A child exploitation case has come to public attention after a former teacher appeared in court, accused of ab*sing and ending the life of a 13-month-old boy he had been planning to adopt.
Prosecutors alleged the child suffered repeated mistreatment during the few months he lived with the couple, from early 2023 until his passing in July 2023.
The case quickly gained attention online, with one user writing, “That little boy who just needed love and kindness.”
