Lattie McGee
The story and the death of Lattie McGee…is one of the most disturbing stories you will ever hear. An innocent 4-year-old boy inhumanely tortured, beaten, hung and killed.
If you cannot handle reading about a little boy whose flesh was ripped away from his body when authorities found him hung and broken, you may not want to continue – because it gets much worse.
It was a hot day on August 14th, 1987, when authorities and paramedics arrived at a South-Side Chicago apartment only to discover the most disturbing murder case they’ve ever seen. Little 4-year-old Lattie McGee was hanging dead in a closet – upside down.
How? Why? Ask Lattie’s 28-year-old mother Alicia Abraham and her 40-year old boyfriend, Johnny Campbell. They tortured Lattie McGee, beating him day after day, night after night, burning him and starving him. but that’s only the beginning.
What else did poor Lattie go through? The only four years of life he had were on the edge of death – filled with evil and sick forms of abuse. I often wonder…did he ever get the chance to smile? Or was his life so filled with pain and torment that he never got the chance…
It’s hard to write about what was done to Lattie McGee. His mother Alicia Abraham and her boyfriend Johnny Campbell spent the summer of ‘87 beating little Lattie’s brittle body, hitting him with their powerful fists. They smoked cigarettes…and then burned him with them. They burned him with scorching hot irons and held his little legs over boiling water, dumping him into it repeatedly. They pricked the 4-year-old with sewing needles and starved him of food and water.
