What Happened to Jeffrey?

It takes a village to raise a child; when the village is no longer functional, child neglect is all too often the consequence.

Five year old Jeffrey Baldwin was found dead in the basement of his grandmother's home on November 30, 2002.He was all skin and bones, weighing no more than 19 pounds.
