The Aftermath of a Brutal Incident
The mother, Rainah Riley expressed that the child incurred a skull fracture, a brain injury, blunt force trauma to the head, and rib fractures. The boy died twice and had to be revived with CPR and medication. Jaevion is currently in a coma at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The injuries were described as torture, mutilation, and brutalization. The mother expressed that with all the injuries inflicted on his son, she was certain that the father wanted to kill her child.
The police reported that Mohammad tried to give out his own side of the story. He said that the child burned himself when he was in the shower. However, there was no evidence showing the boy was in the shower. He then followed that he used water and other means of force to discipline Jaevion.
