A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller by her mother’s boyfriend and new charges are expected, police said Tuesday. Darisabel Baez was pronounced dead late Monday at Hershey Medical Center, police Lt. Ron Camacho said.

The girl’s mother, Neida E. Baez, 19, called for an ambulance Sunday saying her boyfriend, Harve L. Johnson, had brought the unconscious child to her, limp and wet from an attempt to revive her in a bathtub, a police affidavit said.

Johnson acknowledged beating the girl with a video game controller but did not say why, police said. Baez said Johnson had abused the girl in the past and said she heard the girl scream after Johnson beat her Sunday, according to the affidavit.

Johnson, 26, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and other counts.

Baez was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Detective Dana Ward said Baez was charged because she did not intervene or try to get help for Darisabel.

Camacho said that because of the girl’s death new charges would be filed.

Johnson and Baez remained in custody Tuesday. His bail was set at $200,000; hers was $25,000.

Through police, family members declined requests for interviews Tuesday. Court officials said they did not know whether Johnson and Baez had lawyers to speak for them.

This…oh, man. This makes me wish that we had stiffer penalties for people who kill kids. Really, the stiffest penalties should be for the people who murder those who cannot fight back. I can’t believe that her mother just stood there and LET her fucking boyfriend beat her baby, even after she heard the screams of pain and fear…and it wasn’t even the FIRST time! The bitch continued to date a “man” who was violent with her helpless little girl. And he was 26 years old! Do people just not grow the fuck up and learn to control their tempers anymore? The guy should have strangled himself with the controller cord before he ever had it enter into his teeny brain that it was okay to beat his girlfriend’s child to death.

Stuff like this is the main reason why I most likely won’t date anyone if Steve and I should break up after the baby is born. I’m afraid that if someone got it into his head that it was okay to beat my child, I would have to eviscerate him…it would be hard to explain to the police, but I’m sure that they’d understand that when my baby’s life is in danger, I will do whatever it takes to protect my baby. If it’s a choice between dating a baby beater or being single for the rest of my life, I’ll choose to be single for the rest of my life. No man or woman is worth the life, health, safety, and happiness of my little one.
