In a horrific case out of Pennsylvania, police say a man and his girlfriend have been charged with murdering their three-year-old son — torturing and killing him because he didn’t want to eat his breakfast.

Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan announced that Gary Fellenbaum and Jillian Tait were arrested yesterday. The arrests came after emergency personnel responded to a call at their mobile home about an unresponsive child. There, they found 3-year-old Scott McMillan suffering from bruises, lacerations and puncture wounds all over his body.

According to police, Fellenbaum, Tait, and Fellenbaum’s wife, Amber confessed to authorities that they beat Scott, hit him with sharp objects, tied him up to a chair with electrical tape and eventually hug the little boy up by his feet and beat him to death. Tait explained that the fatal beating began when the boy wouldn’t eat his breakfast, according to reports.
