Memphis toddler beaten to death with basketball shoe

From BlackVoices: A Memphis, Tenn., man was babysitting his girlfriend's toddler when she defecated on the floor. The man reacted to the accident by beating the 2-year-old toddler to death with a basketball shoe. Calvin Jones, 23, admitted to local authorities that the forms of discipline he used on toddler Saniiyah Kuykendall included smacking her around with the back of his hand, then beating her with a basketball shoe. When the toddler's 21-year-old mother, Anisha Alford, returned home, the little girl complained of not feeling well and, when touched, felt cold. An eyewitness at the apartment complex where the couple lives told police that at about 11:15 p.m. on the night of the incident, the child was seen spitting and gagging, and that her eyes were rolling toward the back of her head. The person advised the couple to take the child to a nearby hospital emergency room but the suggestion fell on deaf ears.
