Dream - Christopher Gregor (31), a man from New Jersey, United States (US), is currently facing charges of manslaughter after forcing his 6-year-old son to run on a treadmill. The son, Corey Micciolo (6), died from injuries sustained on April 2, 2021, which authorities deemed as "chronic abuse".

A CCTV recording played in court shows Gregor increasing the treadmill speed to an unreasonable level for children. As reported by NY Post, Christopher Gregor is seen forcing his child to get up again after falling five times.

Even though he fell repeatedly, Gregor still forced his son to run on the treadmill because he considered Corey too fat. In one clip, Gregor appeared to bite his son's head. This sequence repeated four more times before Gregor finally slowed down the machine.

However, damage to Corey's body has occurred, with visible external and internal bruising. "When you watch the video, you will feel horrified," said lawyer Gregor, Mario Gallucci, to the jury during his opening statement in court.

"You will feel ashamed. Corey's death has nothing to do with the treadmill," he added. The prosecutor disagreed, stating that it was the chronic abuse by his father that caused the child to suffer internal injuries, ultimately leading to his death two weeks after the workout."

"He has a bruise on his forehead. The shape is very strange. It looks like an impression. He has one on his chest too. It looks like a scratch," he said to the jury. Micciolo then took his son to the pediatrician. To the doctor, the child admitted that his father told him to run on the treadmill because he was too overweight."

On April 2, 2021, Corey woke up from his nap with unclear words and stumbled due to nausea. He was then rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead. Gregor was arrested three months later on charges of child neglect partly based on that video.

"In September 2021, a forensic pathology expert determined that the death of the boy was a result of murder due to chronic child abuse, including blunt force injuries to his chest and abdomen, as well as injuries to his heart. Gregor was arrested for murder on March 9, 2022, and charged with Corey's death."
