INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A 14-month-old girl has died after Indianapolis police say her mother's boyfriend beat her with a belt for more than an hour.
Police say Lilliana Goodmann died about 3:30 p.m. Friday at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent.
Eighteen-year-old Tayaun Chism is being held in Marion County Jail on $100,000 bond on preliminary charges of neglect, aggravated battery and domestic battery. Prosecutor's office spokesman Mario Massillamany says officials will consider adding a murder charge. Chism is due in court Monday.
Chism is accused of beating the girl with a belt for being disrespectful and not eating her food.
Police said Chism's pregnant girlfriend, 21-year-old Rachel Goodmann, was injured as she tried to intervene. She was treated and released from the hospital.

The guy is the best poster-boy for Capital Punishment in some time. Unfortunately, he may grow old on death row waiting for it.This should be automatic death penalty! If he doesn't get it then all they have to do is turn him loose in gen-pop for a few days. Problem solved...
I'd like to have a belt and an hour with him. It's just disgusting what some people will do to a child for no reason.
