According to the couple, they returned home in March to
find their son screaming and the babysitter - (who was a friend to the
father of the boy) fast asleep. Jacob was covered in bruises with one
shaped like a hand print on his face.
They reported the incident to police the next morning but two months later, no criminal charges was filed and they felt the authorities had let them down.
Jacob's father then took to Facebook to vent about what he believed to be a previous court ruling stopping his son's alleged abuser from being charged - a 2012 ruling in the Oregon Court of Appeals which prosecutors say make it harder to file charges in cases of abuse where the victims can't speak.
The father then posted pictures of Jacob in the bath with
extensive bruising on his face and thousands of people shared the
heartbreaking photos across social media.
Although his bruises have now
healed, his mum says the incident has changed her son and she is terrified
of leaving him alone with anyone.
