Brooksville, FL – David McBurnett looks lonely. Look at that smug mug, sitting there all by itself. You know what that mugshot needs? A partner. Yes, David’s girlfriend, Breanna Underwood, should have her worthless turd mug sitting right next to his – for she is just as guilty as David in the death of her 1-year-old son, Hunter Morris. Beginning in the month of MarchMarch reviewsMarch reviews, and all the way up until last Thursday, she did absofuckinlutely nothing to protect her toddler from her current swinging dick, David McBurnett. After having suffered months of abuse, Hunter Morris was hospitalized on FridayFriday reviewsFriday reviews with numerous injuries – including fractured ribs, internal bleeding, and multiple contusions – and was declared brain dead. The little dude gave up the fight for good on SaturdaySaturday reviewsSaturday reviews.

David McBurnett

This entire story is so full of fucking fail, it makes me sick to my stomach. David, 19 and unemployed, was mooching residing with Breanna at her mother’s home. Hunter stressed poor David out with his crying. If the asshole was so bothered by the sound of a child crying, then maybe he shouldn’t be shacking up with a woman with a child – but, that’s just my opinion, right? Anyway, Breanna made a statement to police that she has witnessed David beating her child on numerous occasions. She saw the dick hit Hunter’s hands and feet with a remote control and a shoe numerous times. Breanna saw David use an open hand or his fists to hit Hunter in the head and body more than once. Breanna also witnessed David grab the child by his face and squeeze it. Yes, for several months, beginning when Hunter was just 6 months old, Breanna watched her boyfriend beat the child. Why then, do I not have Breanna’s mugshot to add to this story? And where the hell was the child’s grandmother when all this shit was going on?

David, big tough guy that he is, admitted to each instance of abuse. He told investigators he beat the child so “he would stop crying.” Well, you did it, David. You really shut that little kid up. And what a fucking accomplishment – not everyone can take out a toddler – those little fuckers are pretty tough. The asshole remains behind bars on a no bond status. When asked whether Breanna would be facing any charges, a police spokesperson stated that the investigation was ongoing. I honestly don’t see what there is to investigate. Lock the bitch up right alongside the asshole…

    According to another news source it may not be crystal clear that she really knew about all the previous abuse since she was allegedly away working in Alabama and had left the child with this POS and his mother. That news source says she did contact police about her suspicions of abuse and was told she needed more proof. This is her story. Even IF she didn’t know previously, why would she leave a little baby with a short term boyfriend while she went to work in another state?

    Anyone know how old Breanna is?

    Also, if we know Breanna wasn’t strong or wise enough to protect her child, why would we assume Grandma would be any better? The apple rarely falls far from the tree…

    Full of fail, indeed. I wish these idiots could manage to not breed to begin with.

    Another helpless child, dragged into hell by his own mother. The stupid bitch SUSPECTED abuse??? Like, duh, how else did she think the bruises got on the baby’s body? These two slugs are so typical – the idiot, brainless mother and her POS waste-of-space abusive boyfriend. She should have protected her child no matter what, but she probably didn’t want to lose “her man”. Between her and the equally stupid grandmother, SOMEBODY should have saved this child. Disgusting. They are all guilty and should be punished. Poor little baby.

    I can’t even read this one. I really can’t do it. I only got as far as reading that this baby’s “mother” had watched her sack of shit boyfriend hit his little hands and feet numerous times with a remote control and a shoe, and I thought I was going to throw up. My son is a year old, and is EXTREMELY…let’s say, “spirited.” Obviously it’s frustrating sometimes, but I can’t even imagine doing something like that to him, or watching while someone else did. I’d fucking KILL them. A one-year-old child’s job is to explore his environment while you try to set the safest boundaries you can. They are too little to even really understand consequences at this age, so beating the shit out of them isn’t going to do a lot to change their behavior, unless you cripple them. Or kill them, like in this case.

    This story breaks my heart. Poor baby Hunter. I’m sorry your mother failed you so abysmally. You deserved so much better than that.

    God, I fucking HATE people sometimes. :(

    It started at 6 months old? So, pretty much all this child ever knew was pain. He couldn’t even go to Mommy to protect him from this asshole. Both women in that house are just as much to blame for what happened to this little guy.
    RIP Baby Hunter

    Nothing was ever stable for that poor child. They were living with McBurnett’s mother (not hers as originally reported). At least 6 places in a year.

    After she became a teenage mother last September, Breanna Underwood never called a place home for longer than a few months.

    Underwood and her newborn son, Hunter Morris, bounced around over the past year, family members say. She lived with her grandparents in Starke for several months, then with her father in Hampton and later with her mother near Brooksville.

    Finally, she found a new boyfriend, David McBurnett Jr., and tried to start a new life in a small mobile home of their own near Brooksville. But they moved again, at least twice, before winding up at the home of McBurnett’s mother.

    “I guess she got down there and got around the wrong people,” her uncle, Landon Underwood, said Monday from Bradford County.
    [...]

    Family members said Underwood dropped out of Bradford High School in Starke a couple of years ago and later moved in with her boyfriend at the time, Charles Morris.

    Underwood got pregnant months later, and Morris was believed to be the father, relatives said, but the couple never had much of a relationship after Hunter was born.

    “He was never in the kid’s life,” Landon Underwood said. “He never tried to be a responsible dad.”

    Breanna Underwood moved in with her grandparents after Hunter’s birth, but later moved out to live with her mother near Brooksville. After that, family members in Bradford County had very little contact with Underwood, they said.

    “We didn’t know what was going on,” said her grandmother, Lillian Underwood. “We never met (McBurnett) or even knew who he was. I did not want her to leave the house.”

    Reached at her home Monday, McBurnett’s mother, Regina McBurnett, had little to say about her son. She did say she believes he is innocent of the charges against him.

    “I don’t believe that my son has done this,” she said. “I don’t believe that he has that in him.”

    She seems to have put her own whims above all else and her son paid the price. I hope it’s not long before she gets a more permanent living space at the gray-bar motel.

    Your ex called his own two-week old daughter a bitch? Jesus. Absolutely anyone can end up in that situation, if only all of them were as smart and protective as you, twiztids_angel. Yet more support for the notion that almost all excuses as to why a mother watched a man beat on her child and did nothing are complete bullshit. A real mother finds a way to protect her kids, even if it means turning her life upside down as you did. And good on you for not allowing him unsupervised contact after that!

    yes Veronica, he called her a bitch. The only sorry excuse for callin her that is because she wasnt born a BOY like my older child was (the older child is not his BTW)This was his 1st outburst at lil TIffany but he had started yellin about things not bein done his way etc.etc. Im just glad i had enough sense to “put down the penis and run far far away’ This couldlve escalated to the point of physical abuse but luckily i had the smarts at 19 yrs of age to see the signs of pending physical abuse and run for the hills!!!

    My babies arent lacking for a father either cuz in ‘98 i met a wonderfull guy thats actually 2 yrs younger than me and hes been the BEST dad to Jeremy and Tiffany and we have also have a daughter together which happened to be born on Tiff’s 4th bday!!….and guess what my gem of a new dad was doin while he was watchin the 2 oldest while i was in the hospital with our newborn…he was playin Barbies with our 4 yr old and outside climbing a tree with our 5 yr old….my mom went over to check on them seein as how this was the 1st time he’d ever been alone caring for them for days and what she witnessed brought tears to her eyes to see a grown man playin barbies just to make HIS 4 yr old happy and take her mind off mommy bein away!

    Wow, I’m even more impressed that you were only 19 at the time! And I’m glad to hear a story like this that actually has a happy ending. You are the prototype for how this should be handled, no second guessing, no “hindsight is 20/20 rationalizations,” no struggling to explain how you just let these dangerous red flags go, you took action at the first hint of potential abuse.

    thank you very much for the compliments. I’m relatively new to this site and i have to admit i’m drawn to all these sordid tales of child abuse by so called mothers and/or their penises (i chuckle at the references to a guy bein ‘the penis’!)….this always serves as a wake up call to me as the truly horrendouse things done to kids these days and i am SO GLAD i actually have maternal instincts!! I guess i’m the anomaly as far as teen parents go; i was 17 when i had my 1st and even though b4 i got preggers i was a TERRIBLE kid to my parents but they never beat or neglected me….i thank them too for makin me the mom I am today!

    I have been thinking about what happened to this poor child since he was brought into the ER that night/morning. It has hit me like a ton of bricks. It has broken my heart. I did not know Hunter Morris until that night. I read about how his birthday was just on 9-3. This means that scumbag was beating him since he was 6 mos. old. His mother stood by as this was going on. The boyfriend has been arrested for murder and she hasn’t? Why not?!?! I am furious she is still free. I cannot fathom hurting a little baby. His mother chose a man over her child. You do not choose dick over a child. I hope the inmates get him. I hope he doesn’t even make it to the court date and they get him. He should rot and she should too! They did not care about this baby. Their actions in the ER waiting room said a lot! If she didn’t want him she should have given him up for adoption to a family who wants a baby. The boyfriend couldn’t handle a child he should not have hooked up with a woman with a baby. She sounds like she jumps from guy to guy since this kid was only 6 mos when the abuse started. How long was it after this kid was born that they moved in together? Shows how much she is just interested in getting laid and not tending to her child. Rotten to the core! I was really hoping that Hunter was going to pull through. I had figured that since he was being sent to another hospital from the ER I wasn’t going to know the outcome, but, I found out from my boss that his story was in the paper and on TV. I checked St Pete Times.com on Sunday 9-13 AM to find out that Hunter died on Sat 9-12 at 4:30p. I still cry over this. I also wonder how many other Hunter Morris’ are out there. It scares me.

    The poor baby. I can only hope that he is in a better place now and now knows what love really is.

    When my older daughter was about 3 months old she had a really bad day. She started crying at about 8am. I fed her. I checked her diaper. I burped her and cuddled her. I rocked her. I bathed her. I put her in her swing (her favorite place to be). I tried to get her to sleep. I checked her temperature. I checked for anything that might be hurting her but nothing soothed her, she just needed to work her lungs. Thankfully I am the 2nd oldest of 8 kids in my family, babysat from age 12-17 and had plenty of baby experience. Still it was frustrating as anything. I prayed for her to stop. I begged for her to stop but in the end, she cried and wailed for most of 9 hours. Because of my experience I knew that sometimes babies need to cry. As a single parent, I had no one to relieve me for any amount of time. When the crying would become too much for me, I put my daughter in a safe place, (swing, crib, bassinet, playpen) and I would walk out to the back porch and shut the door. I could still hear her a little but it wasn’t right in my ear. I would spend 10-15 minutes outside and then go back in and rock my daughter, check her diaper, feed her, burp her or whatever else I felt might soothe her. I would spend 15-20 minutes with her and then back outside. For further relief I called some family and friends and for even more, I began sing to my daughter while I rocked her “Mommy’s putting you up for adoption. Mommy’s putting you up for adoption.” As ridiculous as it sounds, that really did make me feel better. I never did put her up for adoption, she’s 7 now and doing great. She finally stopped crying early in the evening that day. I never did find anything wrong with her but she had been a preemie who only weighed a little more than 4 and a half pounds when she was born. By 3 months I think that she was probably about 9lbs (about the size of many newborns)and I think that she really just needed to work out her lungs. It was tough but it did end and she slept better that night than she ever had before which was really a nice reward for a very long day.

    My best advice for anyone dealing with a screaming baby is to make sure that their needs have been taken care of (they’ve been fed, clean and burped if necessary still, they are dressed appropriately and check them over for any injuries that might be causing any pain), if all checks out and they continue to cry and you are beginning to get frustrated, don’t feel guilty about walking away for a few minutes. Find a safe place to put them (Carseat, stroller, playpen, crib, swing, or bassinet, make sure that they are strapped in as necessary) and leave the room for 10-15 minutes. Go outside on a porch or in the yard but remain close enough to the house so that if there is an emergency you can quickly retrieve your child. If that’s not an option, place the child in his/her room and shut the door and go to the furthest room away. Turn on the stereo, MP3 player or TV to drown out the noise and get your emotions in check. This should take no longer than 15 minutes. Crying is a natural way for a baby to express what he/she can’t say and it also is a way for them to exercise their lungs. It will not hurt them and it will stop eventually on it’s own if the baby’s needs are met. You are not a horrible person for allowing a baby to cry and self soothe if you have met all of his/her needs. You are a horrible person if you injure a baby in a fit of rage brought on by your inability to deal with his/her crying.

    When my daughter was a toddler and began throwing temper tantrums I would ignore her behavior as long as I could as long as I felt that she was safe. When I became frustrated by hearing her wails I would give us both a time out. I would put her in her room and I would go to my room where we would both have a chance to calm down. When she noticed that she wasn’t getting the attention that she wanted because of her crying, she would stop, usually about 5 minutes into our timeout. Then we would talk about why she was crying. If it was because I wouldn’t allow her to do something/have something then I would explain why and tell her that crying wasn’t the way to get what she wanted. Thankfully her tantrums didn’t last very long, she found that there were other more effective ways to communicate with me and that when she did it that way she was much more likely to get the outcome and attention that she desired. Again, tantrums are a natural way for a toddler to communicate. It’s frustrating for them to not be able to express their needs, wants, desires and fears in words because of their limited vocabulary. The best way to keep your toddler from having a tantrum is giving your toddler the words he/she needs to express themselves. When your toddler has a tantrum, you are not a monster for allowing him/her to cry it out as long as his/her needs have been met. You are a monster if you think beating them is the only way to get them to stop.

    You don’t need the patience of a saint to raise a child, you only need to know when and how to walk away when you have been pushed to your limits.

    Mythic1, i agree on everything u have said. I wish there was some kind of mechanism that clicks in ur body as soon as u have or are around kids that causes rage to cease and empathy and extreme patience come in to play as soon as a kid starts screamin, tantrums, etc. Alot of people have it….called MATERNAL/PATERNAL instincts, others do not. Too bad every1 cant be great parents but the poor babies always pay the price and its so not fair. I’m always hearing about this kid gettin beat or that kid gettin killed over some thing as mundane as crying. Wow, babies cry, toddlers cry, kids cry, teenagers can be assholes, as can adults. People need to realize when they lay down and make a baby that everything isnt gonna be all peaches n cream and theres gonna be bad days but the good days and good memories will always outweigh the bad days. I know the world will never change and this saddens me. I can only do my part and be a good mom so my kids know how to handle theyre own kids when and if they have babies themselves. Hopefully they will take what i have taught them and put it to good use. I pray for these babies everyday and hope they find comfort away from their tormentors. well i’m rambling again…off i go…cya

    An old Psyche Teacher of mine firmly informed us all that the “Maternal Instinct” is a myth. An instinct is defined as an innate behavior seen in every healthy member of any given species. The only human instinct is the urge to suckle shortly after birth. Somehow, this explanation has made it easier for me to be less astonished by women such as this. Doesnt mean that I accept their behavior in any way, or am any less outraged. I have just accepted the very sad fact that, though many, many people should not have children, they do, and will continue to do so.

I remember one time my kids were 4 and 5 and they were swimmin and the 4 yr old got too deep so she almost drowned her 5 yr old brother by tryin to save herself and was pushing him under and MY instincts (or adrenaline) kicked in and i dove in and pulled them both out and i bout drowned my damn self in the process….very scary

    Does Assistant State Attorney Pete Magrino have his head up his ass?

    A Hernando County grand jury didn’t waste time Thursday returning an indictment against McBurnett for first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of Hunter Morris.

    But Assistant State Attorney Pete Magrino said Breanna Underwood — the boy’s 19-year-old mother, who witnessed the abuse — will not face criminal charges.

    “Just because someone sees something or does something doesn’t mean it rises to the level of a criminal offense,” Magrino said.

    The 21-member grand jury listened to testimony and evidence against McBurnett for several hours before reaching its decision just after 2 p.m.
    [...]

    The murder charge is a capital felony. Magrino said he is still weighing whether to request the death penalty.

    Source

    He has basically said it’s OK to sit back and watch your babies get the crap knocked out of them… or killed.

    WHERE IS the level of “a criminal offense” in his eyes?

    Thanks Dakota…I was jsut getting ready to post that article cause I could not believe that they are not charging this woman with anything. What kind of message is that sending out to all the other mothers who let their men abuse on their children. Basically it’s telling them that it’s ok, just sit back and enjoy the show…WTF?!?!?!?

  31. MadeaBecBec
    2:29 pm on October 2nd, 2009

    Is it possible that Pete Magrino believes that he is unable to get a conviction for both? So he’s going for the one that will most certainly be found guilty? They can always charge Breanna after McBurnetts trial, right? Breanna is an accessory to murder,at the least, a charge with a longer statue of limitation. So the DA could just be waiting on more evidence, to charge her.

    From Wikipedia

    To be convicted of an accessory charge, the accused must generally be proved to have had actual knowledge that a crime was going to be, or had been, committed. Furthermore, there must be proof that the accessory knew that his or her action, or inaction, was helping the criminals commit the crime, or evade detection, or escape.

    he beat the child so” he would stop crying…Ooookkkk…or maybe your lying and you either enjoyed beating the child, was too lazy to actually take care of the childs needs as crying is how they communicate those needs, or both. Fucking sick ass ppl…he should be beat to death in honor and revenge for that poor little baby, God rest him.
