Dominick's mother's whereabouts and actions through all portions of the torture session

"She tried to lay on top of the child to guard the child against being beat any further, but she was beat in the process," according to the police chief. The sequence of events that led to the discovery of the abuse began when Baker's sister and several acquaintances came to the apartment to buy drugs from Hayes, according to Allen. After seeing Dominick's condition, the sister alerted the boy's paternal grandfather, who in turn contacted authorities.
