Man Kills 2-Month-Old Son for the Most Insane Reason

Danielle Whyte, 31, had given birth to her baby boy, Mason, just seven weeks before he was allegedly murdered at the hands of his own father. 51-year-old Jose Feliciano, the father of the child, was allegedly jealous of baby Mason for “stealing” all his partner’s attention.

On Dec. 10, police say Feliciano became angry after hearing Mason crying and yelled at him in his room to stop crying but the baby kept crying. Not long after, Whtye heard ‘several loud bangs.’ Investigators say the baby suffered ‘blunt force trauma.’

Whyte claims to have made several attempts to revive her son but by then, it was too late. She says Feliciano allegedly threatened to kill her if she called police, so she decided not to.

No one knew about Mason’s murder until weeks later when Whyte overdosed on pills in an attempt to harm herself and was sent to a New York hospital.

It was in the psych ward that she told a hospital worker that Feliciano had taken the life of her baby boy and where his body was buried. Police were quickly alerted and they eventually found little Mason buried under a pile of dirt with a rose on top.

Now, even though she might not have physically killed her son, she’s charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges, according to New York Daily News, to which she pleaded not guilty.

Officials say Whyte knew what she was doing when she left Mason in the ‘danger’ of her boyfriend’s care and did nothing to help him survive.

A CCTV showed him walking out of their apartment with a gym bag the night baby Mason was killed. Apparently, the infant was in that bag, he buried him in the same bag and acted like nothing happened.
