Bodycam: ‘Sickly’ 8-Year-Old Beaten, Starved to Death by Parents in ‘Deplorable’ Illinois Home

In a heart-wrenching incident that shocked the community, Illinois police responded to a distressing 911 call in March 2022 from parents who reported that their 8-year-old son, Navin Jones, was found "cold" and "lifeless" in his room. Bodycam footage captured the moment when Peoria police officers arrived at the scene and made a chilling discovery: a note attached to Navin's bedroom door that read, "Don't give Navin any food or drink. Do not let him out of the room." The officers immediately realized the gravity of the situation and rushed the unresponsive child to the hospital, where he tragically passed away despite medical intervention.

The devastating case took a shocking turn when it was revealed that Navin's parents, Brandon Walker and Stephanie Jones, were allegedly involved in the circumstances leading to their son's untimely death. Stephanie Jones has since pleaded guilty to charges related to the incident and has agreed to testify against Brandon Walker, who now faces trial for his alleged role in the tragedy. The Law&Crime Network's Sierra Gillespie delves into the disturbing details of the case, exploring the events that unfolded on that fateful day and the legal proceedings that followed.

Boy, those 2 parents sure don’t look malnourished!😡🤬

[shootem]

I dont understand how anyone could do this to a child, much less your own child. Rest in peace, buddy.

[bondeappetite]

Parents obese but child starved. Evil beyond words. Poor little boy 😢

[chrispitre]

Those tears from the mother are a joke. They are not for her child, they are for her consequences. It's disgusting what she allowed to happen to her innocent child. We need to think about high mandatory sentencing for crimes against children. Do whatever possible to deter these deplorable humans from treating their children this way.

[erikr]

Shocking that the kid was malnourished, because judging by the parents, there was plenty of food in the house.

[HELLINA-HANDBASKET]

That was the least authentic reaction to being told your child is deceased I have ever seen

[officialduckburgartgallery]

She get 20 years in prison with free food and shelter because she starved her son to death ! Something isn’t fair about this

[fionamackie]

I lost a lot of weight when my ex left me with three little kids, one of whom has special needs. He commented on my weight loss, and I said that's what happens when you don't get to eat.
I ALWAYS fed my kids first, and sometimes I went without.
My kids are all adults now, but I did and still would do anything to help them.
Those first 'parents' are deplorable.

[onpmkme]

Those two parents deserve everything coming there way, that 8 year old boy looked like an angel may he rest in peace 🙏 I had to shed a few tears and hug my kids tight after seeing this..

[alvaroescobar]

My kids, I have 4 of them. I grew up extremely poor and so did my wife. We vouched never to let them go hungry like we did. I just can’t fathom these parents letting a child starve. It breaks my heart

[JudelovesRiver]

“His behavior was not normal.”
Who says that about their son who was just pronounced dead?
That’s very telling..

[cheyennetapiasmith]

That mother is NOT DISTRAUGHT! She's concerned about going to jail.

[catherinegallagher]

The fact they are pretending to be upset is just ludicrous when they know they done this Nd it’s an absolute insult to anyone whom lost there children to these type of killings

[katiefair]

The fact that the kid was emaciated and starving while the parents are overweight and even go out and spend money on cigarettes but won’t feed the kid is horrifying

[countryboundgirl]

She’s certainly not crying for her Son 😢 They’re only concerned for themselves and what’s coming next .

[KronosX]

"Put him in the bathtub to warm him up" . . . . . . . Aside from the whole situation being disgusting, how could someone be so unintelligent and careless

[tiaariss]

Hurting a child, an innocent child. My heart hurts

[alliecr]

Her lack of reaction and how calm she was when the cops came is a huge indicator of how she really felt about her son. If I found my son unresponsive and they were unable to resuscitate him I would be hysterical. Like uncontrollably crying, guttural screaming in horror. I don’t think I would ever get over it.

[panelvanhalen]

The parents pretending to care about the child passing away is just mind blowing

[pennygreene]

The last part when the mom of the child said his behavior was not normal mad me so mad. I mean of course his behavior isn't gonna be normal he had abusive parents that literally was starving him to death and not taking care of him. I think it's horrible that the mother didn't take responsibility and was literally blaming it on the child's behavior
