A 9-year-old boy, who was a victim of abuse by his father, passed away while in the hospital.

It was a tragic day for Sharon Boocock when her son, Bradley Nelson, passed away on October 22nd at Scarborough General Hospital. He had been in and out of the hospital for the past nine years due to the severe abuse he suffered at the hands of his own father. The incident occurred in April 2016 when Bradley was only seven months old and left him unable to walk, talk, or feed himself.

Despite the constant medical care and support from his mother, Bradley succumbed to his injuries with Sharon by his side. North Yorkshire Police have now reopened the case and are conducting a new investigation into the abuse that Bradley endured.

Sharon fondly remembers her son as a happy and smiling child, even during the difficult times before his death. However, she has been facing financial struggles as she tries to arrange for Bradley's funeral costs. A close friend of Sharon's has set up a GoFundMe page, which has raised over £2,700 so far.

Sharon recalls the day when she found Bradley unresponsive and immediately began performing CPR before an ambulance arrived. It was then that the doctors discovered the extent of his injuries and informed Sharon that it was a case of physical abuse. She was shocked and had trouble believing that her son had been a victim of such cruelty.

The person responsible for Bradley's condition was his own father, Darren Spreadbury. On April 6th, 2016, he informed Sharon that Bradley had stopped breathing. Darren was later charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was sentenced to four years in prison with a 10-year restraining order at York Crown Court on May 25th, 2018.

Medical reports revealed the severity of Bradley's injuries, including 300ml of blood between his brain and skull and a snapped optic nerve, which left him blind. He also developed cerebral palsy and epilepsy as a result of the abuse. Due to his condition, Bradley required round-the-clock care and underwent a PEG surgery to insert a feeding tube into his stomach.

Sharon has been struggling to come to terms with the loss of her son and the pain he endured during his short life. She is now determined to seek justice for Bradley and raise awareness about child abuse.
