Staten Island, NY – I really hope Jaquan Porter had a great Christmas this year, because he isn’t getting another one. On Friday, December 26, ten-year-old Jaquan was beaten to death by his mother. Melissa Sekulski, who turned 30 on the day she killed her son, slammed Jaquan’s head into a wall so hard that the child died without ever getting up off the floor where he fell.
Jaquan was morbidly obese – at ten, he weighed some 250 pounds. Melissa Sekulski fed her son large amounts of junk food and kept him indoors so often that many of her neighbors didn’t know she had a child. One neighbor said he saw Sekulski “in and out” of her apartment all the time – but never laid eyes on Jaquan until he was lying dead on the floor.
On Friday evening, Melissa Sekuski ran screaming out of her apartment and into her neighbor J.R. Moore, who went inside to try to revive Jaquan, who by that time was not breathing.
“He was just laid out on the floor, lifeless,” said Moore, who said the boy was stretched out on a blanket and dressed in sweatpants and a T-shirt. “I thought he was too overweight and needed to be on a diet. The way he was laying there I knew something was wrong.” So Moore called 911 and an ambulance came, but it was too late. Jaquan Porter was pronounced dead on arrival at Richmond University Medical Center.
When police interviewed Sekulski, they found a rather unrepentant woman who said that yes, she’d hit her son. In fact, she readily admitted to beating Jaquan with some regularity over the past three years. Sometimes she hit him with belts and left buckle marks and bruises. Other times she heated up a spoon and burned him with it, over and over again. In fact, Sekulski was due in court on December 31 for a domestic violence charge involving her abuse of the boy.
And yet it appears that Jaquan was never removed from his mother’s care. Child Protective Services is “investigating” to determine whether they’ve ever had any involvement with Sekulski or Jaquan at all. Nevermind the criminal case, I guess.
And then, as if to say “screw you, fat kid,” prosecutors chose not to file first or even second-degree murder charges against Melissa Sekulski. Instead, she is charged with manslaughter for “unintentionally” killing her child during what seems to be considered just a routine child-beating. Apparently, if you’re gonna kill your kid, New York is the place to do it.
Melissa Sekulski was arraigned yesterday on the manslaughter charge and will be in court again today on the previous domestic violence case. She is currently being held without bail.
