A grandmother has revealed that a young child was kept out of school to hide severe injuries, raising concerns about suspected abuse. The disclosure comes after authorities were reportedly alerted to the situation, though details on how the case unfolded remain limited. The child’s family has faced scrutiny over their decision to withdraw the student from public education amid signs of harm. Investigators are now examining whether proper safeguards were in place to protect vulnerable children.
Maya Thomas, 9, was homeschooled “because they didn’t want anybody to see the bruises,” her maternal grandmother Lynn Miller told the outlet Thursday.
