Police said the child's mother told them Walker once hit the boy in the face, taped his hands, mouth and feet and then put him under water. When asked what happened, the victim said: "When daddy gets mad, he holds (me) under water in the bathtub," according to court documents.
During the investigation, the boy told police he was hit with a baseball bat and board and that his dad "drowned him a lot."
