Jaquan Porter was 10 years old when he died from fatal head injuries after being slammed against a wall. His mother, Melissa Sekulski, did not seek immediate medical treatment for the boy. Sekulski had removed her obese son from public school to protect him from bullying, but went on to beat him to death less than a year later. The beatings had begun three years earlier. His mother had filed the proper paperwork to begin homeschooling, but his grieving father blamed the school board for not checking up on him. Neighbors said they couldn’t recall seeing the boy. The boy’s mother admitted to the abuse.
