The Oakland County prosecutor detailed the horrific abuse a 6-year-old Madison Heights boy endured before his death last week.

WARNING: This story contains graphic details of child abuse.

Elaina Jennings and her boyfriend, Daniel Giacchina, are both charged in the murder of 6-year-old Giovanni ‘Chulo’ Jennings.

Prosecutor Karen McDonald said the boy was bruised and cut all over including inside his mouth, a bloated abdomen, and an apparent BB wound.

According to the prosecutor, Chulo was confined in a pen in Giacchina and Jennings' bedroom. He slept on an 11-inch-by-36-inch wooden slat inside the pen, McDonald said. That pen included restraints to keep him inside and curtains so he could not see out.

The couple watched him with a security camera and, when he misbehaved they punished him.

According to McDonald, alleged misbehaving included trying to drink, trying to urinate, and attempting to escape what the couple called "The Corner."

McDonald said that one day Chulo was stapled face-first into the corner of the wall by his clothes because he looked out the window.

Giacchina allegedly sent a photo of the boy stapled to the wall with his head wedged in the corner and said he solved the problem of keeping his head in the corner. Giacchina and Jennings both allegedly laughed about this.

"This is one of the worst cases we’ve seen," McDonald said of the abuse.
