Father admits he beat his daughter, three, to death because she couldn't answer MATH questions correctly and tells cops she 'had to be tough if she wanted to survive'
A Mississippi father has confessed to beating his three-year-old daughter to death because she couldn't answer math questions correctly and has told investigators 'she had to be tough if she wanted to survive.'
Joshua Salovich was charged with capital murder, meaning he could face the death penalty, and is being held without bail after the horrifying attack on Friday.
Detectives testified that the 25-year-old boxer in training beat toddler Bailey Salovich at maximum force with a bamboo rod, a cellphone cord and his hands.
Salovich also said 'this was a tough world and she had to be tough if she wanted to survive,' Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose said Monday.
'She apparently did not want to participate and get the correct numbers,' Detective Kevin Boyd said.
'He said he would pop her with his hands on her butt and legs when she got a wrong answer... (he said he) backhanded her several times in the stomach because she kept getting it wrong.'
When Salovich was told the child died Boyd said he 'got upset. What he stated was, 'I killed my child. I killed my child,' according to the Meridian Star.
Dubose said it isn't clear whether Salovich is the child's biological father.
Salovich's court-appointed lawyer didn't immediately respond to a phone message and an email seeking comment Monday evening.
Police were called Friday afternoon after the child arrived at a local emergency room with bruises and cuts all over her body, and at least one head wound, Dubose said.
Questioning Salovich and the child's mother separately, Dubose said Salovich told police that he was asking the toddler questions about numbers and would 'pop' her when she answered incorrectly.
Salovich said he had used the same method to discipline the child at least five times per week, Dubose said. Salovich told police he used a bamboo rod until it broke, then switched to a cellphone cord to administer some of the licks. Other blows came from his hand.

Dude hearing a 3 year old cry after they fall down on accident is difficult. And this muthafucka did all that ? . There really need to special cases were they should not even bother with a trial and tax payer money and just straight to sentencing.

Damn... I got whooped as a kid but the one time I popped my daughter upside the head I felt guilty for weeks afterwards. I don't know how people can do it.

Yall ain't ? .
That self-hate must take a lot of energy. -
I hate him
Watch he will blame brain injury or some ish to weasel out of it
These boxers/MMA/combative sports guys are crazy. And tend to forget a lot of things or blame their time in the ring for their aggressive actions. -

Nah son, my mom's never beat me to death. Let me ask some of my other hommies who are still alive and breathing if their mom's ever beat them to death and get back to you on that. There's gotta be somebody alive right now who got beat to death by their mom's and can tell us about how it wasn't a big deal and ppl need to stop going so easy on their kids. -
I was expecting an asian...
