Rebekah Baptiste, 10, Sought Help Before Alleged Murder

New police records reveal that 10-year-old Rebekah Baptiste sought help months before her tragic death, detailing abuse from her father and his girlfriend, who face murder charges. Despite evidence of injuries and a 911 call where Rebekah reported being physically punished, the case was closed after her parents claimed the injuries were self-inflicted. Rebekah was later found unresponsive in July 2025, having suffered extensive abuse. Investigators noted prior reports of child safety concerns, but no action was taken before her death.
