## Resource

A thirteen-month-old boy named Preston Davey was brutally murdered and sexually abused by his adoptive father, Jamie Varley, who claimed the baby drowned — a lie shattered by autopsy findings revealing forty injuries, including sexual assault. Preston, once a joyful infant with a radiant smile, died in July after enduring horrific trauma. His biological parents and foster caregivers, who adored him, now live with unbearable grief and the haunting knowledge of what he suffered. Varley was convicted of murder; his partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, received a sentence for sexual assault and child cruelty. This is a story of shattered trust, unimaginable loss, and the devastating cost of failure to protect a child. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
