A heart breaking picture surfaced the internet last night of an adorable 5-year-old beaten until she turned black and blue.
Ava-Lynn attends Arlington Elementary in Mississippi, where according to the child’s mother, another child kicked her several times and caused the injuries. The mother is outraged that the child who abused her child is still in school, because no adult heard the screams of Ava-Lynn or was there to see the incident happen.
