Joshua Salovich [photo, left], was charged with capital murder, meaning he could face the death penalty, and is being held without bail after the horrifying attack on Friday.<br />
Detectives testified that the 25-year-old boxer in training beat toddler Bailey Salovich at maximum force with a bamboo rod, a cellphone cord and his hands.<br />
Salovich also said &#8216;this was a tough world and she had to be tough if she wanted to survive,&#8217; Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose said Monday.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;She apparently did not want to participate and get the correct numbers,&#8217; Detective Kevin Boyd said.<br />
&#8216;He said he would pop her with his hands on her butt and legs when she got a wrong answer&#8230; (he said he) backhanded her several times in the stomach because she kept getting it wrong.&#8217;<br />
When Salovich was told the child died Boyd said he &#8216;got upset. What he stated was, &#8216;I killed my child. I killed my child,&#8217; according to the <a class="" href="http://www.meridianstar.com/news/local_news/man-charged-with-capital-murder-after-child-s-death/article_e0aef3f4-6afc-11e7-8abc-af397ed87926.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Meridian Star</a>.<br />
Dubose said it isn&#8217;t clear whether Salovich is the child&#8217;s biological father.</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><strong><img class="alignnone wp-image-214809" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/joshua-salovich-1.png" alt="Joshua Salovich 1.png" width="715" height="430" /> Joshua Salovich enters the municipal courtroom for his preliminary hearing in the death of three-year-old Bailey Salovich, Monday</strong></h6>
<div class="mol-img-group floatRHS">
<p class="imageCaption">Police were called Friday afternoon after the child arrived at a local emergency room with bruises and cuts all over her body, and at least one head wound, Dubose said.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Questioning Salovich and the child&#8217;s mother separately, Dubose said Salovich told police that he was asking the toddler questions about numbers and would &#8216;pop&#8217; her when she answered incorrectly.<br />
Salovich said he had used the same method to discipline the child at least five times per week, Dubose said. Salovich told police he used a bamboo rod until it broke, then switched to a cellphone cord to administer some of the licks. Other blows came from his hand.<br />
&#8216;He did state that on that day, the child was giving an unusual amount of incorrect answers,&#8217; Dubose said.<br />
The girl was later taken by helicopter to a Jackson hospital for treatment, where she died Saturday afternoon, Dubose said.<br />
The hospital called in the police after the three-year-old was brought in with a swollen, red abdomen, bruises and welts on her legs, lacerations on her buttocks, U-shaped marks on her legs and buttocks as well as a head wound.<br />
Police said the toddler&#8217;s injuries included bleeding in the brain and lungs, and possible retinal detachment.<br />
Police are awaiting autopsy results to determine a cause of death.<br />
When investigators asked Salovich how hard he had hit the child, on a scale of one being a tap and 10 being as hard as he could, &#8216;he rated them all 10s, with no hesitation,&#8217; Dubose said.</p>

<div class="container-36EYi vertical--v2Ug">Detectives Boyd and Thomas Abate testified that Bailey Salovich soiled herself and, after Joshua Salovich removed her clothing, she soiled herself again.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Dubose said Joshua Salovich and the mother, who has a different last name, said the mother was in a different room, explaining why she hasn&#8217;t been charged. But Dubose said police are still investigating, including whether the mother knew about his punishment methods.<br />
Dubose said police hadn&#8217;t received any earlier reports about the child or the adults.<br />
The Meridian Star reported that the mother, who cried with relatives through most of the preliminary hearing, collapsed after the hearing and was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.<br />
Dubose said that in his decades of police work, it&#8217;s unusual for someone to freely admit abusing a child as Joshua Salovich did.<br />
&#8216;He was pretty straightforward about what he did and why he did it,&#8217; Dubose said.</p>
