## Resource

When six-year-old Justin Elmore arrived at the hospital, the adults caring for him said his injuries came from hitting himself in the head. Doctors immediately knew something was wrong with that explanation. Justin had a brain bleed, a punctured lung, and injuries across his body. Then investigators searched the home, the adults’ phones, and the surveillance footage, and discovered a sad tale of continuous abuse.
