After being an absent father, Christopher Gregor waltzed into his 6-year-old son’s life expecting everyone to fall in line. He ran little Corey Micciollo and the boy’s mother like a drill sergeant.

Corey was the result of an unfortunate tryst between his parents, and he never knew his father until his mom applied for financial assistance and a paternity test was required.

Reluctantly and at the pleading of his own parents, Gregor stepped in as Corey’s dad for the first time in their lives. Gregor pranced his son around to his family like an adorable little puppy, but behind closed doors he ran the first grader like a racetrack greyhound.

He would force him to run so hard on a treadmill in his condo complex that the boy stumbled and fell repeatedly, and Gregor always shoved him back on, at one point even grabbing Corey in frustration and biting his head.

The abuse was caught on video and it's hard to watch, but it’s also the evidence that helped put Gregor in prison when he brought his son’s all but lifeless body to the emergency room.
