KingsleyGoogle I-Reporter, report A
2-year-old baby girl that died after her mother's boyfriend allegedly
performed WWE wrestling moves on the little one, including a "Batista
Bomb". The Little Girl called Addie Cook died at hospital a few days later after suffering
traumatic injuries.
"Addie was suffering from a seizure when EMS arrived at
her home in Jefferson County, Missouri, on 16 May. The emergency
responders said the child has obvious signs of trauma" According
to Fox 2 News.
Richard
Gamache Jr, 24, has been booked for abuse and neglect of a child, while
the mother, Cheyenne Cook, 19, has been charged with endangering the
welfare of a child.
Police
have said that the mother knew about the abuse and did not stop it
because she was afraid of losing custody of her child and endangering
her relationship with her boyfriend.
Gamache
has denied carrying out the abuse, but has said that the child may have
suffered from a head injury from a wrestling move that included
striking her head on a concrete wall near his bed.
According to the news reporter Police
have recovered photos sent by Gamanche to Cook that showed bruises on
Addie's face and forehead on 13 May. They have also discovered text
messages, wherein Gamanche has said that he caused the bruises by
"playing too rough" with his girlfriend's child. The couple were living
together and it had been only six days before the incident took place.
The WWE Board has issued a statement saying that the guilty parties must be punished:
"We
are deeply saddened by this tragic death and hope that the guilty
parties are brought to justice. There is no excuse or justification for
the brutal and ultimately fatal beating of a 2-year-old child by a grown
man. This is a clear case of criminal intent and a lack of parental
supervision."
