A heartwarming photo of 4-year-old Sadoni from Boston, who sadly passed away after cardiac arrest, has prompted his mother, Genesis Parris, to seek answers following the discovery of unexplained bruises on his face.

BOSTON, MA- A Boston mother is mourning the sudden death of her 4-year-old son, Sadoni, who went into cardiac arrest on Tuesday. Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the child's tragic death in Mattapan, treating the case as a criminal investigation.

Genesis Parris, the mother of Sadoni, had entrusted a man she knew to pick up her children from daycare while she went to the hospital due to early contractions. Knowing her kids were in good hands, she believed she could rest easy. However, her trust was shattered when the man messaged her that Sadoni had stopped breathing.

Rushing home from the hospital, Parris found the man performing chest compressions on her son while 911 was being contacted. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, but despite their efforts, Sadoni could not be revived and was pronounced dead. Parris described the heartbreaking moment, saying, “My baby is gone.”

Boston police were called to an apartment building on Hannon Street near Morton Street, where they found the 4-year-old child in cardiac arrest. Officers quickly initiated an investigation, but details have remained sparse as they work to determine the cause of Sadoni’s death.

In an emotional statement, Parris revealed that her son had bruises on his face, which led her to question what exactly happened in the hours leading up to his death. "My baby is smart and sweet," she said, expressing her deep concern for her child's well-being and the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The loss of such a young life has left the community devastated. Many have rallied behind Genesis Parris as she grapples with the sudden and tragic loss of her son. The family's grief is compounded by the uncertainty surrounding the cause of death, as Parris continues to seek answers about her son’s condition before his collapse.

Boston police have stated that the case is being treated as a criminal investigation. However, as of now, no arrests have been made, and few details have been released about the investigation. Authorities have not disclosed whether foul play is suspected, but the discovery of bruises on Sadoni's face has raised significant concerns about potential abuse or neglect.
