“The death of Jah’Meik Modlin, an innocent four-year-old child, is a tragedy that has scarred this city.

Our Child Abuse Bureau is working diligently to secure justice for Jah’Meik and to support his three siblings during this immensely difficult process. If you are aware of severe neglect or abuse, please call 911 in an emergency, or contact us at 212-335-4308.”
