The Legacy of Baby Cameron
TW: This episode is about the murder of a baby. The descriptions are not explicit and the story is told gently and respectfully alongside his mother, but please note that this episode could be triggering.
In September 2008, new mother Sheree Black dropped her 14-week old baby off to be with his father, but 2 days later, baby Cameron died.
But Sheree, who was just 17-years-old at the time, was told that Cameron had sustained non-accidental injuries and the police discovered that he'd died at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect him. That was the start of her agonising fight for justice.
Today, Sheree wants to tell her story and share the incredible community she has created in her son's name.
This is Real.
