Chyann Moon, 23, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death in the killing of Alexander Jose Sarmiento, who investigators say was severely beaten and \u201cintentionally and maliciously\u201d injured by his godfather \u2014 Moon\u2019s boyfriend \u2014 while in Moon\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n

Police arrested the godfather, Alexander Martinez-Armstrong, 24, on suspicion of first-degree murder in May. The boy\u2019s mother, 23-year-old Destini Rose Lipsky, was also arrested on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death in May.<\/p>\n

Lipsky told police she dropped her son off at Martinez-Armstrong\u2019s \u201cboot camp\u201d because the boy had been lying to her, sneaking candy into his room and not listening to her, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n

Martinez-Armstrong told police Lipsky gave him permission to \u201cdiscipline\u201d the boy using the same methods she did, including whipping him with a belt, spanking and forced exercise.<\/p>\n

Martinez-Armstrong beat the 4-year-old dozens of times over the course of four days and forced him to do push-ups, planks and wall-sits even as he repeatedly fell on his face, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n

Moon told investigators conflicting accounts of what happened, and at one point told police she heard screaming coming from the living room, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n

She is in custody on a $100,000 bail. Moon\u2019s next court date was not available Friday.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
