Some of his family members realized he had a black eye when he showed up at a family baby shower party.
Crystal had tried to poorly cover the black eye up with makeup.
A neighbor witnessed Crystal slap Christopher right across his tiny little face.
That’s not even all of it though…

Christopher landed in the hospital the summer before he died. He had a huge bump on his head and he was completely covered in bruises all over his little body.
His Mom just explained to a nurse they were mosquito bites.
Crystal had even been CONVICTED of misdemeanor domestic battery after the hospital visit the following fall, and told a police officer that she hit Christopher.
How was Crystal still allowed to have custody of Christopher after all of these terrible things she did to him?!

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services simply concluded the abuse against Christopher was “unfounded.”
Crystal didn’t go to jail for what she did leading up to his tragic death.
Crystal didn’t have Christopher removed from her care.
Crystal didn’t have her other children taken away from her.
A month after she was convicted of domestic battery, she just killed Christopher.

On the day of Christopher’s 4th birthday, Joseph and Katrine arrived at Crystal’s house after their neighbor told them disturbing details of what Crystal was doing to Christopher.
When they arrived, they found him dead in his bedroom.
That’s right, this monster Mom killed her own poor little son on his birthday.

Crystal wrapped him in a blanket, and there were bruises all over him.
“I laid him on his back…And I said, “What did you do? What did you do?”
Katrine recounted the chilling details in her testimony.
“I killed him, my Christopher.” Crystal screamed in the background of the 911 call that was placed.
How could a Mom do this? It’s heartbreaking & unbelievable.
