A 28-year-old man, Christian Moniz Rabino, has been accused of murdering his girlfriend’s 1-year-old son, Kai Tesoro. Rabino allegedly told police he called 911 because Kai was having trouble breathing and stopped breathing. However, an investigation revealed that Kai had suffered severe injuries including bruises on his head and a fracture in his right leg, according to the report of People.
The police report alleges that Rabino grew frustrated with Kai’s crying and shook him when he couldn’t walk by himself. He also forced Kai to walk by plating him feet-first on the ground causing the fractures in both legs. A doctor who treated Kai described the abuse as one of the worst cases they had ever seen.
