Connecticut Father Charged With Child Abuse After Allegedly Forcing Child To Eat His Own Feces

A Connecticut father is accused of a sickening crime. Authorities have charged him with child abuse for allegedly forcing his son to eat his own feces.

A two-year investigation into Kevin Grant, 33, alleges that the father made his children hit each other with a spiked baseball bat.

Previously in the investigation, Grant was charged with second-degree assault and other charges after allegedly forcing his stepson to sleep in a closet for months and making him guzzle hot sauce until he vomited, the New York Post reported.

According to new court documents, Grant’s four children, ages 5 to 11, were forced to witness their siblings’ torture.

Grant is also accused of locking one of the children in a closet as a form of punishment, and when the child said he had to go to the bathroom, Grant reportedly gave him a box to defecate in.

The father then allegedly made the other children watch as he made the child eat his own feces while telling them, “this is what happens when you don’t behave,” the affidavit read.

Two of the boy’s siblings tried sneaking their brother some milk, but Grant caught them, and one was beaten with a belt “so badly that he thought he was going to die,” the charging document read.

Grant is also accused of putting firecrackers in one of the children’s pants and laughing when they went off.

Grant was arrested on August 10 and charged with reckless endangerment, risk of injury to a child, and intentional cruelty to persons. 

He has a $50,000 bond and is awaiting his trial for similar charges from the initial investigation, which began in October 2020.

Grant’s wife, Kaitlin Elizabeth Baptiste, 29, was also arrested in October 2020 on charges including the risk of injury to a child and second-degree reckless endangerment since “she was aware” that the father was abusing his child and did nothing to stop it.
