Report: 5-year-old son dies after whipping by father for talking back, not going to bed
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - A father in the Las Vegas area is under arrest and facing a murder charge with connection to the death of his 5-year-old son earlier this week.
On Thursday, Gerald Oglesby, 33, was taken into Henderson police custody after authorities were called to his apartment and found his son dead, reported by KVVU.
The child stopped breathing after being whipped by Oglesby with a cable box cord, according to a Henderson police arrest report.
The 33-year-old told police that his son was watching a TV show that he wasnt supposed to watch and back talked before using the cord, splitting the childs chin open.
Oglesby reportedly whipped the child again later that Wednesday night because the child didnt want to go to bed, the report said, while also hitting the child in the abdomen with a slipper.
Oglesby told police he knew he hit the child too hard as the child wasnt acting normal and laid down. The child vomited a short time later, according to the report.
The arrest report continued, reporting Oglesby could tell something was wrong but didnt want to call the police because they would not understand his method of discipline.
According to the report, Oglesby performed CPR but got no response and realized the child was dead. He then texted the childs mother a couple of good pictures stored on his phone and texted the sister that the boy died because he had whipped him too hard.
The boys father started smoking marijuana before calling 911, with him calling emergency responders around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the report. Oglesby said the last time the child was breathing was 13 minutes before the 911 call.

(1,782 posts)exactly that this horrible case has to do with politics and Trump?
Those things shouldn't even be in the same thread. What happened here is a human tragedy, not politics.

(18,129 posts)He whipped his four year old son. Everyone was excusing it because that's the way people discipline down south.

(17,865 posts)that killed the boy (not to say that wasn't bad and should have involved immediate removal from the home and charges), but it was probably internal injuries from "hitting" him in the adomen with a shoe. My Spidey senses tingle on that one though - perhaps it was kick from a shoe instead?
"The father said he then placed a slipper on his hand and struck the boy in the abdomen." - Right

(17,865 posts)which the father did not honor and the Court system did nothing about. Wait to see what a review yields, but, if that is the case, then CPS and the Court system sucks in Nevada.

Family court is a racket wherever you go.

(15,318 posts)Mothers tend to have custody more often because fathers don't always fight for it. But when they do, fathers win more often than mothers. That's why this piece of shit had custody.

(43,049 posts)more than I thought they did.
There seems to be a lot of debate on the issue, and i see no reason to make any more blanket statements based on old news until I understand the whole thing better.

(4,307 posts)My little brother and I were forced to spend time with our father who had abused all of us physically. Maybe I am way off base, but I have had this terrible thought. If this monster would do what he did, he might also have taken steps to "discipline" the boy' screams. They can be very clever. JUDGES, DO NOT DO THIS TO LITTLE CHILDREN! STOP IT!

Given what he admits to doing, imagining him going that next cruel step is not wild speculation

Fucking child killing monster. I'd like to beat him to death with a steel cable..tied down so he cant run away or fight back and with a ball gag so he cant talk back. Just like what he did to his innocent kid.
We have too many psychopaths running free abusing people in this country and not enough of them dead.

(4 posts)This happened years ago. I dont remember the age of the child, except he was under 10. The father was a great believer in never sparing the rod. One day the boy threw up at the dinner table. For that crime, his father beat him. The boy started to throw up at the table on a regular basis. Every time he threw up, he got a beating.
Boys grandmother tried to tell the father that vomiting was an involuntary reaction to fear. He didnt believe her. One day she took the boy to a ice cream parlor. When the started to eat some ice cream, his mouth started to bleed. She tried to get CPS involved, she was told that it was best off with his family.
One day the boys urine turned red. He laid down on his bed and died. It turned out the boy died from kidney damage.

(3,282 posts)None of the things he said would be able to cause that type of injury.
He must have either punched or kicked the boy in the stomach.

(5,164 posts)The majority seem to be very ill equipped to be adequate parents and so many seem to be psychopaths on varying levels these days. We have way too many people in the world as it is which is causing so many terrible issues and which makes tragic outcomes like this more likely. The safety systems failed this poor child by giving custody to his so called father.

(5,847 posts)How he must have suffered. Whipping with a plastic cord is agony.
I know from experience.
When I was about 5, my mother whipped me with a section of plastic clothesline. I crawled under the kitchen table to try and escape. It was the most physically painful beating I ever got -- mostly I was beaten with leather belts.
At least my mother stopped after a while.
I am 70 years old, and I still have a vivid memory of that beating.
I am in tears thinking about that poor child.

(4 posts)A cousins stepfather liked to use a belt. But one time the metal bucket cut his skin. Teacher noticed the cut and called CPS. Now he had number when he got belted.

(10,156 posts)A cable wouldn't have done that. This fucker used either a blunt weapon or force with his own hands. Reading this gave me chills. My dad used the barrel of a .22 and struck me in the lower back with it when I talked back to him. poor baby probably died slowly from the pain. God damn this fucking monster! Should get the same punishment he gave his child. Let him know how it fucking feels
