Police: Child's throat slashed by father

12-year-old pronounced dead at the scene

(Belmont - WABC, November 22, 2006) - Police say a Bronx father has admitted to killing his 12 year-old autistic child by slashing the boy's throat. The brutal crime happened on 24-05 Southern Boulevard in the Belmont section of the Bronx.

Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis has the latest.

Through out the afternoon, the detectives had been interviewing the boy's father as they trying to find out what happened.

The police commissioner says Jose Stable has already made statements indicating that he did kill his son.

By midmorning, crime scene investigators had wrapped up their task.

A 12-year-old boy found dead in the bathtub of sixteen floor apartment. Ulysses Stable's throat had been slit.

Around 6:30 a.m. police responded to the building on Southern Boulevard after the boy's father used a fire call box to tell a dispatcher his son was dead.

Police recovered the murder weapon in the kitchen sink.

"Jose Stable made statements to the fact that I have terminated the life of autistic child." Ray Kelly, NYC police commissioner, said.

The boy suffered from autism, and attended a special education facility in Hawthorne in Westchester County. He lived alone with his father Jose Stable who had been granted custody.

The boy's mother has several prostitution and narcotics arrests. Neighbors say there was no outward sign of trouble between father and child.

"He acted normal, the father was like normal with everybody," neighbor, Julie Cassetta, said. "He didn't make it look like anything was wrong."

"I never had seen him abuse the kid& real protective toward the kid. I just don't know," neighbor, Russell Lewis, said. "I don't understand what happened."

The administration for children's services, ACS, says it actually went to court last year trying to gain custody of the boy because he was not going to school. A judge, however, recommended court-ordered supervision.

ACS said it had been in contact with family and now conducting its own investigation.

Child dies of injuries; stepfather facing charges

A 17-month-old Lawrence Township boy has died of head injuries suffered after he was allegedly shaken by his stepfather, authorities said today.

DeJon Nelson died Friday morning at Methodist Hospital.

His stepfather, Jermaine Reaves, had been arrested by investigators on Thursday and preliminarily charged with aggravated battery and neglect. Marion County Sheriff’s Capt. Brian Mahone said Reaves was now likely to face additional charges in light of the boy’s death.

DeJon’s mother, whose name was not available, was out of state when medics were called to help a choking infant at the family’s residence in the 9000 block of East 42nd Street about 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

Authorities determined the child’s injuries were consistent with “shaken baby syndrome,” Mahone said.
