The boy had had a birthday three days earlier on June 27. Robert Leroy Wilson, 30, the mother’s boyfriend, was charged with first and second-degree assault, child abuse and reckless endangerment. He also refused to get medical help to the child for about four hours and even confused the personnel of an ambulance called by another man. Wilson was jailed on $600,000 bond at Washington County Detention Center Charges against him could be upgraded following the boy’s death, police said. Unfortunately, violence against children is universal reported according to data presented by the United Nations. The report found that about two thirds of children worldwide between ages 2 and 14 (almost 1 billion) are subjected to physical punishment by their caregivers on a regular basis.
