Cantonment Man Charged With Felony Child Abuse
May 10, 2023
A Cantonment man is charged with abusing two children.
Billy Ray Constantine, 26, was charged with two felony counts of child abuse without great bodily harm. He remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $150,000.
Two children reportedly suffered multiple bruises caused by Constantine. The Florida Department of Children and Families Child Protective Investigator launched an investigation after receiving a DCF report that minors were at risk for domestic violence and environmental hazards.
One of the children said he smokes around her “but not from normal smelling cigarettes” and she sometimes “sees him eat baby powder off a spoon”. The child had bruises on her body and told investigators that they were from Constantine hitting her, according to an arrest report. A child with a bruise on her face said it was from Constantine hitting and kicking her the night before, the report continues, addinging that one of the children was currently wearing a brace after her arm was “stomped”.
Constantine also allegedly told an adult not to report the alleged abuse or he would “shoot up her house”, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report states.
DCF placed the children in other homes due to the allegations, and the investigation is continuing, the report notes.

Look at this piece of Trash. He has no respect for himself, let alone any others. As Jesus said it would be better for a millstone to be hung around his neck and him be thrown into a lake than to hurt a child. The lake for this disgusting animal is going to be the lake of fire.
Death penalty for child abusers when?
Job security
To the CO’s
It’s a shame someone abuses a child. Drugs are bad!! May you rot in prison.
Known him since he was a young boy he’s had a bad life and delt with a lot of abuse and got in trouble on drugs I hate that he hurt them kids he should be punished at the fullest no child should ever be hurt or abused or made feel worthless smh some people shouldn’t have kids!
This guy has always been trouble. This is not his first charges against children.Made my son stop being friends with him in Elementary School.I pray that he never gets to lay his hands on a precious child again.He needs to never be allowed around a child under 18
@steve amen you are 100% correct sir !!!!
the abuser will soon be the abused .
Kicking is too great bodily harm. Please help those children find a decent life with loving people.
We have been reporting him for 4 years and we finally found the right person to take us seriously. But the mother denied all of it and said the children were lier’s . So the mom should be there with him. This should have never happened, period!
.
The only good thing is this one will fit right in with the crowd he is going to be living with!!! Only problem is again when they find out what you are in for it all changes !!! Some of the prisoners have children and now you will see what really happens to a child abuser like yourself!!!! Have fun you ain’t gonna like it!!! If you make it out
You can ‘t help people who don’t want to be helped. If he’s been doing this to the children for awhile he should have been reported the first time he abused one. I don’t understand why people see this and don’t report it. They should be charged for failure to report child abuse. They in my opinion are just as guilty. Protect thechildren.
Job chances not good for this young man.
beating up kids, real winner right here
Honestly, let him rot. How can you do that to a child? Especially after being a victim yourself.
No excuses and hope that he sits in there especially after threatening other people over his OWN actions.
The definition of SCUM OF THE EARTH is harming their children & then trying to INTIMIDATE people because you know what you did was disgusting & that you should be locked up.
So many times in & out of jail & it does no good, just a menace to society at this point & so well known across the city as a clown
Let’s see if the lazy/weak prosecutors and judges do their job here. He’s terrorized kids/abused children and threatened neighbors. Put this trash in jail for life.
Oh, Billy, you were such a cute kid with so much potential. This is what happens when one parent tries to teach right from wrong and the other doesn’t let you face any consequences for your actions. The rest of us tried to help you, but we obviously failed.
