Sophia O'Neill and her killer 17-Year-Old Boy Stomps, Kicks Girlfriend's Daughter to DeathMINNEAPOLIS – Cody Feran-Baum, 17, was charged Monday with second-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter, reports CBS Minnesota. Sophia O'Neill died June 10 from injuries sustained while she was in the care of the suspect. The little girl stopped breathing around noon and was rushed to the hospital.
Feran-Baum allegedly told police that while babysitting Sophia the night before her death, it was "so overwhelming to hear her cry and scream" that he "kinda snapped on her." Police say the teen kicked the baby in the back two times and then later when the baby was still crying he allegedly stepped on her back.
The morning of Sophia's death, Feran-Baum knocked on a neighbor's door and asked if he could use a phone, according to a criminal complaint. He said that Sophia seemed sick and when she awakened from a nap, she was staggering and almost fell. After leaving with the phone, the teen returned five to 10 minutes later with the victim in his arms and asked if he could get a ride to the hospital. The neighbor called 911 after noticing the baby's skin was cold, clammy and appeared to be blue. The neighbor then performed CPR on the baby.
Emergency personnel transported Sophia to the hospital where she died that evening. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner determined Sophia's death was the result of multiple blunt force trauma injuries to her torso region. She suffered significant injuries to her torso, including massive damage to her kidneys, pancreas and liver. She also had eight rib fractures.
The child’s 20-year-old mother told authorities she left her daughter with her boyfriend earlier that day.
Feran-Baum, who was charged with murder, is being held at a juvenile detention center.Sources: CrimeSider, June 16, 2015, and Free Republic.

I can't decide who's dumber, single women who are too stupid to use birth control and get knocked up, or the men who have no better sense than to date single mothers. This kid was 17 years old and the mother had no better sense than to leave him in charge of her kid. Now the kid is dead, the guy is going to spend the rest of his worthless life in prison and it won't be long before she gets knocked up again and has another kid for some other guy to abuse.
Before all you feminists get your knickers in a twist and start bashing me, the term "single mother" does not apply to widows because widows had a husband when they got knocked up and can't help being single. In other words, widows, unlike single mothers, are respectable women.

I don't think that we have a lot of feminists in this group, Jason, but it's still awful what happened to that innocent little girl. Her mother should go to prison along with the SOB that killed her for using such poor judgment.

I agree with you, Jason, when it comes to single mothers. What this idiot did is unforgivable, but the mother shouldn't have left her child in his care. It's just like those men that are caught on video kicking their girlfriend's dog. Women force their children and pets on men. I really don't care anything about dogs, but both the idiot and the mother need to spend the rest of their lives in prison for what happened to this little girl.

I had a friend who dated a single mother for a while and he hated her kid. She tried to force the kid on him, like she wanted him to bond with the kid. One time she tried to put his name on the daycare pick up list so he could pick up the kid from daycare, but he wouldn't let her do it. I told him that he needed to break it off because it was a package deal. He finally came to his senses and broke up with her. If he'd married her, it wouldn't have lasted long.
