There are some things that Gothamist really hates reading about. Thursday afternoon in Queens, Kevin Gary Jr. was brought into Jamaica Hospital with some alarming injuries: a fractured skull and collar bone, swelling to his head and torso, and various bruises. Kevin's parents, Kevin Gary Sr. and Katrina Calloway , who originally planned to abandon him, are now awaiting arraignment on multiple charges including first-degree assault. There is also a history of abuse by the couple. Authorities said that they once bound the infant's wrists using a rubberband so he couldn't remove his pacifier. Kevin was then placed near a heater that caused burns severe burns. Even more shocking (if that's possible) is that Gary Sr. is 32 and Calloway is only 16! He was arrested on statutory rape charges shortly after Kevin's birth.
Can we all agree that both people should be locked up for the maximum of 25 years?




here's hoping this child has a brighter future with people who will love and cherish him.
what is wrong with people?
Twenty-five years is not long enough. Calloway will still be of child-bearing age by the time she gets out.
public hanging. It's just that simple. i would go for firing squad or beheading as strong runner-ups. seriously. This is so sad and horrific i'm at the brink of tears just typing this!
Sorry, we can't agree on the 25 years. I'd prefer mandatory sterilization. Some people are too stupid to have kids.
"Can we all agree that both people should be locked up for the maximum of 25 years?" WHY? cuase they're black? Gothamist is SOO fucking racist now.
i don't see any mention of race at all. but i think the max because of the horrendous nature of their alleged crimes.
I truly doubt he'll have much of a future,
once you're born poor in this country, chances are you'll stay poor. (note, I wrote "chances")
Not to mention the foster care system when they turn 18, they're on their own, usually.
so, as Journey once sang, "don't stop believing"
punching and slapping a 6 month old? that is crazy and sick. hopefully the baby will be placed with a permanent loving home very quickly so he can overcome the injuries and actually have a shot at a normal life.
i think the girl can still be rehabilitated, because she is still a child herself. she obviously has a lot of mental problems, i think she needs medical treatment + therapy.
as well as electroshock treatments. daily.
kb, the girl's participation in such a horrendous crime does not make her worthy of rehabilitation.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY?
Can't raise a baby? Then don't have one...
Today there's a really simple concept that even a 16 year old can understand called BIRTH CONTROL!!!!! Idiots!
Both "parents" should rot in jail for the rest of their lives.
