Babysitter admits to torturing, burning 4-year-old Myls Dobson, boyfriend's son:

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/father-tortured-child-myls-dobson-suicide-watch-son-death-relatives-article-1.1575462

The child was allegedly beaten, whipped, burned with a grill, locked in a bathroom and thrown against a wall by father Okee Wade’s girlfriend, Kryzie King, who had been watching the child during Wade’s jail stint on bank fraud charges. Myls was found unconscious and covered with bruises and burns Wednesday inside the Manhattan apartment of Wade’s girlfriend. Wade is now on suicide watch, relatives say. He spent his last days in a living hell, being burned with an oven grill, beaten with a belt buckle on his genitals, tied and gagged to a chair with shoelaces and tossed around like a rag doll by the 230-pound woman who was supposed to caring for him, according to police sources.Kryzie King, 28, admitted to cops that she tortured and abused Myls Dobson, the 4-year-old son of her new boyfriend, police sources said.Just before he died Wednesday, the 5-foot, 10-inch, 230-pound King got in a terrible fight with the 4-year-old child in the bathroom, where he slipped and hit his head in the shower, law enforcement sources said.Myls, after nearly two weeks of abuse, had stopped eating, and King was going to bring him to the hospital, she allegedly told cops. The little boy ran into the bathroom, and that’s when Myls’ valiant final struggle began, police said.

“He began fighting with her. As they were struggling, he slipped and hit his head on the bathroom floor. He goes into the shower. Then she left and came back. They had another struggle, and he hit his head on the tub. She got him out of the tub. Then she left the room. She hears a thud. She goes back inside, and that's when he was slumped over,” a law enforcement source said, detailing King’s account.King called paramedics to her Hell’s Kitchen apartment at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, but it was too late for Myls. He died later at a Midtown hospital, and city officials are still trying to determine the exact cause.It was the end of nearly two weeks of torture that began shortly after his father, Okee Wade, 37, took Myls to King around Dec. 18 and asked her to take care of his son for a few days.
Wade asked his girlfriend of two months to watch the boy for a few days while he went to work, she told cops, according to sources.
For the first week, the two got along, and Myls was eating and was healthy.

1. I'm against the death penalty for practical reasons....

...but it's cases like this that cause me to question my convictions.

[SheilaT]

3. No. What's needed is that the punishment fit the crime.

Some 500 pound person gets to abuse her the way she did the kid.

Okay, I know that's over the top, but nothing short of subjecting her to similar torture would actually be a just punishment.

4. How sick!

[Initech]

11. I'd rather this woman be locked away in solitary confinement for 30 years.

2. Poor, poor sweet little guy.

It's so tragic that poor Myls ended up being tortured by a person that was supposed to care for him.

Hope this lady gets a *long* time in prison for what she did.

5. The pain is over for Myls. May he rest in peace.

6. And it always seems to be the custodial parent's new SO that beats, molests, kills the kid.

Though the typical - or at least stereotypical - case involves Mom's new boyfriend, this particular case is really no different. Awful, horrible stuff.

7. I hope someone bigger than her gives her a fitting punishment in prison.

8. BULLSHIT, he never slipped and hit his head! I've heard that excuse and it is always bullshit.

She threw that small child around like a rag doll! Slipped my ass! Poor kid, gave up eating probably because of internal injuries.

"Got into a terrible fight' = girlfriend torturing child to the breaking point.

I won't say what I think should be done to Ms. King on this forum.

[Nevernose]

14. No kidding

And who the hell says they got into a fight with a four year old? And she admitted to torturing him and beating him, but after the torture and beatings he coincidentally slipped.

It's not just enraging, it's ducking insulting. Poor kid...

[Rex]

17. It was an excuse used by a relative for why his kid always had bruises

on their back, shoulders, arms, legs...'the kid is clumsy and falls down a lot'. Thankfully a jury did not believe it either and he went away to state prison for 11 years. Not near long enough imo.

19. +1

[redqueen]

9. She needs to be locked up for life. nt

[closeupready]

10. Sigh. What can one say? Words really do fail.

Such a beautiful child.

[Shampoobra]

12. It was so hard for me to recommend this thread

It's hard to say to others, in effect, "Read this. I recommend it. I read it, and as soon as I did, I felt like shit. Now you read it."

But it felt like a betrayal not to recommend it. Like not recommending it would be saying to Myls, "People shouldn't hear about what you went through, because it will upset them."

[Glassunion]

13. DU decency rules prevent me from truly speaking my mind.

There are no words left to describe the type of person who would do such a thing.

[malaise]

15. Throw away the keys

permanently

[geek tragedy]

16. Life in prison, throw away the key, may she perish in complete oblivion, nt

[Matariki]

18. This is a very oddly written article

"and that’s when Myls’ valiant final struggle began, police said" - valiant?

And there's no question of her lying about him "falling" and hitting his head against the tub??? After everything else?

And that last sentence? She is clearly a psychopath. Who cares - they were 'getting along' for the first week???

[gollygee]

20. Fell and hit his head

BULLSHIT

Poor little boy I have a child that age. I can't even imagine.

[shenmue]

21. :(

No words.

[niyad]

24. oh, there are plenty of words, we just are not supposed to use them in polite society.

[arthritisR_US]

22. ..

[niyad]

23. this story was so poorly written, it was sometimes hard to figure out exactly who was meant.

what I want to know is why, when the child was SCREAMING out on the deck, nobody bothered to check? when the child was being beaten, nobody checked.

I had wondered why the child's mother was apparently not in the picture. what a horribly dysfunctional family that poor child had.

may he be at peace, and may the people who were responsible for him, and failed him, all receive exactly what they deserve.
