FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): More details have come out about the brutal death of a toddler in Fort Wayne.

Police yesterday arrested 27-year-old Shaquille Rowe for the death of a 17-month-old boy that had been left in his care Monday. The child was rushed to a hospital after Rowe called 911, claiming he had found the child lying on the ground and not breathing.

According to the Journal Gazette, an autopsy says the boy had a fractured sternum and had been battered so badly that his heart had been “ripped in half.” They also found bruising around the child’s neck and chest.

Rowe is facing preliminary charges of battery and neglect.

Prison is not good enough for him. He gets three meals a cot. All that baby went through excruciating pain and died. And his parents get a pay for him to be in prison. Not fair not right.

He will be treated accordingly in prison. They do not like baby killers there.

What a sick, deranged S.O.B. to do that to such a tiny person! There is no way that baby could’ve done anything to deserve such a horrendous end to his short life. How could the baby’s mommy not know or suspect the man was deranged? That man breathing is a waste of oxygen. It’s all good because he’ll get his lesson when he gets to prison! Pity the poor baby

I say this Everytime I read about a baby getting murdered this piece of low life trash should be given to the family to do as THEY see fit with him. The baby suffered unmercifully and the animal that beat him should have to endure at a bare minimum twice the pain this precious baby had to suffer through. RIP baby boy.

First it’s the Mother/Father fault for LEAVING a toddler with a PERSON THAT LOOKS ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THE PARENTS SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH “CHILD ENDENGERNMENT FOR LEAVING HIM UNDER THE CARE OF “ANY MAN, INCLUDING HIS “father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and including a “priest.” IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

I’m dubful that I would EVER QUALIFY TO BE IN ANY JURY WERE “CHILDREN” ARE INVOLVED. WHY? THE ONLY SENTENCE HE, OR ANYONE ELSE WOULD RECIEVED FROM ME WOULD BE: “TO BE BOILED IN HOT HOIL.” NO EXCUSES INCLUDING “INSANITY, TEMPORARY OR NOT” THOSE INDIVIDUALS “SERVE NO USEFUL PORPOSE IN LIFE BUT TO BE FED ALIVE IF POSSIBLE TO THE “ALIGATORS” AFTER NOT BEEN FED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK OR MORE.”

I hope that guy feels so like the big, giant man he is “NOT”! The piece of sh* * should be forced to endure the same as that poor innocent child! Makes me sick!

This has to be one of the most awful ways to lose a child…that poor baby…and the guilt the mother feels I can only imagine. People like that coward are literally the devil in disguise..too weak to try and best on someone his own size…God bless that baby boys soul…
