This is a photo of Daniel Pelka—the four-year-old boy who was starved and beaten to death in Coventry, UK. His mother and stepfather were sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison for his murder. Daniel was abused and tortured in the months before his death and he had been beaten and left to die in an unheated cell-like room. AP Photo
