Описание: Jamarrs Promise is the shocking true story of Kristin I. Morris fight to protect a nine-year-old child, Jamarr Cruz, that ended in his tragic death and New Jerseys Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS)s denial of its responsibility in the case.
As a caseworker for DYFS, Kristin helped many children and families; it was her lifes passion. Nine-year-old Jamarr was living with his grandparents after his mothers boyfriend, Vincent Williams, beat him repeatedly. Jamarr told Kristin it was not safe for him to return home. Kristin urgently tried to keep Jamarr safe with his grandparents, but was told by superiors that Latino children are kept in the home at all costs. This time, the cost was Jamarr Cruzs life. In 2009 after Jamaars return to Omayra Cruz and Vincent Williams, Vincent beat Jamarr to death. Not only did Kristins superiors at the DYFS block her efforts to help Jamarr, but when he was killed, they blamed Kristin for his death.
Jamarrs Promise is a call to end corrupt loyalties in New Jerseys DYFS. It is a call to protect children from Jamarrs fate. It is a call for justice for Kristin Morris, who did the right thing and was punished unjustly for it.
