A West Virginia man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the death of his 3-year-old son who prosecutors said was “the most abused child we’ve ever seen.”
In 2012, 22-year-old James N. Mauldin abused his 3-year-old son, Kaiwon Connelley, so bad that the boy passed away on New Year’s Day.
In March of this year, Mauldin was convicted of a plethora of charges, including death of a child by parent by child abuse, child abuse causing serious bodily injury, malicious assault, presentation of false information regarding a child’s injuries, and two counts of gross child neglect creating risk of serious bodily injury.
Last week, Mauldin was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
This was a 3-year-old child that had no one to turn to,” Berkley County Prosecutor Pamela Games-Neely said in court. “He suffered a horrific death.”
Mauldin is accused of causing a fractured skull, brain bleeds, and severe burns.
“He was the most abused child we’ve ever seen in the system,” said Games-Nelly, who has worked as the county prosecutor since 1993. “This is the most malicious thing I’ve seen in a long time.”
