Please, visit ♥ Dominick Calhoun ♥ (Victim of Child Abuse) Do you know my story? Why I was beaten unconscious? Over several days I endured painful beatings till my little body gave up and, now I am at peace ❤
The trial for Brandon Hayes, the man accused of beating Dominick Calhoun to death in the spring of 2010, is under way in Flint.

We're republishing this piece by Maria Stuart, which ranks among the most-read on this site. It first ran on Sept. 1, 2010.

Police say 4-year-old Dominick Calhoun was tortured to death by his mother's boyfriend in the spring.

At the end of March, Dominick's 25-year-old mother moved with him and his 8-year-old brother into the apartment of her boyfriend, a 24-year-old ex-con who was a couple months out of prison.

Less than two weeks later, after four days of unimaginable horror, Dominick was dead.

I didn't know Dominick, but I find myself grieving for him..
I've been thinking, too, of the mother authorities say didn't do enough to protect her son. I want to know why she and so many other people couldn't, wouldn't or didn't do anything to save the little boy's life, to shield him from the wickedness that rained down upon him. My heart aches to think how scared he must have been.

There are so few answers. All I know is that the end of this child's life was horrific.

The police officer who responded to the scene when someone finally reached out for help testified that when he saw the condition of the child, he cried, "What the **** kind of animals are you people? Look at this boy. He's crucified."

The medical examiner stopped counting the injuries to the little boy's body when he reached 100.

This case is so vicious, so full of fury and rage, that it is making me rethink my opposition to the death penalty.

Dominick's final days were long and torturous, meted out in kicks and punches and burns. It began when he wet himself while eating breakfast on the sofa and ended four days later when he was removed from life support. Rest in peace sweet angel Dominick❤

"In Loving Memory"

Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
And I'll come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I'm glad He set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And you always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me
