THE half sister of a missing seven-month-old reportedly suffered serious injuries at the hands of her parents years before the baby’s disappearance.

Authorities have been on the lookout for Emmanuel Haro ever since he was declared missing on August 14, and now there is emerging information about his family’s history.

At ten weeks old, Promise, Emmanuel’s half sister, suffered traumatic injuries.

The baby was taken to the hospital with severe injuries, including an acute rib fracture, healing fractures on six other ribs, a skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage, neck swelling, and a healing fracture in a leg bone, as reported by the Daily Breeze.

Investigators suspected that the injuries Promise had were sufficient evidence of abuse.

“The combination of all these findings in an infant who is not yet mobile, and lacking a plausible account of significant trauma to justify the injuries, suggests abusive head trauma, child physical abuse, and nutritional neglect,” an officer noted in an affidavit requesting an arrest warrant, as reported by KTLA.

According to KTLA, Haro reportedly blamed the injuries on his wife. Both were arrested and pleaded guilty to willful child cruelty in 2023.  

Haro initially informed the police that he accidentally dropped the baby on the kitchen sink’s center divider, but officers indicated that his explanation did not match the nature of the injuries, as reported by the LA Times.

“They have done everything they can for this little girl to keep her going,” journalist Abbey Escobar said after speaking with Promise’s adopted mom.

“But, I mean, she said that Promise is her miracle baby, and really she is. It’s amazing that she survived that at 10 weeks old.”

Escobar reported that Promise’s adoptive mom believed that “justice wasn’t served the first time.”

Promise’s adoptive mom reportedly said she was “broken to pieces” when she found out that Emmanuel was missing.

“She said that when she first heard the news story, it just broke her to pieces,” Escobar said.

“She immediately had a feeling, as I feel most people have.

“I mean, the story just doesn’t really make them very much sense.”

According to Vincent Hughes, Jake Haro’s lawyer in another matter, Jake has been cooperating with law enforcement concerning the disappearance of Emmanuel.

UNDER INVESTIGATION

The disappearance of Emmanuel Haro

CALIFORNIA cops are probing the disappearance of missing baby Emmanuel Haro. The U.S. Sun breaks down the timeline surrounding his disappearance.

August 14: Emmanuel’s mom, Rebecca, reports him missing. She claimed she was attacked near a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa.

August 15: San Bernardino cops issue a statement, saying the search for Emmanuel is ongoing. They reveal that he has not been found.

August 16: Cops say they cannot rule out foul play.

August 17: Police visit the Haro family home.

August 18: Authorities announced that they have conducted thorough searches in the Yucaipa and Cabazon regions. They also disclosed that they have analyzed a substantial amount of surveillance video. 

August 19: San Bernardino cops probe an alleged sighting of Emmanuel. Police have also seized a car belonging to Emmanuel’s dad, Jake.

Emmanuel’s alleged kidnapping first happened in San Bernardino County, California, when his mother, Rebecca Haro, went to change his diaper.

Rebecca said she was on her way to buy a football mouthguard for her older son when the attack occurred. 

“I came over here and parked right on the edge,” Haro told NewsNation

“When I was driving over, I smelled the baby had went to the restroom, so I said, ‘Don’t worry, we are going to change you.’”  

She claimed that as she laid the baby down, she heard a stranger’s voice and was then attacked.

“I was going to get the diaper and somebody said, ‘Hola,’ and I don’t remember anything since,” she said. 

“I woke up here on the floor, and I didn’t see Emmanuel.” 

However, police are still investigating Rebecca Haro after finding “inconsistencies” in her story. 

Last week, after Emmanuel’s disappearance, police removed an unnamed 2-year-old child from the family’s home.
