Flint Police Detective Tyrone Booth said “Any abuse to a defenseless 3-year-old kid is unnecessary, uncalled for and it just shouldn’t happen”.

On Saturday, a 3-year-old boy was brought to Hurley Medical Center injured severely. Investigators believed the abuse actually just happened the day before.
“The injuries were extremely serious,” as explained by Detective Booth. “Injuries to his head and then mid-section of his body, several injuries.”
After leaving the hospital, the police went to the child’s home on Leland Street and proceeded to arrest 3 adults. Two however have since been released.
On Tuesday, Dustin Minot, 28 years old and the ex-boyfriend of the toddler’s mother, was charged with 1st degree child abuse.
Detective Booth further explained “The sentence for that could be up to life imprisonment, so extremely serious”. 5 other children have also been taken from home, among which the youngest is just 3-months-old. 2 of the missing children are Minot’s.
Detective Booth reported that all of the children are safe, and are in the care of Child Protective Services, while their brother continues to heal.
“It’s especially difficult having kids of my own to see injuries like the injuries that this 3-year-old baby has.” Detective Booth continued. “And, to experience and to think about what he experienced receiving those injuries, it’s hard to see and not let it bother you, it bothers you,”
It’s still unclear what led to the abuse, or if this was the first time Minot beat the toddler.
A man has been accused of keeping his daughter as a sex slave for 20 years and having eight children with her and is now on trial.
Argentine Man Is Accused Of Fathering Eight Children With His DAUGHTER After Keeping Her As A Sex Slave For 20 Years
A DNA test allegedly showed that Argentine Domingo Bulacio, 56, was the one responsible for his own daughter’s eight pregnancies after repeatedly raping her.
Bulacio was eventually arrested after the woman took her youngest son to the doctor. When the doctor asked who the boy’s father was, she confessed the truth about his parentage to him.
The father was discovered hiding 30 miles away from his hometown at a relative’s house in Loreto, Santiago del Estero, northern Argentina. He was then taken into custody after 45 days fleeing the police in January 2016.
After undergoing the DNA test, Bulacio was charged with numerous sex crimes and will now stand trial. According to local reports, the victim’s mother abandoned her, and she was then allegedly physically abused by Bulacio.
Currently, out of the eight children, six are living at the boarding school of Eva Peron in Santiago del Estero, reported the local media.
There is no further information regarding the mother, whose name has not been made public.
