12-year-old Jay’Tavious Mahone spent a week at his sister Sabrina’s apartment in College Park, Georgia as part of his summer vacation. Sabrina Powell and her boyfriend Omar Pitts were supposed to be caring for Sabrina’s little brother last week and he would have returned home to his mother this past Thursday. Jay’Tavious will never be coming home now thanks to this pair of cretins.

Powell and Pitts were allegedly angry because Jay’Tavious was swearing and using sexual language. As punishment the two asshats forced the boy to stand outside holding a paint can from 10a.m. until noon last Wednesday. Keep in mind that for the last week or so it’s been in the frigging 90s down here. When I went to bed last night at 11 it was still 80 degrees so even at 10am standing in one place holding a paint can would be unbearable.

At some point during the “punishment” Powell left for work and left Jay’Tavious in the care of boyfriend Omar Pitts. I guess we all know where this is headed next.

A neighbor caught what happened next on their cell phone video. Why they allowed it to continue I have no fucking clue but they did call 911 3:40pm reporting the boy had collapsed from heat stroke. According to the police the video shows Pitts repeatedly kicking Mahone in the head after he collapsed from exhaustion in the heat. Mahone was taken to the hospital where he died from blunt force trauma.

Both Pitts and Powell have been arrested and charged with Homicide and Cruelty to Children. Jay’Tavious and Sabrina’s mother now is taking care of Sabrina’s three children.

Too bad we can’t force Pitts and Powell to hold paint cans in their outstretched arms in the summer heat while we beat them about the heads with 2x4s. Oh, and to the person who took the cell phone video but couldn’t be bothered to call the police, FUCK YOU, you are almost as bad as the two who perpetrated the vile death upon this child.
