Atlanta boy, three, 'beaten to death over a cupcake' - BBC News US

Quote:

Police say Kejuan Mason sneaked the cupcake from the kitchen while at home with Glenndria and Lashirley Morris.
According to the indictment, Lashirley beat the child with a baseball bat while her sister Glenndria, his legal guardian, spanked him with her hand.
He died from blunt force trauma to his head and his torso, say medics.
