By JANET McCONNAUGHEY, Associated Press Writer Janet Mcconnaughey, Associated Press Writer Sun Jan 4, 7:15 am ET

NEW ORLEANS – A man who initially told police gunmen kidnapped his 2 1/2-year-old son was arrested Saturday, accused of committing an "extremely hideous" murder because he was ordered to pay child support, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said.

Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child's body and will be booked on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Ja' Shawn Powell, Riley said at a news conference.

"He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support,"

"He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support," which he recently had been ordered to do, Riley said.

This man might be a lot of things, but a liar, he is not.

My dad just didn't pay his child support. I'm 19 and she's still trying to collect from unpaid child support in the past.

I grew up fine - *twitches* gotta go kill my nieghbors now.

JK, I wouldn't kill them.

This man might be a lot of things, but a liar, he is not.

It would appear that he made the "He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support" comment after he committed the murder.

Bad Bad guy just the same.



Also interesting :

• "Although he had visiting rights, Platt, 22, of New Orleans, had never visited the boy until he picked him up Friday, Riley said."

• "I mean there are some sick individuals in this society, and this gentleman is clearly one."



Good for you 24788 ! You have a good head on your shoulders ! I mean it ~ !

He still should be forced to pay child support as part of his punishment.

I agree that I find something a little misguided when we virtually force young men into being fathers when they don't want to(mistakes happen).

The guy was 22(?) I believe & hadn't seen the child in two years. Unless he was unaware of this baby it is obvious the guy wanted nothing to do with the mother nor the child. Probably felt 'trapped' /pressured & $400/month is a lot of money to a 22 year old.

Should have relinquished his parental rights & done the best he could do.He will never set foot out of Angola prison. That's worse than a death sentence in my opinion.

OK, so the guy made a mistake, he's still responsible for child support. I'm sick and tired of these deadbeats leeching off of the public trough through their proxy game of forcing taxpayers to cover that of which they are responsible for.

People who claim that they "made a mistake" simply don't want to accept the things that they know they're responsible for.

Take risks -> accept full responsibility.

Yeah, ripped apart by a horde of abused kids. That would be nice. He gets what he deserves and for the kids it could be a kind of therapy. Man, if I hear about assholes like this father.

 

[BlueBalls]

Thats a thinking man right there :hatsoff:

 

[Wickedclown]

...but only sometimes. :1orglaugh
Imagine what this guy must have done in a supermarket while he discovers that his favourite beer got more expensive.
...I´m almost on a killing spree then.

what an ass.

On the positive side, this ass wipe is going to have such a fun time in the slammer. Child molesters and killers always get the best treatment from the inmate population.

But if he asks for solitary, it may be tough to get at him.

I have to agree with Facetious - creating a child is and should be the ultimate responsibility. Mistake or no, if you create a child, the next two decades of your life should be squarely dedicated to making sure it grows up to be a decent human being. Whether you wanted it or not. For the child's sake and everybody else's.
