Slain boy's short life a litany of abuse

Mother's boyfriend charged with murder; medical examiner finds evidence of more than 50 injuries

BY SHANNON PRATHER
Pioneer Press

The beating that killed 17-month-old Dakota Ryan Forss on Tuesday wasn't the little boy's first.

The St. Paul child had suffered more than 50 injuries in his short lifetime, including blows and punches to the head that caused a skull fracture, cigarette burns, blackened eyes, internal bleeding and injuries to his groin.

Large patches of hair had been pulled from the boy's head and Dakota had suffered a blow to the back so violent it bruised his lungs, the medical examiner determined.

On Friday, Joseph Rex Bell, 34, was charged with second-degree murder after admitting to police that he repeatedly abused his girlfriend's son, according to the criminal complaint filed by Ramsey County prosecutors. Bell told police he knew he would eventually kill the boy if he kept abusing him, but "just couldn't stop."

"This behavior is sadistic. A child this age is so vulnerable and the brutality that must have taken place in order to inflict these blows is beyond comprehension," said Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner. "You almost have to believe that a day wouldn't go by where this child wasn't being struck or hurt."

Police said they are considering investigating Dakota's mother, Kalani Jean Forss, who told police she had witnessed Bell give her son a "brainbuster" — punching her young son in the head — and yet allowed him to be the boy's primary caregiver. Forss, 32, relied so heavily on Bell to care for Dakota, she told police, she had not fed or changed the boy's diaper in the week preceding his death. Bell is being held in lieu of $1 million bond.

Death is too easy for a guy like that.

Permanent solitary confinement.

I just wish incarceration wasn't so expensive.  I don't have access to current statistics, but it seems to me I read a few years ago the average cost per inmate was something like $40,000. People like this should be permanently removed from society, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I would prefer to have this man beaten to death.   Maybe when boxers retire, they could do this for a living or something.   Doesn't have to be a public spectacle (though I'm sure it's ratings would exceed reality TV), but the public would need open information about the proceedings and results, to guard against corruption in the system.

Sentence him to life, place him in the general population with a special "I'm a child abuser / killer" uniform. Wait patiently, problem will be solved.

Will still cost the taxpayers money for the hopefully short period of time he's around, but IMO it's money well spent.

And by hopefully I mean 17 months.

Can't.  It'd piss off the Eurotrolls.

My youngest is 19 months now, I cant imagine anyone beating her to death like that. Or, abusing her repeatedly to cause those kinds of injuries.

The mother is just at fault in this case. She knew the abuse was happening. Help was just a phone call away, yet she did nothing.

Give him a two hour trial, sentence him to death then drag his bellybutton out back and shoot him.
