Parents tried to beat ‘demon’ out of 3-year-old son

HOUSTON — A Houston man who allegedly thought demons had invaded his home was jailed Monday, charged with critically injuring his 3-year-old son.

Neighbors said the whole ordeal started with a statue.

Jacky Tran, 35, reportedly brought the statue into his southwest Harris County home, but then decided it had a demon in it.

“He said he got a statue and there was a demon inside or something, and then he took it to the Buddha, and the Buddha buried it in the cemetery,” neighbor Abdul Padat said.

That happened last Wednesday. Neighbors said by Friday, Tran had become a vegetarian and started throwing all of his belongings out of his second-story window, littering his yard with furniture and paintings.

But investigators believe that strange behavior took a decidedly darker turn on Saturday, when they say Tran beat his young son bloody.
[...]

When they looked through a second-story window, investigators said they saw Tran swinging something – possibly the child — around a room.

They said they heard a child screaming, so they forced their way into the home.

Investigators said when they found the boy, he had suffered severe head injuries and was unable to speak.

Tran reportedly told investigators he was trying to beat a demon out of his son.

Tran is facing felony child endangerment charges.

If convicted, he could face from 5 to 99 years in prison.

Tran’s wife, Phung, who was home when the alleged beating occurred, was charged with critically injuring her 3-year-old son Monday evening.

Another victory for Texas.

Okay okay, we all know dead baby jokes are sick, but then again laughter is the best medicine, isn't it?

Fuck ya Texas!! This just goes to show you that we Texans dont play!

Also I wouldnt be surprised that this dude had some kind of psych history, prob schizophrenia, not sure what type. Though it would explain his delusional behavior.

What's with the asians flipping out? Last year we had that college student shoot out, last month (or was it last week?) we had that dude kill 13 people in the immigration department somewhere, and now this?

Also, there was a story about this asian chick cuffing her boyfriend and then biting his tongue or some shit because she was batshit insane. Cool! Link to story : http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/72154...bites-him.html
