A 9-year-old boy will beg a judge not to throw his black father in prison - even though the monster dad beat him, burned him and stuffed him into an oven

James Moss, 53, pleaded guilty to torturing his son Christopher because he thought that the boy had stolen $20 from his wallet. Moss faces up to seven years in prison for the attack on his forgiving son. "In over 15 years as a district attorney and an assistant district attorney, this was one of the most shocking and sadistic cases of child abuse I have ever prosecuted," said Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan. The 6-foot-2, 270-pound dad threatened to kill the boy on May 12, 2010, at their Staten Island home, authorities said. Moss took Christopher to the basement and ripped off his clothes. Then he pulled the boy into the kitchen and used a spatula to beat him across his back. The demon dad heated up two burners on the stove and held the defenseless boy's hands on them until his skin began to peel. Prosecutors said that Moss punched his son in the face and then forced him into the oven. "I'm going to burn you alive!" he yelled, according to law enforcement sources. Donovan said that the boy screamed and begged to be let out of the oven, as his father threatened to turn it on. Moss eventually let him out and threw the boy, still naked, out the front door. The boy's young sister pleaded with the dad to let her brother back inside. Skin was falling off the boy's burned hands, but Moss ignored his son's pain and never took him to a hospital, court papers say. Instead, Moss let him inside the house and ordered him to sit naked on the floor "like a dog," court records show. When his mother got home, she took him to a hospital, where he was treated for second- and third-degree burns and cuts to his back and knees.
