His name is Jevias and he’s 18 months old

Jevias was brought to the emergency room by a woman claiming that a gang member dropped him off at her house.  She “took care” of him for two days before deciding that he needed medical attention.  His injuries were so severe he was listed in serious condition with multiple injuries and cigarette burns on his feet.  She couldn’t pick him up without him saying “owie, owie, owie”.  Tacoma WA police department released some information trying to track down the childs mother.  It turns out she is a prostitute and the person charged with assaulting Jevias is her pimp.  Jevias is currently in foster care.  Police are trying to determine whether to charge the mother and the woman who brought him to the hospital with Obstruction. I don’t know if the news will have any more to say about Jevias and what happened to him.  Probably not; as he already has several things going against him, he’s a child, he’s poor and his mom is a prostitute.  I’m sure that there is so much to this story that isn’t being said and more than likely Jevias isn’t the only victim in the situation.
