SICK MOMENT FATHER FORCES SON, 6, TO WALK TREADMILL B/C ‘TOO FAT’ – Crime Online

Christopher Gregor, now on trial, is charged in the death of his six-year-old son Corey Micciolo.

Gregor took his son to the hospital and said that he had let his son sleep because he was sleepy and nauseous. When Corey woke up, he was stumbling, slurring his speech and having trouble breathing. Corey died in the hospital.

Surveillance video at the gym of the complex where Gregor lived shows Corey running on a treadmill while Gregor increases the speed and incline of the machine until the 6-year-old cannot keep up and falls off. Gregor lifts the boy off the ground by his shirt and holds Corey above the running treadmill.

Corey’s feet slide out from under him several times as he tries to regain traction, and Gregor appears to bite Corey in the back of the head. Corey eventually starts running again and falls off the treadmill five more times before Gregor turns him off and they leave together.

Corey’s mother, Breanna Micciolo, testified that she feared for Corey’s life. Documentation shows she made more than 100 calls and emails to the Department of Child Protective Services to report abuse. Pediatrician Dr. Nancy Deacon, who treated Corey days before his death, testified about what she observed.

Deacon had a blue-gray bruise on his left cheek, a large yellow-green bruise on his left shoulder, another large yellow-green bruise on his left inner arm and a blue bruise on his elbow. In addition to the twelve bruises covering Corey Micciolo’s body, the doctor noticed two areas on the right side of his chest. She called it two areas of hyperpigmented skin, meaning the wound was healing but the pigment had not yet returned.
