Grandfather, estranged mother of Hunter Sewejkis recount events of Dec. 7.
The text came in around 6 p.m. that winter day. "Don't freak out, Hunter fell off the couch," it read. Worried, Leanne Garlick immediately called her boyfriend to check on their 4-month-old son. Anthony Sewejkis said Hunter was "OK, but a bit fussy." In reality the boy had sustained near-fatal injuries. Sewejkis was convicted earlier this month on first-degree child abuse charges stemming from the Dec. 7, 2011, event. He is accused of slamming Hunter's head twice against the living room floor of the couple's Canton home and faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced May 25. Garlick has since become estranged from her family and lost custody of Hunter in April, after a judge determined she did not do enough to protect Hunter from abuse …

As 10-month-old Hunter Sewejkis recovers from near-fatal injuries from child abuse under the care of his grandparents, relationships between his mother, Leanne Garlick, and her family are left fractured. The 29-year-old Canton mother lost parental rights to Hunter on April 25 after a judge determined she did not do enough to protect her son from his father, 26-year-old Anthony Sewejkis, who was convicted in the abuse. Garlick now is estranged from her family and legally is not allowed to see Hunter or her parents, who are now in the process of adopting her son. April 23 was the last day Garlick spent with Hunter, on a supervised visit at her parents’ home in Belleville. “I made him a promise that day,” she said. “And told him if it is the …
