[one...two...tree 2,762]

A 4-year-old boy died after he was beaten with a belt Friday as punishment for soiling himself, Mesa Police said.

The boy and his 6-year-old brother were left in the care of the mother's boyfriend, Jorge Busso, 23, while she went to work, the police report said.

Busso reportedly drove the mother and 6-year-old to work and school while the 4-year-old waited at home in the 200 block of South 89th Street.

According to the police report, Busso smelled a foul odor coming from the 4-year-old's room.

When he realized the smell was from the boy soiling his pants, Busso yelled at the boy and stated he was "very upset."

Busso had the boy stand alone in a corner of his room for a short period of time before returning and cleaning the boy in the shower.

Police said Busso then told the boy he would be punished and placed him against a sharp corner. Busso reportedly told police that he initially spanked the clothed boy's buttocks with his hand.

Officers said Busso told them that next he used a belt to hit the boy on his forearms, back, buttocks, and face.Busso told police the boy would not sit still, so he pushed him against the corner which was reinforced with two-by-fours, according to the report.

Busso reportedly told the boy to stand in the corner and then left the room for 30 minutes, police said.

He returned to the boy's bedroom after hearing a thump, officers said.

Busso discovered the thump was the sound of the boy hitting the ground. He was lying on the floor "unresponsive and limp," the report said.

Police said Busso placed the motionless boy in his bed.

Approximately and hour and a half later Busso picked up the boy's brother and mother, police said

The boy's mother went to check on him and found him in bed.

He was unresponsive with purple and white fingers and toes and red bruises and marks on his forehead and face, officers said.

She immediately took the boy to Banner Baywood Medical Center, police said. From there, he was airlifted to Phoenix Children's Hospital.

The hospital contacted authorities citing the boy's "massive head trauma" and bruising on his body, the report states. According to the report, the mother initially told police the boy was with a babysitter and had fallen off the bed.

Police discovered that the mother's boyfriend was actually the one looking after the boy. When contacted, police said Busso gave them false information.

Officers said Busso provided a false name and birth date as well as untruthful information regarding how the boy's injuries occurred.

Authorities said the boy died Sunday night as a result of his injuries. Police arrested Busso in connection with the death. He is facing possible first-degree-murder charges.

Hang him by his balls with barbed wire and beat him almost to death. Then when he comes to, do it again. Repeat.

Physical discipline is good for children. It teaches them about authority and respect and stuff like that.
