A California family is grieving the tragic death of 6-year-old Chance Crawford, who was allegedly beaten to death by his babysitter, 41-year-old Ernest Lamar Love. Love, who has pleaded not guilty, faces charges of murder, torture, and child abuse. Prosecutors say Love, a barber, brutally abused Chance while his mother worked a night shift. The boy was found with severe injuries, including brain swelling and raw wounds, and died from his injuries after being brought to the hospital. The abuse reportedly began after Chance had an accident at the park. The family describes Chance as a “sweet” and “happy” child, and they are devastated by his loss. Love is being held without bail and could face a life sentence if convicted. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist with funeral costs.
