The tragedy of Jah'meik Modlin's death due to malnutrition and abuse perpetrated by his parents underscores a dire need for awareness and action against child neglect.
In a harrowing account, District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated, 'That he died a slow and painful death, starving alongside his older siblings, somehow isolated... is a stain on our collective conscience.'
Court documents reveal the parents' chilling actions, such as turning the refrigerator toward the wall and using zip ties on cabinet doors to prevent their children from accessing food.
According to the investigation, the conditions in which Jah'meik and his siblings lived were horrifying, with one room filled with fecal matter, symbolizing severe neglect.
