Relatives of Jahmeik Modlin, including his grandmother, gathered in Harlem Saturday to honor his life. Prosecutors allege the four-year-old boy was starved to death by his parents.

“If we are a community, we need to embrace each other in our pain,” the Rev. Al Sharpton said at his National Action Network Headquarters.

Rev. Sharpton walked hand-in-hand with Jahmeik’s family members, from the NAN to the Harlem apartment where Jahmeik was found unconscious and unresponsive earlier this week.

The group gathered there with community leaders and advocates against domestic abuse to pray and lay a wreath.

Prosecutors say fresh food was found inside the home. However, the refrigerator was turned to the wall, and the cabinets were secured with child safety locks.

Stephanie McGraw runs a Harlem nonprofit helping women and children survivors of domestic violence. She believes Jahmeik’s death is a wake-up call for community members.

“Together we can stand and come together, support this family, and let the community know if you’re in distress reach out to us, we’re here, we have services that can help you,” McGraw said. “But we have an opportunity now, to take this tragic moment and hopefully we can save another life and prevent this from happening.”

The DA’s office says Jahmeik’s three siblings are so malnourished they’re now on a liquid diet and cannot eat solid foods. Some community members are concerned about the kids’ safety.

“I just hope the other siblings find either family [members to stay with], or another family that’s willing to take them in,” Doug Arnold, a longtime Harlem resident, said. “Because that’s just out of control, that’s out of control.”

Arnold said he’s still in disbelief over the tragic death, saying “food shouldn’t be something taken away from a child.”

As the community continues to lean on one another, Rev. Sharpton has offered to pay for Jahmeik’s funeral.

“I don’t know what happened, but I know this young boy did not deserve to starve to death,” he said. “But I know that he is going to have a decent funeral and a decent burial. And we are going to fight for his grandmother to be able to stand with her head held high.”

Jahmeik’s mother, Nytavia Ragsdale, 26, and father, Laron Modlin, 25, were arrested earlier this week. They’re facing charges, including criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child.
