A Brooklyn three-year-old's death has led to the police to charge her father with murder and her mother with endangering the welfare of a child. Little Ginelis Jiminez, who weighed only 24 pounds, was allegedly punched in the chest by her father Michael Jimenez, who later grabbed her causing her to fall against the side of a tub. He later beat her in a chair until she passed out. Her mother Kimberly Cantos, according to WNBC, "is alleged to have heard her daughter’s arm snap and then her scream," but did nothing (Cantos apparently didn't take the girl to the hospital after previous beatings). The child died at Interfaith Hospital. Their 1-year-old son, who was once thrown against a toilet, is now in ACS custody. It's unclear if ACS had previous contact with the family.

Oh my God....
It still baffles me that it takes a month to get a dog because of all the background checks but ANYONE can have a child. Some people should just have their balls cut off.
It's a terrible, terrible tragedy. It makes me ache.
And for reference, here's the CDC's height and weight chart (PDF) for children birth to 3 years--weighing 24 pounds at age 3 puts Ginelis in the 5th percentile, I think.
It is an awful thing to say, but maybe she is better off. She didn't stand a chance.
There are no words..
I disagree. No child (or person, for that matter) should have to suffer a violent death at the hands of a parent; to have their life extinguished before any chance of truly living. There are probably millions of foster parents out there that could have given her a loving home. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but it is better than simply writing off an innocent child because "She didn't stand a chance."
This is an awful tragedy. That they broke this little girl's bones and never took her to the hospital speaks to the pain and cruelty she must have endured daily. The only good to come out of it is that the brother is out of his parents' custody.
what a couple of animals. the death penalty is needed for these two.
thankfully, the day he gets to prison will be the same day he's beaten to death.
This is a crime for which prohibiting procreation would be appropriate, in addition to a nice, long prison sentence tragically cut short.
wow, what a monster. the death penalty was invented for people like this.
It says the 1-year old son was once thrown against a toilet. How did the ACS not do anything after that? I think that's grounds enough to take away the children!!!
People should not have babies just because they can! Like rats!
This is the outcome: abused, neglected, murdered kids!
This is the most awful story. Those poor babies. I'm assuming the mother did not intervene because she was afraid of her husband?
Not for nothing, but why is it almost all of the *recent* stories like this are done by Latinos?
"Little Ginelis Jiminez, who weighed only 24 pounds, was allegedly punched in the chest by her father Michael Jimenez, who later grabbed her causing her to fall against the side of a tub. He later beat her in a chair until she passed out."
Yo Michael; give it a rest. You're not in Iraq anymore.
it is a fact that Latinos have a HUGE problem with machismo and abuse of kids.
Either the kid pays the stupidity of the parents or the woman gets hit and then eventually stabbed for declaring emotional independence form a relationship.
But both situations have MULTIPLE examples in other cultural identities.
So if you wanna think it only happens among latinos, you are most likely a man (white chicks will say otherwise in regards to domestic abuse) in total denial.
Shes Better Off- wha kind of thing to say is dat- she wuz an angel who didnt deserve dat treatment period. Ginelis was sweet, loving, and innocent n She'll never be forgotten. Michael tried to hang himself after da fact- wha wouldve been "better off" is him killin himself before he hit those kids. you shouldnt be hittin anyone PERIOD
n its not a latino thin- its a stupid person thin
