Missing baby's sister left unable to speak, walk after ‘abuse’: Report

() New details have emerged about the injuries a missing baby’s sister suffered years before the baby disappeared.

According to journalist Abby Escobar, the sister of the missing 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro suffered severe injuries at just 10 weeks old, leaving her unable to see, speak, or walk.

Emmanuel disappeared on August 14. His mother reported to the police that a stranger knocked her out while she was changing his diaper in a Big 5 Sporting Goods store parking lot in Yucaipa and took him away.

Warrants have been issued for cellphones belonging to Emmanuel’s parents, Rebecca and Jake Haro, as deputies continue their search for him.

Escobar, known as “Abby Blabby,” shared on “Banfield” that Emmanuel’s sister, Promise, who is the daughter of Jake Haro from another marriage and is currently 7 years old, suffered injuries so severe as an infant that she was “almost killed.”

Escobar spoke with Promise’s adoptive mom, a cousin of Jake’s ex-wife. She renamed the girl Promise Faith.

“Doctors were not optimistic about her survival, predicting she might not last a week after the incident,” Escobar explained. “But the family has done everything to keep her alive and support her.”

“She is unable to walk, talk, or see, which is just devastating. Yet, her mother describes Promise as a miracle baby because it’s astonishing she survived such trauma at just 10 weeks old.”

In 2018, Jake Haro admitted to charges of willful child cruelty after Promise was hospitalized with broken bones, as reported by the Orange County Register.

Per the Daily Breeze, an affidavit citing comments from doctors at Loma Linda University Medical Center found Promise had “an ‘acute’ fractured rib, ‘healing’ fractures of six ribs, a skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage, swelling of the neck and a ‘healing’ fractured leg bone.”

An officer wrote, quoting a doctor, “The combination of the above findings in a pre-mobile infant, in the absence of a plausible history of significant trauma to explain the injuries, is indicative of abuse (sic) head trauma, child physical abuse and nutritional neglect.”

The outlet also reported Jake Haro told police his sister opened his iPad to a webpage that read “How to feed a baby with broken ribs.” He denied to the officer that he’d used the iPad at the time of the search, which occurred before Promise arrived at the hospital in 2018.

“She feels that justice wasn’t served the first time,” Escobar said of Promise’s adoptive mom. “She said that when she first heard the news story, it just broke her to pieces.

“She immediately had a feeling, as I feel most people have. I mean, the story just doesn’t really make them very much sense.”

Police say Rebecca Haro declined to be interviewed further when they questioned inconsistencies in the story about Emmanuel’s disappearance, and that detectives haven’t been able to rule out foul play.

Jake Haro’s attorney told “Banfield” on Tuesday that he wants to cooperate with police and has handed over all his electronic devices and passwords.
