LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a Compton man has been arrested on suspicion of the fatal beating of his live-in girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Guillermina Saldana says 29-year-old Omar Zarate Gutierrez was taken into custody Wednesday after detectives learned that the child died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen.

The girl was found dead in the couple’s Compton apartment on Friday.

The Los Angeles Times reports her body had traces of bite marks and bruises and her scalp had raw sores and missing hair.

Zarate Gutierrez is being held without bail.

    I will never understand how adults can beat helpless children. This man is a coward.

  • Lori

    He needs to die. I am so tired of hearing these stories and then the killers sitting in jail at the taxpayers’ expense. What did this poor baby do? Nothing. How on Earth is someone so horrible that they could beat a baby to death!! I cry to read this story.

    they need to set this man on fire

  • mister s

    I understand how they can do it, but that doesn’t make it any less of tragedy. Some “men” still have little boy mentalities complete with tantrums and fits of rage. He probobly saw the child not as the helpless toddler it was, but as a little someone who was making his life harder and/or taking attention from him. Put him in with some inmates that have little girls themselves, send the gaurds to lunch, and be done with him.

    What a coward….Please remove partial body parts from this man….such as his hands…and feet…that way he cant hurt anymore children. And personally, The mother had to know something was wrong and going on with her boyfriend and his abusive behavior, trust me this was not the first incident, and if he wasnt stopped it would not be his last.

  • Joel

    Fry Him!!
    Fry all the child abusers, molesters, and pedohiles, instead of making excuses for them. The children don’t get second chances, so why should their executioners?
    Sick

  • Really

    What a monster. May the baby now sing with the angels, and he can burn in hell.

  • pierson

    What is wrong with this parents today I swear you have to really be aware of the people you are around today and if I was the mother I would know if this man was violent before any of this occured and he would be the one in the morgue not my child this people are really sick and need to find the lord fast……….

  • katnip

    WTH??? what could this girl possibly have done to deserve this kind of treatment? please, PLEASE put this man in a cell block filled with men who went too far in protecting their own children from people like him, and tell them what he did!!!

  • Moe

    Where in hell was the mother? The man obviously is a monster filled with rage and should never be allowed in public again. The mother is equally to blame and should also get life in prison for child endangerment leading to the death of the child. Poor little girl. I’m a 49 year old bachelor and dream of having a child and hope to one day be able to adopt. This little girl could have had a wonderful life with a loving family but she’s gone now. Why does God bless people who are unfit wth children and ignores someone who would protect and nurture and give a child a wonderful life? It breaks my heart.

    What and the Hell is wrong with people these days,, and yes where and the hell was the mother,, she had to of seen something was wrong with this guy (monster, sick ass) Does she put a guy before the safety of her daughter???, she is to blame also,,, Yes put this sick ass in a cell with some prisoners that are in there cause they were protecting their Child, Family member and send the guards to a extended lunch.. This baby did nothing wrong to deserve this, she should of been removed from this home LONG ago,, cause I’m sure this is not the first time she was hurt..
    He needs to be tortured just as he did to this baby,, and may be burn in HELL!!!!!

  • angels

  • Rebecca Walker Hutchinson

    I can not fathom what was going through this evil mans mind :( I really hope he gets what is coming to him in prison!

  • Trisha

    Because there is no “God”!

  • EVELYN DEVERAUX

    There needs to be an immedient death penalty for child killers. There’s no sickness in the mind strong enough to wipe out the fact that they are attacking a child. these killers have had the law on their side too long.

    Do you know 5 children die each day from child abuse in US. But how many more children are being abused but haven’t died yet? Do we need to wait? NO! We need to be proactive to make a change. Please raise awareness, pay attention, write your legislators – we cannot afford to do nothing – our children is our future! Please join our group.
    According to the Administration for Children and Families, 12,180 children died from abuse and neglect between 2001 and 2008. The actual number is likely to be much higher, as many child maltreatment deaths are not recorded as such, and several studies have indicated significant under-counting of child abuse and neglect related fatalities. Furthermore, child welfare experts are predicting that child abuse will likely increase as the effects of the economic downturn continue.
