Disturbing details unveiled in the death of 10-year-old Malayshia Alford

New court records shift NBC10 Philadelphia's coverage of a child's death from the arraignment to the evidence investigators have assembled, and the safeguards an attorney says need scrutiny.

Matt DeLucia's report describes witness accounts of repeated abuse and autopsy findings of blunt-force trauma and multiple fractures. The child had been found dead in a car in South Jersey after being reported missing. The report presents the abuse accounts as allegations contained in the investigation.

Nadeem Bezar, an attorney representing the child's estate, puts the focus on the protections intended to keep children safe in foster care. "The system is designed to have protections in place," he says. He promises to investigate what happened, making accountability beyond the criminal proceedings a central question of the report.

The upload drew nearly 100,000 views in less than a day, far beyond the station's usual audience for a regular video. That attention accompanies a further development in NBC10's coverage: a separate report follows a community walk in Philadelphia demanding accountability after the child's death.
