As the infant boy cried and screamed the morning of Sept. 21, according to police, his father took him to the balcony of the family’s apartment and began punching him in the torso to quiet him. When that did not work, the father brought the infant back inside, snatched the still-crying boy by the arms off the floor and continued punching him, police said in arrest records. Blood began to flow from the baby’s nose and mouth, police said, and the child fell silent. Court charging documents released Thursday reveal details in the death of 3-month-old Antoine Flemons, who Prince George’s County police said was fatally assaulted by his father before being buried in the woods by his parents. The records also indicate that when the baby did not rouse after the assault, his parents left him in their 1998 Lincoln Town Car for 24 hours before driving his body to the back of a high school and burying him in a shallow grave. The remains stayed covered for several weeks before police unearthed the body the morning of Oct. 19 and charged Antoine Petty, 32, and Geneice Petty, 24, in connection with the infant’s death. Family members reported the baby missing Monday, but the child had been dead for nearly a month before detectives tracked down the couple and were led to his burial site behind Parkdale High School in the Riverdale area, according to police. After the baby’s death, the couple would tell relatives that the child was with others or offer other explanations for his whereabouts, said Lt. Dave Coleman, a spokesman for Prince George’s police. Antoine Petty has been charged with first- and second-degree murder and related crimes. Geneice Petty is charged with being an accessory after the fact. Antoine Petty was being held without the possibility of bail, and Geneice Petty was being held on a $120,000 bond, according to the Prince George’s state’s attorney’s office. A bail review hearing is scheduled for the couple Friday. Online court records do not indicate whether the Pettys have attorneys. A woman inside the couple’s Greenbelt apartment declined to comment to a reporter who knocked on the door Thursday morning. A man who answered the phone at an address listed for relatives of Geneice Petty’s asked for privacy so that the family could seek “closure and peace.” “It’s heartbreaking, and it’s horrifying,” Coleman said of the allegations. “Everyone who sees this is so sad for the child and everyone involved.” A review of online court records indicates that Antoine Petty has previously been charged with crimes including theft and assault and has a record going back to at least 2002. In 2014, Prince George’s police featured him as a suspect in the department’s regular “Wanted Wednesday” blog, which made national news when the posting included a mug shot that showed his extensive facial tattoos. Detectives in the 2014 alert were searching for Petty on what they said was suspicion of having stolen a gun from an acquaintance in Largo. Poster Comment: Can this 'thing' really be classified as human? Look at him and look at his history! The problem is there are so many of this type walking our streets. White, black mixed races. Just too damn many and there are warning signs, but sleaze-ball lawyers get them off after committing crimes and out on the streets they go to commit something like what this animal did. Elect Hillary and murdering children will be classified as legal abortions. Hillary's all about children. Let's see now if this makes any damned sense at all! The baby's name is Flemons and the killers' name is Petty? Justice should be swift, but it never is, death by hanging in a public square. These people are a sub-human species of Mau Mau.

Jesus Christ, I used to live there 25 years ago. Since that time the area has been taken over by an influx of Mau Maus.
Both should be publicly burned at the stake!!! They need to suffer horrendously !!! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
