Heartbreak Can Hit at Any Age

In 2014, alone, two one year old children have been killed by people close to them.

20 month old Adonta McCoy was found in critical condition  in the 6900 block of South Cornell Avenue on February 13th.
 

Vernon Henry, 26, of the 6600 block of South Paulina Street, was charged with first-degree murder after the boy died Saturday afternoon at Comer Children's Hospital, police said.

The body of 17-month old Amierah Roberson was found  in a Riverdale park and the child's death has been ruled a homicide, authorities said on Monday.

17-month old Amierah Roberson was reported missing on Sunday March 16 at 5pm after her mother went to pick her up from a home in the 3500 block of South Rhodes Avenue.

 Jocelyn Roberson, 23, had gone to her job on the South Side, leaving the child with her boyfriend. When she returned, she was told by her boyfriend that the child had suddenly disappeared, said Amierah's grandmother, Bernadette Madison, 46.
