(InvestigateTV) - Semora Murrell was alarmed by the Facebook messages about her nephew.
“She would send him to the bathroom and make him sit for hours,” one message said.
Multiple people sent accounts to Murrell, Zayden’s aunt, that her 3-year-old nephew was being abused in his Minnesota foster home.
“She didn’t want to keep Zayden ‘cause she [couldn’t] handle him,” another person wrote.
But the concerned adults wrote the messages after the toddler was beaten so fiercely that the blows lacerated his organs. On June 7, 2017, he was found dead.
