“A young Bronx mom was arrested Tuesday night for slugging her baby boy in the head – a blow that killed him, police said.
Na-aisha Riley, 21, allegedly punched her 7-month-old infant, Cashmere Obama Randall, with such force that it caused the baby to hemorrhage in the brain, officials said. He died Monday afternoon after cops found him at her boyfriend’s Bronx home, unresponsive and unconscious.
“She just lost it,” said a police source.
The medical examiner ruled Tuesday that Cashmere died of whiplash and shaking and blunt trauma to the head, a spokeswoman said.
Riley confessed yesterday to punching her 18 1/2-pound, 27-inch long baby, police sources said. She was charged with second-degree murder and assault.
Riley’s mother, Toinette Knight-Riley, said she doesn’t believe her daughter could have killed the boy, known as Obama because he was born on the day President Obama was elected.
“My grandson was beautiful. He was sent from heaven.
My daughter is kind and compassionate,” she said. “She’d never, ever do such a thing.”
But Riley’s boyfriend, Unique Jones, 18, said “she tried to make like it was me. Police told me at first she was blaming me. Then she confessed. It was like she wanted to kill me, too.”
Jones, a student at Lewis and Clark High School, said he reprimanded Riley over the Memorial Day weekend when “I saw her pop him in the head to keep him from crying.”
I read this story earlier today & got pissed the fuck off! The I made one of my list of total wrongdom to break the story down to the metaphysical.
Wrongdom/Issues:
1) The baby’s grandmother is in serious denial.
2) A good mother would never punch a baby.
3) Why is I mean why was she dating this young boy.
4) Why was her jump off’s people watching her baby, what about the grandmother or the aunt, or hell, the baby’s real daddy?
5) Is the baby daddy missing?
6) Why name your child after a great man then kill him?
7) Cashmere? I won’t comment further out of respect for of the recently departed but that is a fucked name.
8) Na-aisha probably should have just got an abortion if she was just gonna beat poor Cashmere Obama to fucking death
9) A bitch with a name like Na-aisha should never be trusted to do shit. No offense if you named your child something fucked up & totally made up.
10) I’m against violence but I hope that Na-aisha gets shanked by Bey Bey & nem’.
I hope that I do not appear to be to ignorant, radical or misogynistic in my breakdown. I’m just saying!

If the poor mother didnt want another child (I thought I read she already had one) or if she didnt think she could handle another one, she could have had an abortion. Or given it up for adoption. No child needs to be subjected to a life like that.

Lola – Yes, going back to brunch on Sunday, she should have gotten an abortion. But on a serious note, women like her need to be permanently sterilized. Im just saying!
Bam – "First of all, everyone in the article name is fucked up." OK!!! That is what I thought, the 1st time I read this bullshit!
And Unique for anyone is just wrong!
I really know how to pull your ass out of lurkdom. LOL!!!

1) The grandmother isn’t in denial, she knows better than anyone else that her daughter isn’t shit and never should have had kids, but you can’t really come out and say that to the “man”
2) A good mother/father would never punch a baby or any child period!
3) Cougar-dom starts early!
4) Maybe the jump-off’s people were the best option to watch the poor child. Just because somebody is blood doesn’t make them the best babysitting option.
5) Sometimes the baby daddy needs to be missing!
6) You knew it was just a matter of time that somewhere in this land black folks were going to drag poor Obama in to their mess.
7) Why oh why… come on people! let's think long term about the future need to get a job when picking out these fucked up names!
8) Pro-Choice till I die!
9) Oh lord ..see #7
10) I second that
