Anthony Badalamenti, who, as a personal trainer, helped overweight contestants lose weight on The Biggest Loser, proved that he was indeed the biggest loser of all when he was arrested on Friday on suspicion of beating his girlfriend’s six year old son with a weightlifting belt.

According to the  Nassau County, New York’s police department, neighbors heard the boy calling for help and contacted police. When the police arrived, the lights in the residence suddenly went off and the crying stopped, and no one answered the phone or the door.  After knocking the door to the home down , authorities  found they young child in his room, “crying, with multiple lacerations, contusions and bruises.” More specifically, the boy had multiple lacerations and bruises on his right hand, right leg, and buttocks. The landlord of the building, Joe Salerno, said that he had heard the child being beaten for more than a month before he decided to finally call the police. He waited so long because he thought, “it was a private matter.”

Badalamenti and the child’s mother, Jessica Muniz, were both arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, possession of a dangerous weapon and endangering the welfare of a child. The boy is currently staying with relatives.

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That is, if you actually ever get to Vegas. The Roloffs have plans to go to Las Vegas on the first of tonight’s double episode of Little People Big World, but Matt messes up the scheduling, and Amy is fit to be tied, as you can see in the clip:

And in the episode that follows, the boys have a little unsupervised fun while Mom and Dad are away, and it puts them in a precarious situation.

Little People Big World airs tonight at 8 PM on TLC
