Ernest Lamar Love, 41, from Placentia, faces charges of murder, torture, and child abuse resulting in death, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney\u2019s Office. The victim, Chance Crawford, died on Tuesday due to injuries sustained on August 29 after his mother left him at Love&#8217;s barbershop around 6:30 p.m. while she went to work at St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital. Seven hours later, Chance was brought to the hospital &#8220;unconscious and struggling to breathe.&#8221; Surveillance footage reportedly shows Love entering his barbershop with a large piece of lumber while Chance followed behind him hesitantly.<\/p>\n<p>The release stated that Chance had wet his pants at a park where Love took him, which led to severe punishment. Allegations against Love include beating the first grader with the lumber and pouring hydrogen peroxide on his wounds before forcing him to perform exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. Medical staff found that much of Chance&#8217;s flesh was missing from his buttocks along with other serious injuries consistent with violent shaking; he also had healing fractures on his shoulder blade.<\/p>\n<p>Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer expressed deep sorrow over the incident: \u201cWhile other children celebrated their first week in school, Chance fought for his life in a hospital bed.\u201d He emphasized the horror that this young boy endured at the hands of someone meant to protect him.<\/p>\n<p>In an emotional response following these events, Crawford&#8217;s grieving mother spoke out about her son&#8217;s brutal death: \u201cHe did not deserve such an end.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Love has pleaded not guilty and is currently being held without bail as reported by WLS-TV. The child remained in a coma until he passed away on Tuesday. Family members expressed their anguish over what happened; Crawford\u2019s cousin described it as slowly killing them inside because no child should be treated this way.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford&#8217;s father voiced frustration over why this tragedy occurred: \u201cHe didn\u2019t get to live out his life&#8230; I wanted my son to graduate.\u201d He referred to Love as &#8220;a monster&#8221; deserving of justice for what he did.<\/p>\n<p>If convicted on all counts, Love could face between 32 years and life imprisonment plus an additional five years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2338305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture-2024-09-07T134631.975.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40382,39057,7204],"class_list":["post-2338304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-babysitting","tag-child-abuse","tag-crime"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Picture-2024-09-07T134631.975.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
