They say that you can never go wrong with doing a story on dogs or kids. People love both of them because they are drawn in by the cuteness factor. The problem is when the kid becomes an innocent victim.
Last night I covered a story about Imani Jennings. Imani was 20 months old and Friday late afternoon police found her dead in her apartment. As we learned more about the story, police told us that the mother's boyfriend (who by the way is 15) beat the child with a metal rod, cable wire and a metal spring then left to go to school.
When the couple got home from school, the child was lifeless in their apartment. Apparently police say the couple routinely left the child home alone with nothing but chicken nuggets and milk.
While the due process of law presumes everyone is innocent until proven guilty, if you have a heart, you can't help but be bothered by the fact that a 20 month old child was left to fend for herself.
As if the story can't get more twisted, I spoked to the biological father and grandmother and they were in the process of filing for custody after they say the mom denied the dad visitation at least five times.
Here's the story:
