Three people have been arrested and charged after a two-year-old girl died from injuries inflicted by her father because she soiled her diaper. According to reports;
2 year old Peyton Graham was at the apartment with her father, 20 year old Dartarious Graham, and his cousin, 19 year old Robert Franklin.
Dartarious Graham became upset that his daughter had soiled her diaper and began to beat the child with a belt while he and the victim were in the child's bedroom. This was observed by Franklin who did nothing to protect the child and actually walked away while the beating took place.
Franklin reported hearing the beating continue and that Dartarious Graham eventually came out of the room with the child. Franklin and Dartarious Graham then observed the child go limp and called for medical assistance.
The mother of the child, 23 year old Elizabeth Graham, was not at the home when this beating occurred however investigators have learned that Dartarious had a history of beating the child and Elizabeth Graham failed to protect her daughter and report the abuse.
This information was corroborated by older wounds that were observed on the child's body.
Dartarious Graham was booked into the El Paso County DetentionFacility on the charge of Capital Murder.
Robert Franklin and Elizabeth Graham were also booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility on the charge of Injury to a Child by Omission.
I think it's only right that all three and charged. How do mothers watch their men, whether it is the child's father, her lover or any male relative to abuse a child and keep quiet?
