A Houston man faces upgraded charges after his arrest on accusations he beat his 2-year-old son to death.

Antonio Hicks Sr. was taken into custody after he and the child's mother told police he lost his temper while potty training the boy and hit him several times, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The toddler, Antonio Hicks Jr., died at a hospital on Saturday.

Hicks was initially charged with injury to a child. Those charges were expected to be upgraded.

The boy's tragic death has devastated his family, who don't know what to think.

Kali Brown, the boy's uncle, told ABC13's Deborah Wrigley he's not just a statistic and every child matters.

"We mattered to people when we were kids, so every kid should have at least a chance at life," he said.

Often during vigils, there is a call for justice.

The family certainly wants to know why the child they love is no longer with them, but more than that, they want people to know he is deeply missed.

Per court documents, the toddler’s mother claimed she was in another room when she overheard Hicks Sr. yelling at their son and smacking him. The mother said she heard the slaps turn into forceful strikes before she found her son unresponsive, according to the Houston Chronicle.

The toddler’s mother asked Hicks Sr. to call for an ambulance as she performed CPR. Instead, Hicks Sr. walked his son to the hospital — where staff noticed multiple injuries in various states of healing, the Houston Chronicle reported.

The toddler’s injuries weren’t consistent with Hicks Sr. claims of how his son was hurt, KHOU reported.

According to court documents, Hicks Sr. revealed he “snapped” and punched his son in the chest after finding the toddler smearing feces on the bathroom floor. He allegedly also admitted to hitting the child “too hard.”

Hicks Sr. remains jailed on a $250,000 bond. A Harris County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson told the Chronicle that he may face upgraded charges pending the results of Hicks Jr.’s autopsy.

Why wasn’t she in the room the SECOND she heard what could have been any kind of physical “discipline” (cause you know that’s what they called it in their hovel)?! I hate these stories. My kid has peed literally every bed in the house, almost every other piece of furniture and many of the floors while we’ve been potty training. You don’t use negative reinforcement, you call it an accident and move the fuck on. That’s what a real baller parent does. :cool:
 
Maybe he wasn't smearing. Maybe he didn't make it quick enough and some landed on the floor and he was trying to clean it up in his little toddler way. A frightened toddler.
I mean he's fucking two right? Why is he even shitting alone? That's the age you go in with them, help them up, get them balanced on the toilet, encourage them, tell them they did a good big poo well done kid! And wipe their bum for them.
If they are even training at that age?
I mean why does he care so much anyway? He's not the type that's going to clean it up.

that pic of this handsome young toddler is certainly not a pic of a child having fun with his toys...you can see the sadness in his face and eyes ...

Plus the fact that the parents think that is a perfectly fine pic to share on social media even though the kid looks unhappy. They either don't notice the kid is sad (bad) or they notice and just don't care (worse). It's as if they care more about the outfit he wears, or the fancy toys, instead of what should be most important... the kid himself.
