Current News Headlines: Milwaukee Dad Kills 5-Year-Old Son For Eating Father’s Day Cake
A father of a 5-year-old Milwaukee boy has been charged with reckless homicide for allegedly fatally assaulting his son. It’s understood Travis Stackhouse punched his son after he ate Father’s Day cheesecake.
Stackhouse had initially lied that Sir had fallen down the stairs earlier this month and sustained a laceration on his sternum, three cuts on his back, a cut on his lip and a bruising both eyes, according to Fox 6 Now. However, the police found his statement dubious, especially following an investigation and autopsy. Stackhouse eventually admitted to punching his son in the face and stomach. Witness statements from his other children confirmed Stackhouse had hit Sir.
According to reports, Sir’s mother, and Stackhouse’s girlfriend, had been out of the house during the incident. She was the one who eventually called 911 at 3 a.m. the following morning, after noticing something was wrong. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene by officials.
An autopsy revealed the child suffered blunt force trauma to the abdomen, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Stackhouse is being held on a $25,000 bond at the Milwaukee County Jail and faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted.
