A father killed his 1-year-old son for disobeying him.

Nathaniel Lee Edwards, a 24-year-old father, has been charged with second-degree murder in the tragic death of his one-year-old son. According to reports, Edwards allegedly became enraged when his son did not listen to him and proceeded to strangle the child for several minutes until he stopped breathing. The mother of the child, who had entrusted Edwards with caring for their son, found the child unresponsive on his bed after returning home from work.

The Front Royal Police Department responded to a call reporting a child in cardiac arrest at the family's home in Virginia. Upon arrival, they discovered that the Warren County Fire & Rescue team was already attempting to transport the child to a nearby hospital. Despite the best efforts of both medical teams, the child was pronounced dead at Warren Memorial Hospital.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Northern Virginia Daily, the mother had left Edwards in charge of their son while she was at work. However, when she returned home, she was unable to locate Edwards and found her child in a dire state. The police were able to locate Edwards through his phone's GPS and arrested him as he was walking along US 522 North.

During an interrogation with authorities, Edwards admitted to using both of his hands to strangle his son for several minutes because the child was not listening to him and he could not handle the disobedience any longer. He also stated that the child had started to foam at the mouth during the incident. Edwards has been charged with second-degree murder and is currently being held without bail at a regional jail.

Edwards made an appearance in court the day after his arrest, and his next hearing has been scheduled for December 19. The identity of the child has not been released, and the police department has stated that they will not be releasing any further information at this time due to the sensitive nature of the case. Front Royal, the location of this tragic event, is situated approximately 70 miles west of Washington, DC.

In a separate and equally disturbing case, a Texas death row inmate was executed for the death of his three-month-old son in 2008. The inmate was found guilty of stomping and strangling his son, just days after Edwards' alleged crime. The police department is urging anyone with information about this case to come forward and help bring justice for the innocent victim.
