Dominick Calhoun

This sweet faced angel is Dominick Calhoun. When you look into his innocent eyes, you think yo yourself, who would want to cause harm to him. What could this beautiful little boy have done so wrong that not only would someone want to hurt him, but take him away from the ones who really loved him?

In short, this is Dominick's tragic story.

On April 8th 2010, 4-year old Dominick was sitting on the couch at his home. While he sat on the couch, he had an accident and wet himself and the couch. Now instead of just picking him up, telling him it was ok cause accidents happen, Brandon Hayes, his mother's boyfriend, got enraged and began to punch and kick Dominick over and over in the head. Still upset, Brandon then turned and began to abuse Corrine, Dominick's mom. You see, what Brandon was mad about, was the fact that someone had to now pay for the couch to be cleaned. Day two: Still upset, Brandon again starts kicking Dominick in the head and the private area. How much more can this poor baby take?

Day three: Dominick is now unconscious and listless. Reports say that Brandon dragged Dominick by his arms and kicked him again and would beat him through out the day. Day four: Christine Baker, Dominick's Aunt, come to buy drugs from her sister and Brandon. Corrine informs her that Dominick is sleep in his room and not to go in. Thats when Brandon tells Corrine to go and check on the baby. Christine goes into Dominick's room and sees her nephew's badly beaten, swollen unconscious body lying on the bed. She runs out of the apartment in horror at what she has just saw. Corrine begs her not to call the cops, she was fearful that they would think she abuse Dominick and she would go back to jail and violate her probation. Wow, mommy of the year huh? So worried about her own well being, she is denying her son the medical attention he so badly needed.

Christine runs to the parking lot and calls Dominick's grandfather who then rushes over to the apartments to be met by Brandon trying to convince Rick (grandpa) that he didnt do this. Rick is not buying any of this, he punches Brandon and starts to look for Tyler, Dominick's brother, who is in the Northend of the apartments. The police find Dominick wet in a tee and a pull-up moaning and struggling to breathe. Dominick is rushed to the hospital. He is examined and declared brain dead and placed on life support. Rick now has to make what had to be the hardest phone call in his life. He had to call his son Eric and tell him to get to the hospital. Corrine is taken to the hospital, Brandon was arrested. Family gathered to be with Dominick.

That following Monday, Dominick was taken off life support. The world would morn the lost of another angel.

Brandon Hayes was charged with torture, child abuse, homicide, murder, assault with the intent to create great bodily harm less than murder, delivery of marijuana to a minor, possession with the intent to deliver and possession of hydrocodone.

Corrine Baker was also charged with her son's death. She was charged with second degree murder even though she claims that she could not have done anything to stop the beatings. WTF ever.


Something new: Records show that on April 9th, day two of her sons torture, Corrine left the apartment with her parents for a doctors appointment.  Her parents have reported that they picked Corrine up from the apartments as the beatings were happening and not once did she hint to the fact that her child was in danger. Her parents also report that they spoke with Corrine the day after that. She claims that there was nothing she could have done to stop Brandon. I am calling BS. She was suppose to be his mother, his protector and she failed. She failed simply because she had a warrant out on her and she was afraid that is Child Protective Services got involved she would go back to jail in a probation violation. She is self centered and selfish. Her son endured four days of pure hell at the hands of her boyfriend, simply because he wet his pants. And now because she didnt want to get Dominick the help that could have saved his precious life, she is back in the one spot she never wanted to be. My personal opinion, I hope she is suffering mentally knowing that she could have saved her baby boy. God will get them both. Dominick can rest in peace knowing that he will get the justice that he so rightly deserves.

Rest In Peace sweet boy. You are in the best hands to be in. You are with God and no one will hurt you ever again.
