Missing baby's sister left unable to speak, walk after abuse: Report

() New details have emerged about the injuries a missing baby’s sister suffered years before the baby disappeared.

Missing 7-month-old California baby Emmanuel Haro’s sister was abused at 10 weeks old, to the point of no longer being able to see, talk or walk, according to journalist Abby Escobar.

Baby Emmanuel was reported missing Aug. 14. His mother told police he was taken from the parking lot of a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa by a stranger who knocked her unconscious as she was changing his diaper.

Warrants have been issued for cellphones belonging to Emmanuel’s parents, Rebecca and Jake Haro, as deputies continue their search for him.

Escobar, commonly known as “Abby Blabby,” told “Banfield” on Wednesday that Emmanuel’s sister Promise, who is now 7, was “practically killed” by the injuries she suffered as an infant.

According to Escobar, Avila’s cousin adopted the girl and renamed her Promise Faith. Escobar has since spoken with Promise’s adoptive mother.

“They were told that they didn’t think she would even live a week after this happened, but they have done everything they can for this little girl to keep her going,” Escobar said.

“She can’t walk, she can’t talk, she’s blind. It’s just horrible. But, I mean, she said that Promise is her miracle baby, and really she is. It’s amazing that she survived that at 10 weeks old.”

Jake Haro pleaded guilty to willful child cruelty after Promise was admitted to a hospital with broken bones in 2018, according to the Orange County Register.

Per the Daily Breeze, an affidavit citing comments from doctors at Loma Linda University Medical Center found Promise had “an ‘acute’ fractured rib, ‘healing’ fractures of six ribs, a skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage, swelling of the neck and a ‘healing’ fractured leg bone.”

An officer wrote, quoting a doctor, “The combination of the above findings in a pre-mobile infant, in the absence of a plausible history of significant trauma to explain the injuries, is indicative of abuse (sic) head trauma, child physical abuse and nutritional neglect.”

The outlet also reported Jake Haro told police his sister opened his iPad to a webpage that read “How to feed a baby with broken ribs.” He denied to the officer that he’d used the iPad at the time of the search, which occurred before Promise arrived at the hospital in 2018.

“She feels that justice wasn’t served the first time,” Escobar said of Avila’s cousin. “Which, I mean, it obviously wasn’t … she has made comments to the point of, if justice had been served the first time, then this wouldn’t have happened to more children.

“She said that when she first heard the news story, it just broke her to pieces,” Escobar added. “She immediately had a feeling, as I feel most people have. I mean, the story just doesn’t really make them very much sense.”

Police say Jake Haro declined to be interviewed further when they questioned inconsistencies in the story about Emmanuel’s disappearance, and that detectives haven’t been able to rule out foul play.

Jake Haro’s attorney told “Banfield” on Tuesday that he wants to cooperate with police and has handed over all his electronic devices and passwords.
