Suffering in Silence

These true events may be hard for some people to read. From child abuse to negligent care from medical professionals, this is Jomar's story. At only three months old, Jomar suffered traumatic injuries throughout his body alongside a life-threatening birth defect. There were many instances where this child should not have survived due to the bodily harm that he endured. A young mother began fighting for the rights of her child as she tried to prove her innocence. The tattoos that were laid over her body like a canvas only made her look more threatening in the eyes of the world. In order to get justice for her child, she went through hell and back. Yet no justice has been served. Hopefully this will bring light to the horrific acts against a newborn child and the pain his mother had to endure. Now at only two years old, Jomar cannot remember the pain that he went through nor can he speak to tell his story.
