Dad busted for failing to report abuse: Stepson ‘is not my responsibility’

A Florida man who was arrested after investigators found his 5-year-old stepson severely malnourished and still in diapers told authorities the boy was not his “responsibility” since he comes from a “rich and white” family.

Brian Hall, 29, is facing charges of failing to report suspected child abuse after his wife, Naomie Hall, 24, was arrested in late June when caseworkers from the Florida Department of Children and Families visited her home for a follow-up visit in a child neglect investigation, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

“He is not my responsibility,” Hall told investigators, according to a Daytona Beach Police Department arrest affidavit. “I’m not his father. I come from a rich and white family.”

The boy – who was so malnourished that he couldn’t speak or stand – was discovered eating pieces of cereal off filthy carpet in the home. He suffered from dehydration and weighed just under 25 pounds, which authorities said didn’t even register on growth charts for a child his age.

Police said the couple share a home in Daytona Beach and are parents of two other children in the home. While being question by investigators, Brian Hall pointed to his children and said, according to an arrest report: “Those two are taken care of.”

Brian Hall was legally obligated to report the neglect of the boy, investigators said.

The boy, meanwhile, remained in intensive care as of Tuesday at a hospital. He’s also receiving physical and speech therapy. The state’s Department of Children and Families took custody of the couple’s other two children, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Naomie Hall admitted to authorities during her arrest on June 29 that the boy went without food for stretches as long as four days – and said she made no attempt to feed him. Hall said she and the boy did not communicate but acknowledged knowing that he was hungry “because he will chew on his hands,” according to an arrest report obtained by the Sun Sentinel.

The boy, who also had blistered hands and feet, was prescribed an appetite stimulant, but Hall said she didn’t use it because it was ineffective and made her son drowsy. The boy’s clothes were “filthy” and he apparently had not bathed in “quite a while,” police said.

Police and child welfare advocates declined to release details on the welfare of the other two children in the home at the time of Naomie Hall’s arrest on a charge of child neglect causing great bodily harm.

“We’re of course investigating thoroughly to ensure the safety of these children,” a DCF spokesman told the Sun Sentinel last week. “We’re still working to gather information but our focus is on keeping these children safe and healthy.”

The guy is right to some degree. It’s not his kid, not his responsibility. Kids will most certainly remind you that you are not their father and mothers will remind you they are their children, you have no right to discipline. So therefore you should not be responsible for the child’s well being. The way he went about it was kinda f~~~ed up, but this wouldn’t have happened if the little s~~~’s own mother wasn’t in jail for neglecting the kid. She’s a s~~~head, who probably had a baby with a s~~~head.

He was probably afraid that he would be held responsible for the abuse. After all, he has the b~~~~, he gets the shaft.

YOU think? So much for being a decent man. F~~~ the bitch and screw the kid.

Bad enough that the little boy has to deal with his single mom. Imagine having to deal with that piece of s~~~ man on top of it!

That child is one of many. One of many. Sick people never end.

Agreed. They should never be released.

Maybe a solid argument for the pro abortion crowd.
Very f~~~ed up that anyone could knowingly leave a child in this condition. This fellow is pretty much the same as the women who beat the children because the man would not give her the cell phone.

Give me my phone or I'll f~~~ing kill you.

He is worse actually. Men are better than that as a rule.

Everyday above ground is a good one. Everyday above ground while single...better still.

that guy is a piece of S~~~.
no human should be treated the way that child was,
the fact it wasn’t his is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
he’s 100 % a piece of s~~~.
i wish the same on him.
let him eat off the floor of a JAIL CELL.
let him STARVE like that poor kid.
this has nothing to do with gender,
it’s a lack of HUMANITY.

He is a pure psycho-path with no sense of empathy. It’s good they took the other children away from this monster.

Not just from him, from her too. She was already in jail for child neglect.

poor boy, I hope he recovers

children’s services are just as much to blame though, if a man reports any concerns about a child involving a mother they put it down as ‘domestic violence’ by the man

because it’s about the man having ‘power and control’

I kid you not

[CarnageParticipant 22113]

God… Jesus. Put then down both of them.

They are both the same. She is a monster, but that guy got no soul at all.

Just sacrifice those two filthy animals, they are not humans.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Ohhh god.
This is too much.
Sorry guys but this world must end.

I hope Kim saves us all and let a nuke drop.

The guy has issues:

He was f~~~ing a woman capable of neglecting her own child this way.

And he created two more children with her.

He has obviously been motivated by his dick. And like the c~~~ he is with, has no capacity for empathy and compassion.

Hope he enjoys the food in jail.

these two sub-humans should just be euthanized. no need for discussion. the whole species has gone feral if you ask me.

As more and more men opt out, this is only going to get worse. I think we’re just at the tip of the iceberg.

You automatically become a legal guardian of a child when you marry their parent. Claiming that it’s not his kid is just legally inaccurate. He may not be liable for may of the abuses if he did not cause them himself, but he certainly is liable for not feeding the child. Not bathing the child. For all the neglect.

Not reporting the abuse? He is an abuser.

His excuse is just pathetic. What the hell did he think getting married meant?

Ok. Then do it.

There seems to be a never-ending supply of scumbags down in Florida. Neither of these animals has a conscious or a soul
