No One Took Notice of Raijon Daniels' Life of Torture Until It Was Too Late. Police responded to Teresa Moses 911 call that her son had stopped breathing, they discovered that the family’s Richmond apartment reeked of household cleaner. Duct tape on the sheets and blanket in Raijon’s bedroom, and rope marks on his hands suggested that he was held hostage, bound and locked in his room.  His body covered with chemical and rope burns, sores, and other injuries. The vomit around his mouth suggested that he may have died from swallowing household cleaner or another poison. His mother told police that she poured household cleaner on his genitals to discourage him from urinating on himself.

 

The coroner concluded that Raijon’s death was a homicide, the result of years of physical trauma. Raijon’s body was covered with burns, scars, and bruises consistent with cord or strap injuries. Blood test revealed dangerously high levels of acids, which the coroner believed was the result of starvation. The report listed the cause of death as trauma “due to Battered Child Syndrome.”

 

Teresa Moses was sentenced to 25 years to life for brutally beating, starving and torturing her son  Raijon Daniels. Today, she is free and starting her life anew. The reason for the stunning reversal? Moses, was found not guilty by reason of insanity and confined to a mental hospital where she was determined by her doctors to no longer be a risk to society.
