. if she was homeless, she could have easily gotten welfare(dont worry, obama just approved welfare to get a higher increase than the military pay) with 3 children. obviously, her child would have been better served homeless than sleeping on the floor in a condemed trailer and getting nearly murdered. 3. although in the legal system, you are innocent until proven guilty, that has nothing to do with the real world. how many 100% guilty people are found not guilty by certain definitions. are you saying you think OJ is really innocent??? 4. how many 100% guilty people get released by technicalities and loopholes in the legal system. how many convicted felons are release to commit more crimes due to the way our court systems work. 5. just because a court may not find someone guilty doesnt mean we as a society agree. it doesnt they are innocent. 6. just because someone isnt charged by lack of evidence doesnt mean we as a society will believe or treat them as if they were innocent. i could go on and on but whats the sense. there is no reason whatsoever to have nothing but hatred for a man who could do something like this. and even as a family member, im sure if you heard this exact story in the news about someone else, you would be saying the same exact thing. if the mother cared for and wanted to protect her child, she would have gone to the police, or at a minimum got her daughter out of that house after the leg incident. if she cared, she would have wanted her child to have better living conditions. she would have call every agency, or friends, or family. she would have reached out for help. if she really cared, and there was no alternative, she would have given up her child to a family who could provide everything a baby needs to thrive. if she really cared, she would have stopped after the first or second baby when she couldnt take care of them. if she really cared, she would have taken her baby to the hospital the minute she came home on sunday. that mother obviously doesnt really care about her kids. she wouldnt lay down her life for theirs, as most mothers would. she wouldnt even dump her boyfriend. if this child survives, she will have scar, both physical and emotional. she will most likely have permanent damage in some way regarding the surgeries. with all that though, she will have to somehow accept that her own mother chose a man over her, and let him abuse her. how is she ever going to get over that.

• So, as far as I can understand, this article is bullshit. Our 'dear writer' can't even produce the facts for us. Firstly, 18 feet vs. 18 inches of intestines? Are you really that dumb, because that's a HUGE difference?!? Secondly, the comments about the Pit Bulls and trailers? Now, that's just going way too far and it's called RACISM against this beautiful breed, whom had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CHILD'S ABUSE!!! According to our writer, if you live in a trailer park and have a pit bull, you'll beat your child and you're a low-life, because like he said, and I quote, "A true low-life trifecta!"...And no, I'm not drawing a false syllogy, I'm stating the facts that are typed in black and white by the low-life that wrote this article...Let me tell you something...I rescue Pit Bulls and also have 2 of my own and live in a house(with a concrete foundation), which even happens to be right next to the cliff over-looking Lake Taneycomo in Branson, MO, so am I now at the beginning stages of being a 'low-life' and beating my child because I have 2 Pit Bulls? No, I'm not! I make $58,000 a year and paid over $250,000 for my home. Regardless of how anyone looks at this article, this man is a racist and I'm sure it's not just against breeds of dogs in his world. Chad Garrison-YOU are the only low-life name mentioned in this article, because until that man and/or his girlfriend are CONVICTED of this crime, they deserve some sort of civilized, decent, American behavior towards them! On another note, we will continue to pray for that baby and that the monster(s) responsible for this crime are CONVICTED and locked away for a long, long time!

• I have a pitbull and she's the sweetest dog ever. It's not the dogs fault the baby girl was beaten. How did his family not know what kind living situation he was in? Someone had to know how nasty their trailer was. There's many people that could be blamed in this horrible situation. I have no kids of my own but I'm very protective of my 4 year old nephew. I'd be slowly torturing that bastard. What is wrong with some people in this world.

• I know what happened in that house......a little girl is lying the in the hospital because of it. We cant say who did what, but we can say who DIDNT!

• anontmous: you have access to a computer, eh? LOOK IT UP!

• Everyone has an oppinion but keep them to your self until the truth comes out. A woman with 3 kids that is homeless has no right complaining about her kids sleeping on the floor at least they have a roof over their head. Maybe she should have provided a better life for her kids. Noone knows what really happened in this home. Im sure the mother is not innocent by no means. why not have everyone take a polygraph test.

• I can't stop thinking about this beautiful little girl. I have a daughter the same age, the amount of pain that this girl endured is un imaginable. God please help her.

• "i see that kraig a senior has a violent wrap sheet....hmmmm what was that about the apple and the tree?????" Really? Please expand on this, you lying fuck.

• Ive known Craig since I was 12, he was a piece of shit back then and not much changed... sad

• @familymember (Kraig's) what does supporting our troops have to do with an accused child abuser? Nothing I'm sure!!! Why didn't anyone know this child was living in filth? Why did this so called mother allow her child to live in filth?

• When day care called the mother at work and she could not leave for a sick/injured child my question is why??? If something happened to my child I would be there ASAP. I don't care if my boss didn't like it. Young mothers need to forget about their boyfriends and think about their child. I hope this little girls father gets coustody and the mother is never allowed to see her again. As for the accused well he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law or however the saying goes. Meaning for life! This is so sad... Pit Bulls are great dogs when they have the proper owner. Don't abuse children or animals please. Abuse abuser's PLEASE!!!

• There's not enough pain that I can think of to do to this piece of sh*t daily for the rest of his life that would be equivalent to whats he's done to this baby. My soul cries out in anger. I think someone should kidnap that sob and torture him. WHERE WAS THE MOTHER FOR 4 DAYS? SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED AS WELL!!!!

• Kraig was a piece of shit in high school, and is still I see. I'm looking forward to paying some skinheads to make a playground out of his ass in prison. Kraig your a trailer trash piece of shit and flat out a pussy for beating on a child, big man. Enjoy wearing a mop faggot. Oh and dawn, get some self respect.

• i think the mother and boyfreind should live in prison, with only a feeding tube and a cathadure. treating them like there a peice of nothing the way they treated that little baby. slow and painful, every now and again throw a wild bear in there cage..

• i see that kraig a senior has a violent wrap sheet....hmmmm what was that about the apple and the tree?????

• Hey "family member", i realize that this may not be your fault, but this is out of your hands, now. There is NOTHING you can do or say to protect that loser. How can you say innocent until proven guilty??? What?? She did it to herself??? All I can say is that there are many people who could've stepped in whether it be now, 2 years ago or 24 years ago to prevent this from happening but it DIDNT GET ONE! and NOW you have the audacity to step in. If you ask me....you and any other "family member" is just as guilty for not protecting this little angel and GOD will have his way with ALL OF YOU!

• I want to know how friggin stupid this "mother" is. She should be charged the same for allowing, not only a vicious demon to watch her child, but to allow the abuse to continue.....and she worked in a nursing home???? r u KIDDING? I dont care how much of a moron you are, a mother KNOWS when something is "up" with their child, and she chose not to do anything......for a WEEK! Lock em both up in general population and let gravity take its course!

• He will be out in under five years to make room for all the pot smokers. Sick.

• disturbedfamilymember : First of all, you disturb me. You are the reason people such as these escape the judicial system w/ a slap on the hand! We are talking about an innocent TWO year old..She was probably crying b/c the piece of shit forgot to feed her! Open your mouth, insert your foot and swallow. You are just as bad as he is. Secondly, NOTHING comes between me and my kids. At the first indication something like this was happening, I'd have his dick in a pair of vice-grips! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrr!

• @familymember .........really.......the guy beat up a fucking 2 year old!!!!!!!! I hope he dies a slow painful death. @Annie uhm can you read? and it' moron* not "Moran"

• This is one of the most horrendous things I've ever read. I hope this guy gets beaten to death in prison. Oh yeah, Pitbulls aren't inherently bad dogs, they just have a nasty rep for having bad owners.

• the guy with the daughter is her real father. how do you know that the other guy has a tattoo he's wearing a shirt. anyways he pisses me off. I wouldn't fight unless someone attacks, but this guy needs to be punished on sight.

• Where was the mother?

• I think they should tatoo his crime on his forhead and butt so that his cell mates see what a sick man he is and punish him accordingly as the laws in this country will not make him hurt nearly enough to pay for whaT he did. It should be the law to brand these criminals for life. There is nothing inhumane about that. What happens to him in prison after they see what he's been convicted of. Is no ones concern and what happens in prison should be like what happens in vegas "it stays in vegas no legaL reprocutions for any punishment felow prisoners choose to bestow upon monsters like this even iff its removing parts of his intestines with a spoon through his anus on a daily basis.

• These comments are absurd. You all are citizens of the US-you support our troops, but not our courts? you are innocent until proven guilty. to annonymous,what do his family's facebook pages have anything to do with this? i surely hope it wasn't you who sent the threatening messages over facebook-silly, on there you are not anonymous. your name is included, and all threatening messages have been printed, and turned into the police. you will get your turn in court too, and i hope they throw the book at your ass for being a judgmental piece of shit, and unamerican.

• This is what that piece animal s**t can expect, feces and urine thrown on him on a daily basis,all kinds of extra surprises in his food-beatings from inmates and guards and thats while in jail-if he ever makes it to prison there is a good chance he wont make it out.

• Why are they making her eat the rest of her life? And through a feeding tube, no less! The abuse just continues. Or was that the author's abuse of the English language? Get a brain, moran.

• Hell just isn't enough punishment for some people.

• This is where the Justice ?? system fails us all. Pieces of trash like this get squat for punishment, while less offenses get life. Street Gangs,drug dealers,pedifiles, all get a slap on the hand and told have a good life. If it was my daughter, I don't care, he would never make it to court. Thats Justice for a POS like that.

• He deserves a LIFE SENTENCE for trying to put an INNOCENT and DEFENSELESS child into LIFETIME DISABILITY.

• Also @family member - I pray very much for your little angel's recovery! I can't even imagine the pain you must be going through! My prayers are with you and her and all of your grieving family members! I pray that, if proven guilty, the bastard that did this is not given any plea deals, and has no possibility of parole, EVER, in their miserable life. I do not want to have any possible chance of this monster ever being released into society again.

• disturbedfamilymember - fuck you, you piece of shit. This bastard deserves to be anally gang raped in jail

• "aggravated battery of a child" or "attempted murder"??

• The abuser needs to be executed!!!! What is wrong with our country when we can't even execute people for this kind of horrible crime!? I'm sickened and utterly angry!

• RFT got it wrong - they removed 18 inches, not 18 feet. Still, a profound injury to an innocent child and a profoundly disturbing story. When I heard about it early this afternoon, my first impulse was to drive to daycare and hug my kids. Instead, I smothered them with extra love and attention tonight. Just incomprehensible. The perp had a facebook page w/ 200+ friends this afternoon; it's since disappeared. He wasn't without family, both his parents had pages on facebook as well. Note this wasn't a single loss of control. He'd been beating her for a period of days. That = intent and premeditation. Hopefully he won't be segregated in prison but placed in open population. Go love on your kids. There's no substitute for family - all the rest are just strangers.

• the authorities need to get there facts straight how does everyone know that the mother didnt accuse the boyfriend for what she did. Her intestines are the problem what about bruises on her stomach why dont they talk about that. You honestly think that a man really did that to a little girl she would already be dead. How bout the mother should be charged and sentenced to the chair for not taking her to the doctor for her leg and neglect on her own child. Will see who goes to jail

• There is no question of guilt. I am glad to know most of society is outraged by this, but please pray for our sweet little girl's recovery. We need prayers more than anger! This will be a long ordeal.

• Everyone knows that people that live in trailer parks are trash.

• This guy is sick! To beat such a beautiful little defensless child, only someone truley heartless could do such a thing, and what about the parents? I think there's somthing more to the story, I think someone was to freakn high or turned blind eyes to see what the hell was goin on w/ this innocent child, thank God she's in good hands know, she will be in my prayers..

• "god knows what happened, and he will make things right for all involved." God will make things right? Where the hell was God when this blemish on society was beating the hell out of this little girl? God won't make anything right. Believe in what you want to believe, but I'd rather man punish this SOB first and let God deal with him after. If he's innocent, then so be it, but SOMEONE nearly killed that little girl and I'd rather get to deal with them in this life before they get to the next. That's all I'm saying.

• i have a 7 monht old baby girl and she's the most wonderful thing i've seen... I hurt for that little defensless victim pof society. what everyone fails to see is that the sickness is called individualism and hate live inside lonely hearts.... that poor bastard is hurting so much! as is the mother and the father.... everybody needs to lend a hand to fix this God damned society... solidarity and empathy is the way to go... peace! as for the victim, if you had a global health care system the burden on the family would be less heavy.. how a bout that!.... next time you fill your stomaches up with fast food crap... think about what the fast lane of the american dream comes to now!!! wake up citizens! wake up!!

• He is a selfish piece of shit.

• this is very sad for all the families involved. please remember the mother hasn't been charged, and your comments seriously hurt everyone involved. while i fully understand that he may have done this, he is still innocent until proven guilty. we support our country in the fact that we support our soldiers, yet we don't support the judicial system when it comes to being innocent until proven guilty. shame on the writer of this article, and all of your for your thoughtless comments. god knows what happened, and he will make things right for all involved.

• This has to be death penalty worthy. I know it wont happen but it really should.

• <<<<<<<<<<<<<<BREAKING NEWS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> St. Clair County Sheriff's Department reports that recently incarcerated inmate 24-year-old Kraig Monroe was "accidentally" released into the general population of St. Clair County Jail. Mr. Monroe was found to be a victim of asphyxiation a short time later, with his own penis lodged in his throat. Sheriffs office has determined the death to be accidental, and there will be no further investigation...

• Take it from someone in law enforcement, the four most chilling words a divorced father will ever here from his child are: "mom's got a boyfriend". Of course, at two years old, the child likely wasn't able to tell her father.

• If this had happened to my daughter I'd be going to jail for manslaughter. I am so outraged by reading this. I want to slay this low life scum. Maybe I should show up to his court date and slay this m'fer in front of everyone.

• That guy deserves to have someone beat the hell out of him for 4 days straight- It's the golden rule, right? It's only fair. I would love a follow-up story on this guy's jail time. I feel that this is poor journalism on the writer's part- Owning a pit bull doesn't say something bad about the owner, and the dog had nothing to do with the horrible things that happened to that poor toddler... Shame on you, Chad Garrison, for being uniformed and contributing nothing positive to a battle that people have to fight everyday in order to protect those animals- who get the hell beaten out of them everyday, too, because people like you give them a bad reputation.

• Look people, he never said that a pitbull and a trailer automatically made this twat a low life. He was pointing out how common the three things are in the litany of the typical low life (or he was suggesting that he had observed this trend and believed it to be worth mentioning). What you are doing is drawing a false syllogy.

• Tough guy beating on a 2-year old? I hope he gets raped in jail for his entire stay. I then hope he commits suicide in realization he is not a man and a mistake of god!!

• I think that the girls father & family should be able to do this womans boyfriend the same way... I think that some of the old school laws should be used on people like this. Like if you steal then cut the hands off... I would NEVER let ANYONE touch MY kids they will have to go through ME first.. I would best that person till thet CAN NOT MOVE!!!!

• The poor shouldn't be paid to breed.

• how does a pit bull, or a trailer home, correlate to low-life qualities?

• Holy fuck. This makes me want to drive up there and commit a crime in order to beat the shit out of that worthless piece of shit. PVC pipe up the ass, barbed wire through the pipe, pull the pipe out. The rest is up to the father.

• It's not the Pit Bull's fault! Never is... It's always the as****le owners.

• Hey Anonymous who said an adult grown male has only 9 feet of GI tract.... You do realize you should have you facts straight before you comment on something like this right?? Try around 5 meters which is basically 20 feet. some humans have a little more and some a little less...

• She's going to be the skinniest girl in high school! Sucks. I like em curvy. (Yes, do kill the motherfucker. Hell, give me 5 minutes and I'll do it myself. :p )

• death penalty

• You totally fail my visceral anatomy class. The small intestine alone is over 18 feet in an adult male. Add another 4 and half for the large and a foot or so for esophagus and stomach. <<Anonymous says: << <<You realize the entire GI tract of a full <<grown adult male is only like 9 feet long <<right? <<Where is this 18 feet of intestine coming <<from? <<Posted On: Thursday, Mar. 4 2010 @ 7:03PM

• &#64;Shirtless, I also think the comment about pitbulls and trailers is inappropriate. Shame on you, unprofessional journalist. I want the facts, not your own personal bias.

• actually the average adult has about 30 ft of GI tract or also known as the alimentary canal... so 18 ft would make sense and this child is gonna have a rough recovery ahead.

• Child abuse should not be tolerated.

• Kill that mother fucker

• Wow, I would personally love to beat this guy to death! Very, very slowly. Jack http://www.fbi-logging.at.tc

• You realize the entire GI tract of a full grown adult male is only like 9 feet long right? Where is this 18 feet of intestine coming from?

• Any woman who'd date white trash like that.... Was she cheating on her hubby, or were they divorced? I suspect either way she won't be keeping custody, as she is not entirely blameless. I think the man should make ammends by donating his intestines to the girl, or at the very least doing laborous jobs while incarcerated to pay off all her medical bills for years to come.

• You associate trailers and pit bulls with child beating? Child abuse happens in all classes of society.

• The man with the tattoo is the father, not the accused.

• He will survive jail.. I mean come on, hes tough enough for a tattoo on his chest

• We'll see how tough this piece of shit is when it's a 300 lb. Latin King he's dealing with as opposed to a helpless 2-year old strapped in to a high chair. I'd love to be there to see it.
