On April 25, 2024, 10-year-old Dakota Levi Stevens was rushed to the hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana, unresponsive. He was placed on life support, but his brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long, and after two days, Levi died. His foster mother, Jennifer Lee Wilson, admitted to police that in an attempt to control his behavior, she had laid her 341-pound body on top of the 91-pound boy. Surveillance camera footage proved that Levi lay motionless under Jennifer for over eight minutes before she moved, asking if he was faking.
This is the story of a joyful, creative, lively little boy who loved Pokemon, Minecraft, bugs, and his little sister. It’s also the story of a broken-hearted family who wanted only to protect Levi but weren’t given the chance by a state system that has failed far too many children.
This is part one of the heart-wrenching story of Dakota Levi Stevens.
