CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland man faces felony child endangerment charges after he beat his 7-year-old stepson with a towel rack because the boy had trouble pronouncing a word correctly, according to court documents.

Juan Ordaz-Munoz, 25, was arrested July 27, five days after police say he beat the boy took place. It's the second time that he has been accused of using physical violence on the 7-year-old, according to court filings, but the first time he has been charged with a felony in Cuyahoga County.

Ordaz-Munoz got upset on July 22 when the boy couldn't pronounce the word "television" and started beating him with a towel holder, court records say.

The beating left bruises and open wounds on the boy's chest, legs and buttocks, police say.

Ordaz-Munoz pleaded not guilty during arraignment Tuesday and remains in county jail on $50,000 bond.
