You Don’t Waste Melvin Ortiz’s Food!

Poinciana, FL- On July 24, Frances Rodriguez made a frantic call to 911 and told the operator that her boyfriend’s 5-year old son Kenyon, who suffered from asthma, had stopped breathing. “We were in the pool, and he was fine. He fell yesterday in the park,” Rodriguez told the dispatch operator in Spanish. “Oh my God! His eyes are pointing upward, and I don’t know what to do.” Rodriguez said the boy had gotten a bump on his head at the playground and had some sort of injury to his mouth from the fall. When rescue crews arrived at the home, they found Kenyon unresponsive and immediately performed CPR on him then rushed him to Osceola Regional Medical Center where he died less than an hour later.

Melvin Ortiz and Frances Rodriguez

On Sunday, a medical examiner determined the boy suffered internal and external injuries and listed blunt-force trauma to his belly and chest as the cause of death. That was when investigators decided to question Rodriguez and the 28-year old father of the child, Melvin Ortiz, a little further and find out exactly what happened the day Kenyon died. At first, Rodriguez tried to stick with the excuse that Kenyon was injured when he fell at the playground, but later changed her story and said Ortiz had gotten angry with Kenyon for not eating his breakfast and had struck him. Ortiz denied ever striking his son, but then admitted he had become angry with Kenyon for wasting food and struck him three times. Ortiz said he didn’t think the boy was seriously injured because “he was not bleeding.” Well, maybe not on the outside, asshole! When detectives interviewed Rodriguez once more, she told the detectives she had gotten mad at Kenyon and she hit him with a belt. The boy then retaliated and hit Rodriguez, which Ortiz witnessed and seriously hurt the boy for being rebellious.


Ortiz was arrested and charged with the murder of his son. Rodriguez was also arrested and was charged with child neglect and battery. Both are being held without bond. The Department of Children and Families are now investigating Kenyon’s death and even though no prior incidents of abuse have been reported involving Rodriguez or Ortiz, DCF investigators are concerned about Rodriguez’s two children, ages 2 and 7, living in the home. Kenyon lived in Puerto Rico with his mother and was visiting his father for about a month. Rodriguez’s children showed no signs of abuse and are currently in their grandparents’ custody.

    I’m not hungry Melvin, what you gonna do about it!

    He even looks angry in his booking photo. I get the feeling it’s not because the little guy is gone, I bet it’s about his plans for next week, or what ever, will have to be canceled.

    Kids don’t always eat when you want them to. It happens, get over it. It’s such a shame he had to die over that.

    I was reading this story and my 3 year old climbs in my lap, points to the dude and says “He’s got crazy eyes”. Out of the mouth of babes. BTW, I’m so sick of these POSs’ beating their kids for being “disrespectful” or “rebellious”. Children don’t really have the concepts like that…

    Poor Baby! Kenyon was just visiting his father, from Puerto Rico, a summertime visitation, that should’ve been all giggles and fun times! Now he will go home to Mommy in a coffin! Damn!
    Rodriguez had no business hitting him with a belt, If you don’t want to be hit back, don’t be hitting! No business disciplining Kenyon at all..Ortiz, well, what can I say, beat your own child to death because he didn’t want to eat your food, ever heard of tupperware? Children eat when they’re hungry, it doesn’t have to be wasted! I hope someone at the jailhouse busts you on the head with a nightstick every time you don’t want to eat their crap, it might knock some sense into ya! I doubt it though, so I’ll be praying you get the death penalty! And your girlfriend finds her a Big Bertha to hang with for a lifetime……
    Volando con los Ángeles a los brazos de, ElNino, Poco Kenyon!

    I feeeeel so sad for that mothers family wow…. ortiz and rodriquez both need stoned to death. I hope rodriquez’s kid grow up to be productive human beings what a tragic event. She should not have a right to lay eyes on her kids again.

    this just makes me sick, now I will not rest for two weeks, while my daughters baby just left for a visit with her other grandparents/aunt uncles by jet. the slightest little thing happens to my grandbaby someone will fricken die!!! I would give my life for justice.

    ever heard of tupperware? Children eat when they’re hungry, it doesn’t have to be wasted! I hope someone at the jailhouse busts you on the head with a nightstick every time you don’t want to eat

    Amen to that statement

    I currently live in Poinciana believe it or not, and this type of behavior is no surprise for most of the citizens here. Miss Rodriguez should really be held accountable for the boy’s death too. Right now it says she is charged with child neglect and battery, but I feel like she should be charged with something along the lines of accessory to murder as well. This really is a tragic case, and she certainly bears some responsibility in this boy’s death. I feel terrible for the boy’s true mother. I mean he is visiting this d-bag for ONE MONTH and ends up being murdered. Ridiculous..
