Father says illness caused mother to harm baby

HARVARD – Isaac Mejia is a healthy 18-month-old, walking, vocalizing, and a little bit shy.

Anyone who didn’t know otherwise would have no idea that his mother is at the McHenry County Jail, charged with attempted murder for allegedly putting a knife down his throat when he was 9 months old.

It’s difficult to understand how a mother could hurt her own child. Claudia Mejia’s husband and Isaac’s father, Osvaldo Mejia, doesn’t completely understand it, either.
