Riley Tillman, who was 20 months old, died Tuesday afternoon. His mother. 27-year-old Tanya Tidwell, her boyfriend, 22-year-old Zachary Romero and a friend, 17-year-old Richard Garcia have been charged with injury to a child.

An autopsy shows the toddler suffered trauma to his stomach area and died from the abuse. The three told investigators they found the baby boy dead Tuesday afternoon.

Hey look when I first wrote my comment I went by what I was told when I went up to the police station. I've have know Richard for awhile now and he don't seem like that type and of course my cousin zac doesn't either but all I can do is pray that the truth comes out for the baby. No kid should be abused or hurt so bad I don't believe in that. But the baby was sick for like a week so I thought maybe it was the swine flu or he just stopped breathing. I was wrong and the truth will come out.

I don't understand this kind of thing happening! there are so many mothers wanting children and for one reason or another can't have them. So if you don't want your children and feel it is to much responsibility to raise them, give them up to someone who can give them a good life and a chance at happiness.

Theresa said it best in her comment. In response to Chaney, the plight of our children are ignored because people would rather not get involved especially when it involves family. This has to change (even at the risk of being alienated by family) or the cycle continues and children get hurt or worse. I'm sure someone out there close to the family knew the potential for this, but they chose to look the other way. The probability that they have authored at least one comment here is high. Sad.

The truth has not come out as of yet. All of you people calling them animals and wishing them to go to hell , need to quit passing judgement. Something did happen, but we are not sure. I am sorry for the death of the child, but it doesnt mean that my son was involved. my sympathy goes out to the family of this child. The truth will come out at the end. I feel that we should all just pray for their souls, and let God deal with all of them involved.

As far as I can tell there is little to no detail in this story. Did I miss something? Cause of death was trauma to stomach, I got that much, the article called it 'abuse' but there is very little other detail. Am I missing something here? People that find themselves beating their children to make them stop crying or arguing or whatever the case may be should take a step back, take a breath and consider dropping the kids off with a relative if they can't handle it without being abusive.

Give your baby to someone who will love them..stop killing them, if you didn't want them you should have had an abortion. Better yet you shouldn't have had sex!!! Best one yet kill yourself and spare the child.

Please you single mothers. I hear or read about this EVERYDAY! You can live without a man. You shouldnt feel you can live without your children. There are laws allowing you to abandon them at fire stations or hospitals. Do it if you cannot stop doing drugs drinking or living with abusive men. Save your children. A real mother would lay down her life for her child, not give the childs life for her own pleasures.

I want all of you single moms out there to take note of these really bad abuse cases. The perpetrator is almost always some losor that is not the child's father. Get a clue stupid girls, these jerks that you bring home are not going to be nice to your children. Hence all the molestation cases out there too.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
