Tayaun Chism Demands Respect
March 16, 2009 by Jaded

Indianapolis, IN–Tayaun Chism, 18, beat the shit out of a 14-month-old baby because she failed to show him respect. Lillianna Goodmann died on FridayFriday reviews
, two days after she was beaten for more than an hour. Not only was she disrespectful to Chism, she wouldn’t eat her dinner. For that, she received the ultimate punishment, death.
Chism, angry at being shown such disrespect by a toddler, beat Lillianna with a belt. The beating lasted for more than an hour. The child’s mother, Rachel Goodman, tried to intervene and got her ass kicked too. There were two other adults and a juvenile in the home at the time…nobody called 911. Neighbors heard the beating, screaming, crying, and fighting…nobody called 911.
A friend drove Rachel and her daughter to the hospital. Rachel, 14-weeks pregnant, was treated and released. Little Lillianna, who suffered injuries consistent with multiple beatings, wasn’t so lucky; she remained in critical condition until she was removed from life support at 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Shortly after the beating on Wednesday afternoon, Chism arrived at the hospital and told officers that he was the only one they needed to talk to. After questioning Chism, authorities felt they had enough to arrest him. He was initially charged with neglect of a dependent, aggravated battery and domestic battery. Officials are now considering a murder charge. Chism’s bond has been set at $1 million.
Believe it or not, Chism has some defenders. His mother, for one, says that there is no way her son would beat a child. Kimberly Johnson says that someone else in the apartment beat Lillianna and is covering it up. ‘What type of human being watches a one year old get beat by one person? No one called 911, no one tried to restrain him,’ Johnson said. ‘No, I just don’t believe what happened over there.’ Johnson also had this to say, ‘That people are saying that he beat the baby with a belt – at first they said for two hours, then they said for an hour – there is no way possible. There is no way possible.’
Chism’s sister, Keyairra Johnson, is blaming the beating on ’someone else’ as well. ‘I go over there everyday. He has never beat her,’ she says. Please, you people make me want to throw up. He admitted to hitting the child with a belt as a disciplinary action because she disrespected him. Take your conspiracy theories and shove ‘em.
Rachel Goodman, 21, and Chism had only been together for about a month. She and her daughter were living with Chism and his two children. Chism’s children, ages 3-years-old and 15-months-old, were removed from the care of their grandmother and placed with DSS.
One one of the neighbors who didn’t call 911 had this to say, ‘Last night, I hear the guy fighting the woman. I hear the baby still crying.’ To those of you who didn’t want to get involved by picking up a damn telephone, I hope Lillianna’s cries haunt you for the rest of your days.
