An Escambia County man has been charged with aggravated child abuse after the Pensacola Police Department responded to a residence and found a child not breathing.
Alonzo Thompkins, 26, of 500 East Fairfield Drive, was booked into the Escambia County Jail where he remains without bond.
Thompkins was left alone with the two-year-old male, who was the son of Thompkins’ girlfriend. The mother called police around 9 a.m. after she returned home and found her son was not breathing.
An initial investigation determined the deceased child had multiple injuries. The investigation is continuing.

Rodney, I don’t believe William would have used the past tense (“who was the son…”) if a resuscitation had been successful
Prayers for the mother who must now deal with the trauma, tragedy, legal issues facing her ‘boyfriend’ (hopefully no longer!) and the depth of grief a mom experiences at the loss of a child. Equally important are the grief and trauma the first responders are dealing with.
May God in heaven bring each of you peace and reassurance that you are blessings, even in the midst of such evil acts upon a child and his mother.
This is beyond sad, prayers for the mother of the child. So many times when this happens even the mother supports the boyfriend, good for this mom not putting up with him. Hope he receives the worse punishment they have for this crime.
this is why u don’t trust you kids with everybody he need to be put to death an eye for an eye
Were medical professionals able to resuscitate the child?
I hope they put him in the general population of the jail with a sign around his neck that classifies him as a Child Abuser so Big Bertha can take care of him !!
