A 2-year-old Wharton County boy endured repeated abuse throughout his short life. According to the Department of Family and Protective Services’ child fatality report, Daniel Escamia’s young life was dotted with abuse and neglect investigations, with the first one coming right after he was born. Daniel Escamia’s fatality report was released more than three months after he succumbed to extensive injury and trauma to the head, as explained in his autopsy. Little Daniel’s mother, Rebecca Hart, is charged with capital murder while the boy’s father, Eddie Escamia, is charged with child endangerment with bodily injury. The two people who were supposed to protect Daniel did not, investigators say.
