A
three year old child is brutally beaten by his mother’s boyfriend and
then threatened to remain quiet or he’ll get another beating. One
morning following another beating, the child goes to school with bruises
on his face and is questioned by a concerned teacher. Petrified and not
knowing what to do or say, the little boy eventually discloses the
horrific abuse to the teacher who calls the police. It is later
discovered that this boy had belt marks on his back and stomach, and
bruises all over his body.
Police also find his 22-month old sister with black eyes, burn injuries, a swollen hand, and two pigtails having been ripped out of their roots. The abuser, Darius Clark , is arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse. Justice seems to be having its way until shortly before the trial when the judge decides that the child isn’t capable of testifying against the defendant.
