Roshaun Basey was lving with his two siblings and numerous cousins and aunts in the care of his grandmother...
While the family said the boy, whom they called Ro Ro, was loved, his family also told 12 News reporter Nick Bohr about abuse by a man who also lived in the home.
"Yeah, he hit Ro Ro before. He whipped all the kids, but he hit Ro Ro harder than he hit all the other
kids because Ro Ro was just bad. But Ro Ro aint nothing but 2 years old," Roshaun's aunt, Erica Thomas, said.
"He'd whip Ro Ro with a belt and stuff. One time, he hit Ro Ro with an extension cord, and I got mad," Roshaun's aunt, Dominique Thomas, said.
The same man was watching Roshaun when family members said he called out that the boy wasn't breathing after falling off this bed.
"We ran to the kitchen, and we laid him down on the floor with a pillow, and we were trying to wake him up, but he wouldn't get up," Erica Thomas said,
He had suffered a broken neck.
The man is under arrest, but he hasn't been charged yet with a crime.
"That's how I gotta look at it. He's in a better place. That's how I'm looking at it," Dominique Thomas said.
Milwaukee police and the district attorney's office are awaiting a medical ex
