A Baltimore man is being held without bond on charges of beating his 5-year-old daughter to death with his bare hands.
Matthew Carr, 22, did not have custody of his daughter, Mya, but she was alone with him at his home when she died of multiple internal injuries on Monday. Police say Carr called 911 to report he found his daughter unresponsive in the bathtub.
Paramedics arrived to find Mya lying on a bathroom floor in Carr’s home. Her body was covered with bruises and multiple fractures to her face, ribs, arms and legs.
Police found evidence of a clean up attempt in the bathroom. There was a strong odor of bleach present in the air, and children’s clothing had been recently washed in the sink. Mya was taken to Sinai hospital, where doctors documented her horrific injuries. Doctors also noted blood near the little girl’s vagina.
“They found bruising. They found broken ribs. They found fractures to the face,” said Donny Moses of Baltimore police.
“Some of her injuries would indicate that she had been abused in the past,” Moses told CBS Baltimore.
During a police interview, Carr admitted that he punched Mya multiple times all over her body with a closed fist for wetting herself.
Carr is being held without bail because he is considered a flight risk.

What a sick bastard!!!
Jesus HELP US!!!! My God
I hope they torture him the same way!!! I’m not 1 who believes in “pay back” but when it comes to innocent kids, knowing I have 1. It makes me angry!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS SHYT! I’M SO STEAMED RIGHT NOW…………………

To think, these are the stories made public. Imagine the stories not made public. Abuse is color blind, parenting is a choice. People should not make babies they do not know how to nor wish to care for. Kids are a gift, to create life is a gift not to be taken selfishly. The people who want kids to love and adore cannot have them but those who do not need them pop them out over and over. People make big fusses over abortions, birth control but if taking a life saves a life…people should make the best decision. I would rather give people alternate resources than to keep having kids who our only job is to breathe good things into be killed after they are here and just learning about the world.
“Her body was covered with bruises and multiple fractures to her face, ribs, arms and legs.”
“Carr admitted that he punched Mya multiple times all over her body with a closed fist for wetting herself.”
I HOOOOOPe when they send him to jail. The inmates know his crimes. He wont make it long. The only thing that may keep him safe from butt boogie and beat downs is protective custody.
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONZES
<—-and people like ME have difficulty conceiving while these heartless bastards don't even give 2 SHYTS about their children! I can't today….
@Wut I think the inmates will cause he has nice lips and is kinda cute

this makes no kind of sense I’m so sick of hearing about stories like this
____________________________________________
I was thinking the same thing as I was reading it! The sad thing is we hear about the documented incidents. Just think about the poor babies that are getting beat like this….day in and day out….and there’s no one coming to their rescue!
good morning!
*prince akeem voice* i am very happy to be here!
:cosign @ Dawn
@ Fe
<—- consoling, sisterly hug!
People who lack patience should never have kids. This is ridiculous!
She’s 5!
Why did he beat her like she was a grown a*s man??????? He punched her in the face repeatedly???? Wow…just wow.
Thank goodness she is with the Lord now..
for her family’s strength and
for love in the hearts of her little friends.
Now this monster is going to be where he belongs. Snake
GM and Happy Friday to everyone
This absolutely breaks my heart. Karma is a bish. Hopefully he gets what he deserves. RIP Mya
people making babies with anybody and everybody and leaving their babies with anybody and everybody. i’m starting to feel like BOTH parents should be charged. americans need to get waaayyyy tougher on child abuse and homicide. we’ve just heard that there have been like 30 something deaths in the new year alone in metro atlanta and people want to blame DFACS instead of the MFs that killed the babies. in most cases, these folks have files a mile long but they keep putting the kids back and the parents keep abusing them or allowing the abuse to happen. BOTH the MFs need to go to jail.
:hugs: @Tatted and everyone else in here…
I gotta lurk this one out, plus I gotta finish this STUPID project…catch y’all on the next one…
@Tatted-did you check out that song?
@Everyone else, Hey it’s Friday

OH GOD I wanna hurt this man!
Twin, Tatted,Vero, Dawn Good morning. *goes back to watching my back on this train*
Wow…just wow! This boy had no coping skills, no parenting skills, and no decision-making skills. It is sad that people, especially Black people, still do not see how horrific physical assaults are to children (yes, it is physical assault and not physical discipline). Physically assaulting children can easily lead to murder. There was no reason to brutalize and assault this defenseless child for soiling herself. She may have had bladder issues, she may have been sexually abused (which leads to most victims soiling themselves…and blood was found near her vaginal area), the physical abuse may have taken its toll on the young girl resulting in her responding by soiling herself when the perpertrator is around, etc. The horror she faced is not hard to fathom because Black parents refuse to use healthy means of discipline and to understand that rearing children under the master-slave mentality does not result in socially and mentally healthy adults.

from the baltimore crime examiner:
DEANDRE ANTHONY JONES
Mom was at work working hard for the money no doubt when she got a call from 17 year old DeAndre Anthony Jones of Pasada on May 13 2003 telling her 3 year old Jaysia Lana Lavre had fallen in the bathtub and was sick. Her mom couldn’t leave work and told him to call 911. When medics arrived her condition was so serious that she was flown to John Hopkins Hospital admitted with hemorrhaging and swelling in her brain and eyes. She died three days later and DeAndre was arrested charged as an adult with her murder after cops searched the apartment and found three dents in a wall – one that had strands of her hair in it. He eventually told them he wanted to play video games and Jaysia was disturbing him, causing him to go off. He got a 20 year prison sentence.
DAVID ARTHUR MALLOY
Eighteen month old Sara Ann Concannon’s mom had put her live in boyfriend out of her house just one week before he came back to do some babysitting for her while she went to work. 20 year old David Arthur Malloy from Pasadena was babysitting the toddler on February 18 2002 when her mom got a call from him at work telling her Sara was hurt from a fall. Unable to leave work, she told him that Sara’s father was due to pick her up for a visit and since she couldn’t leave her job, her father would handle it. When her father showed up to get his daughter and saw her sprawled out on the couch fighting for her life with her eyes rolling in the back of her head, he immediately called 911. Sara was rushed to John Hopkins Hospital where doctors found injuries to her chest and at least two skull fractures. They determined her injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome. The child was shaken so violently that her skull was broken, sending blood in her spinal cord. Investigators discovered that David made 8 calls in 9 minutes but not one of them was to 911 looking for help for Sara. When arrested, he gave several different stories of what happened before finally confessing to beating and shaking the child because she had taken bread from a drawer in the kitchen and made a mess with it. Convicted of child abuse resulting in death he got a 20 year prison sentence.
they should cut his genitals off and stuff them in his mouith and let him choke to death! bastard and a coward
@ Boot – Oh yeah, I heard that song before. I DO LIKE THAT SONG! Yeah, that’s one of my cuts!
I’m gonna go to the
on this one. I will see yall in the Robin Thicke post. My heart is too heavy for this!
um, and there’s more of those stories….
@ WUT
<— consoling in nature!
Morning All
This story just made my heart drop…
The inmates will rip him a new ahole….not only the inmates, but the guards will rip him a new one too…trust that! Sick bastard!
Huge
@Fe. It’s going to work
Where’s cali ? she said I gave warts to Brenden
Bootcamp, make sure you give us ALL the details on monday.
I want him dead. That’s all I got.
Father God…If “Free Will” is our gift…why does it produce such ugliness? Father God, how do I protest and argue your exsistence against those who do not believe, when these are the examples they use to argue that you are not here? Father, when I pray for peace that surpases understanding….is that an exscuse to ignore all the chaos around me. Father God, if I am not to question, allow the confusion of life to stop.
My heart and prayers to Mya and her family…and dare I say, even her father…
So sad…got me crying at my desk…
Justice will never be served for what he has done. Even if he get’s beaten to death, by the hands of others, it’s still not enough.. SMH !! Praying for the family and trying to keep the faith. Everyday, it get’s harder and harder to believe, when children are dying by the hands of their own parents.. I can’t!!!!!11
Hopefully there’s a special place in hell for child abusers like him.
She’s crying in the pic w/him. The other pic she has a bandage on her head.
I’M CURIOUS WHAT HER RELATIONSHIP WAS LIKE WITH HER FATHER BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, AND HOW OFTEN SHE VISITED HIM
A CHILD CAN AND WILL WET THEMSELVES WHEN THEY BECOME NERVOUS OR FRIGHTENED OF SOMEONE~
IT’S CASES LIKE THESE, WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW SOME FOLKS SAY DON’T KEEP A CHILD FROM THEIR FATHER OR HOW WOMEN FORCE THEIR CHILDREN ON MEN WHO DON’T WANT TO BE A FATHER TO THE CHILD
SAFETY FIRST AND THE CHILD’S OVERAL WELL-BEING IF ANY PARENT MOTHER OR FATHER JEOPARDIZES THAT, DON’T ASSUME OR ASSIGN POSITIVE TRAITS BASED ON TITLE ALONE TO THOSE WHO DON’T ACTUALLY POSSESS THEM
WE SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME, TRYING TO FIGURE FOLKS OUT-WHEN THE ONLY ISSUE SHOULD BE WHAT IS AND WHAT AINT, DAMN WHY-SOME FOLKS AREN’T LOGICAL OR RATIONAL AND NEED TO BE LEFT THE HELL ALONE AND OR LOCKED THE HELL UP

Man, it upsets me to hear about children being abused. Someone needs to whip his azz like he beat that damn child! Freaking disgusting! God, please help us! We’re losing… natural affection for one another is gone!
only God can deal with these types. there is not enough “justice” in our system to give them what they deserve. i HAVE to believe that there will be true justice in the afterlife.
It’s too early for this. I can’t take reading a story like this this early. So sad. I’m
for this little girl’s family and that she is resting in the arms of the Lord right now.
Bastard. Fcking, useless bastard.
i also have to thank God for taking his child back. sometimes we have to look at the big picture. her suffering has ended.
Punk ass nygga has probably NEVA in his life stood up to a another dude…. poor lil girl
And NOT that it would be better if it were a son (im not tryin to say that at ALL), but the fact that he beat on his baby GIRL….just adds something that ignites my f*ckin SOUUULLLLLL!!!!!! *taks a walk to walk off my anger, that i TRULEY did not have before reading this*
I’M CURIOUS WHAT WAS HIS CAPTION UNDER THAT FACEBOOK PHOTO-DUH?!?!
SHE LOOKS FRIGHTENED AS HE STARES BLANKLY INTO THE CAMERA-I’M CERTAIN THIS ALSO WAS SOME FORM OF PUNISHMENT TO HUMILIATE THE CHILD
IT’S A SAD, SICK, DAY WHEN MEN WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THEIR FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND THE ELDERLY
BUT ARE THE VERY ONES WHO ASSAULT AND KILL THEM AT ASTRONOMICAL RATES
Dirty Bastard. There is a special place in HELL for men/ppl like this. LADIES – plz be more selective with whom u have children with…smg, so sad. RIP lil lady.
I love children but I am having problems conceiving, so this story makes me sick to my stomach. It actually brought tears to my eyes. With all the birth control and other options out there why have kids if you dont want them? This is is just cray as fck.
Smdh. People can be so damn evil…I’m sure the inmates in county will hem him up real good…
atrocious

Will say a
thanks caligirl
no problem solving skills, no parenting skills, no human feelings… even an animal knows how to care for their young… These demons just take over the body/mind and some knuckle heads for fall
This story hurt my heart
People like this make me sick!
RIP Princess Mya
Jay Bee that’s what it is demons…They can come through the tv, radio, and through word of mouth. The devil stays busy…
And Genia, we can’t question, we have to remain faithful and encourage others to be as well.
(tight one) I pray that your heart gets a little lighter because you’ve had to deal with some terrible news and I know (can only imagine) that you are still hurting. We all have to prayer for one another. He hears us and knows what’s in our hearts 
wow. praying for Mya’s Mom and her Family at this very heartbreaking time. Mya’s mom has to deal with the loss of her child by the very hands of her own Father. This will be a long/tough road for her mom travel. RIP. little Mya, God’s got you in got you wrapped in arms away from all harm.
Matthew Carr is 22, the child is 5. He was 17 when this child was born. Did he ever get a chance to bond w/his daughter, or was he a last minute babysitter?
What in the world is really going on with these folks! I have 4 daughters…ranging from ages 15 to 2. I can’t even imagine doing such a thing to anyone…not to talk about my own damn child. SMDH
Not today Sandra….not today
RIP Babygirl!!!
JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!!!

My heart and prayers to Mya and her family
When I had my daughter at 15, I was so protective of her I didn’t want to leave her with anybody! It took me a long while before I would leave her with her dad or his family alone. Many years later there have been no incidents, nothing but love, and I’m thankful for sticking to my guns. I can’t imagine what this mother and her family is going through.

*************************************
sounds like he was a last minute everything. i think that’s a sticker on her forehead instead of a bandage though.
Sick F*ck!!!
I would think that with all the child beating deaths, we (people as a whole) would learn from one person’s error. this is truly sad.
