8 year old Raijon Daniels was unresponsive in his bedroom when police and paramedics reached him, his body covered with chemical and rope burns, sores, and other injuries. The vomit around his mouth suggested that he may have died from swallowing household cleaner or another poison. Raijon’s school had become suspicious when his mother, Teresa Moses, told them to stop giving the boy food at school, alleging that he was on a special diet. Moses pulled the boy out of school and registered with the state as “Teresa’s Home School.” Moses told police she disciplined him by pouring chemicals on him as a punishment for wetting his bed. She kept him locked in his bedroom, watching him over a surveillance camera and fed him only a special diet mixed in a blender. Raijon did not recover from his injuries.
