Monitor the wellbeing of Jeremiah Whittington

Monitor the wellbeing of Jeremiah Whittington

The Issue

Jeremiah Whittington is the 3 year-old child whose presumed father, Justin Whittington punched in the face and knocked to ground in a convenient store in Bakersfield CA. After punching the child, Justin stood over him yelling at him, then pulled him up by his shirt and pushed him away. The child's presumed mother finally came up at that point and rather than comfort him or get mad at the abuser, she just grabbed his hand and led him out of the store while he was crying. This child's life is very likely in constant danger. Additionally, the mother Crystal appeared to be pregnant. The Whittington's desperately need intensive therapy and continual monitoring to ensure the very survival of this child and the one on the way.
