On Monday, the father of 6-year-old Damari Perry held a balloon release for his murdered child. This comes as we learn more about the child's mother who is accused of killing her own son.
The mother of Damari Perry, the 6-year-old North Chicago boy found dead three days after his family reported him missing, remains in police custody at a hospital, officials said Monday.
The 6-year-old Illinois boy whose body was found in an abandoned Northwest Indiana house had been forced into a cold shower by a relative, prosecutors said.
In a case with tragic similarities to that of AJ Freund, a Lake County prosecutor said Sunday that a 6-year-old boy was forced into cold water for an extended period of time as punishment before he died.
Damari Perry had been forced to stay in the running shower for an unknown amount of time before he began vomiting and became unresponsive Dec. 29, officials said in court Sunday.
