This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Zymere Perkins, a 6 year old boy living in Harlem who lost his life at the hands of his mother's boyfriend. Zymere was deprived of food and sleep, thrust into icy showers, and relentlessly beaten with belts and sticks by his mother and her boyfriend. Like in many cases that we cover, child services were notified of the abuse taking place in the home multiple times, but no action was taken to ensure little Zymere's safety.
