Mom’s Boyfriend ‘Beat Her 3-Year-Old Son to Death’ Because He ‘Soiled His Diaper’

A Florida man has been arrested and charged with murder after he beat his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son to death after a diaper accident.

The boy’s mother, Chantel Haye, 20, brought her son, Khyese Anthony Coach, to a hospital in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, but the young boy had already died.

Corey Gordon, 28, had been babysitting the child while Haye went to start her new job, according to the Orlando Sun-Sentinel.

On the day of the murder, Gordon drove Haye to work before taking Khyese back to his apartment.

At some point in the day, Gordon called Haye and admitted to her that he became infuriated when Khyse’s diaper had leaked onto his sister’s furniture.

At the end of her shift, Gordon put the toddler in the car and picked Haye up from work.

“There were tears in his eyes,” Haye said about the boyfriend.

Haye then noticed her son in the backseat. At first, she thought he was sleeping.

“But when I looked more closely at him I saw bruises on his face, his temples, his nose,” Haye said. “I kept saying, “What happened to his face?”

Gordon told Haye that the boy was sick, but after getting in the backseat to see for herself, she realized they needed to go to the hospital.

“His arm was stiff — it was so unreal,” she said. “I thought it would break.”

However, Gordon drove slowly and would not speed up at Haye’s request. When they finally arrived at Broward Health Coral Springs, Haye rushed Khyese into the building. Gordon did not stick around.

Nurses informed Haye soon thereafter that the boy had been dead for at least three hours.

A SWAT team from Broward Sheriff’s Office then arrested boyfriend Gordon on Tuesday.

Authorities have charged him with premeditated murder. He is being held in Broward’s Main Jail.
