J. Smith
J. Smith was a 7-year-old boy who had been taken into custody of his grandfather after his parents passed away. Throughout the years his grandfather continued to sexually and physically abuse him. Smith had threatened to call the police many times, but his grandfather retaliated by doing the same, threatening him with death. This continued until he was 18 and moved out, telling the police, and having his grandfather put into jail with hundreds of charges against him.
1-Month Old Child
Two parents living in Indianapolis were arrested for charges of Child Abuse and Drug use. They had a 1-month-old child living in their house, which had no clean water or food. There were drugs scattered around the house, mostly marijuana and cocaine, which the mother admits to using. The parents have had many other children taken out of their custody in the past over Child Abuse and Drug usage; and so, the baby was born in a bathtub and was never reported to the state or even a hospital in fear of it getting taken away as well. The father of the child also admitted to accidently hurting the child but never reporting it out of the same fear of it getting taken away. The parents were both arrested and are on a 30-thousand-dollar bond.
