On 26 September, 2016, a young mother rushed from a Harlem apartment building carrying her six-year-old son in her arms. The boy was limp, unresponsive. His small body was covered in bruises, welts, and broken bones - evidence of months of brutal abuse. The investigation into what happened would reveal something equally disturbing: a child welfare system that had failed him at every turn, despite five separate reports of abuse.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement.
