Read this one at work today and had a cry. The details of admissions of abuse by mom herself and her failure to protect this beautiful baby from her boyfriend are so hard to read.
In the complaint released by the District Attorney's office, it says that the mother admitted to hitting her son on numerous occasions and used a broomstick once.
The broom stick was recovered in the building's trash compactor.

Geraldine Perkins was investigated for possible child abuse on five occasions, beginning in June 2010. The latest questioning came just five months ago, when Zymere told a school worker the bruises on his leg occurred when a cousin whacked him with a scooter, a source told The News.
Later that day, Zymere told authorities his mom hit him in the head with a belt, the source said.

The duo was outraged when Miller washed and fed Zymere while his mom and her boyfriend were out partying for Perkins’ July 2015 birthday, according to the victim.
“They jumped me and severely beat me in front of my (1-year-old) son, until my son couldn’t recognize my face,” said Miller, who lived alongside Zymere’s family in a Queens homeless shelter.
Miller was walking her boy in a stroller when the couple attacked, leaving her feeling as terrorized as the lovable little Zymere.

People tried to get this baby help and he was left in throes of abject poverty to be this couples punching bag.
