**“SHE’S ABSOLUTELY BROKEN” — DEVASTATING NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE GRANDMOTHER NOW RAISING JAVEAYAH HARRIS’ NEWBORN SISTER**

**Aiken County, South Carolina – July 14, 2026**

A close family friend has just spoken out — and his words are shattering hearts.

“She’s absolutely broken. She’s devastated,” said Justin Singletary, who talks to Javeayah’s paternal grandmother every single day.

This grandmother is living through every parent’s worst nightmare.
She lost her beloved 4-year-old granddaughter in the most horrific way imaginable…
and now, in the middle of that crushing grief, she has suddenly become the only caregiver for the tiny newborn baby girl left behind.

Javeayah Harris — the smiling little girl with the bright eyes — is gone.
Her parents, Johmarea Harris (23) and Michilae Herring (23), are behind bars, charged with **homicide by child abuse**.

Investigators say Javeayah suffered a devastating head injury. Her parents allegedly refused to get her medical help.
Then, in a desperate attempt to hide what they had done, they are accused of using corrosive chemicals to dissolve her small body and pouring the remains into Cedar Creek Reservoir.

Only fragments have been recovered.
Much of her may never be found.

The parents reported her missing on June 30 — weeks after she had already died.
Both now face serious charges with no bond.

While the world demands justice, one woman is quietly falling apart in silence: the grandmother who must now raise a newborn while mourning the granddaughter she adored.

Singletary says she is hurting deeply, yet she is showing up every day for the baby.
The community is rallying around her — collecting diapers, clothes, formula, and anything a new mother needs — because this grandmother is carrying a pain no one should ever have to bear alone.

Hundreds gathered at a candlelight vigil, holding Javeayah’s photo and whispering her name under the flickering lights.
Many called her “our baby.”
Many are still crying for the little girl who never got the chance to grow up.

Right now, a newborn baby girl is sleeping in the arms of a heartbroken grandmother.
A family is trying to heal while the world watches.
And one little girl’s smile refuses to disappear from the hearts of everyone who knew her story.

Javeayah is gone far too soon.
But her memory — and the fight for justice — is only growing stronger.

If you feel moved to help the newborn and her grieving grandmother, baby essentials are desperately needed.

One small act of kindness can make a difference in the middle of so much pain
