“I TOSSED HIM HARD ENOUGH TO HIT HIS HEAD”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AUTHORITIES SAY A PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN ADMITTED TOSSING HER BOYFRIEND’S 2-YEAR-OLD SON BEFORE SEARCHING FOR HOMEMADE BRUISE CREAMS AND HOW TO REVIVE SOMEONE WHO PASSED OUT… AND SHE HAS NOW BEEN SENTENCED TO 20 TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON.
A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to decades behind bars for the death of 2-year-old Bentlee Myers.
Prosecutors described the toddler’s injuries as evidence of an ongoing pattern of abuse.
Bentlee had been staying for several weeks with his father’s girlfriend, Brianna Rufina Bloyer.
On August 16, 2024, an adult arrived at a home on Old Lake Lynn Road in Springhill Township.
The arriving adult discovered Bentlee unresponsive.
The toddler was found with his feet propped up.
His face was blue.
The adult was a Head Start teacher who arrived approximately 20 minutes to an hour after Bentlee was injured.
The teacher called 911 and immediately began CPR.
Authorities said Bloyer did not call 911 after Bentlee suffered the injuries.
Bentlee was transported to a hospital.
He was declared brain dead.
On August 19, Bentlee died from his injuries.
An autopsy determined that Bentlee suffered fatal blunt-force trauma to his head.
The autopsy revealed that his injuries included a brain bleed.
The medical examination documented bilateral subdural hematomas.
Bentlee also suffered bilateral retinal hemorrhages.
He had sustained internal injuries.
His left foot was broken.
Authorities documented bruising across the toddler’s face and head.
Bruising was noted on his ears.

Bruises were found on his inner lip.
Authorities also documented bruising across his arms and legs.
Bloyer initially told investigators that Bentlee had awakened that morning, stumbled around, and suddenly collapsed.
But her story changed.
During a subsequent police interview, Bloyer admitted that she had picked Bentlee up and tossed him.
She admitted that the toss caused him to strike his head hard.
Then investigators examined Bloyer’s phone.
Searches recovered from the day Bentlee was fatally injured included inquiries about how to get someone to come to after passing out.
Other searches on the device concerned anger during pregnancy.
Bloyer searched how long a carpet imprint on someone’s face would remain visible.
She searched for homemade bruise cream.
She also searched for what worked best to make bruises fade overnight.
At trial, prosecutors presented evidence showing that Bentlee had cuts and bruises in different stages of healing.
Prosecutors argued this evidence demonstrated that the child’s abuse had occurred over time rather than during an isolated incident.
Bentlee’s father, Brent Bisset, initially claimed he did not notice his son’s bruises until seeing him at the hospital.
Prosecutors alleged Bisset knew Bloyer had become increasingly stressed and frustrated with Bentlee.
They accused Bisset of failing to protect his son.
Bisset ultimately pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
He cooperated with prosecutors in Bloyer’s case.
Bisset received a sentence of four to eight years in prison.
On August 6, 2026, a jury found the now-32-year-old Bloyer guilty of third-degree murder.
Twenty days later, on August 26, she learned her punishment.
Bloyer was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison for killing 2-year-old Bentlee Myers.
