This child never had a chance!!
__
A New Mexico man has been charged with murdering his 9-year-old stepson, who was found beaten to death months after placing a desperate 911 call.
The child, Omaree Varela, called 911 from his Albuquerque home six months before his death, hoping to alert authorities to what investigators are now saying were drug-addicted, abusive parents, KOAT first reported.
The call, placed in June 2013, was made available in February by police. In the chilling audio, Varela's mother, Synthia Varela-Casaus, and the boy's stepfather, Steve Casaus, can be heard hurling verbal abuse at the child, unaware that a 911 dispatcher is listening in.

Despite the dispatcher telling the officers that they should listen to the disturbing phone call before arriving, the officers never did. According to police logs, the officers said they were questioning the parents for two hours, but the lapel camera shows that the officers were there for only 15 minutes.
"They did not write a report in this case," Banks told KOAT. "[An officer] says, 'I'll call CYFD,' but he never called CYFD."
