Update on Kamauri 2/8/24 by Katie Maddox

We just left a hospital visit with Kamauri…and I’ll be honest, we needed to see this tonight. Kamauri has been moved from ICU to a Pediactric Neuro Floor.

We walked in tonight with Kamauri’s friend, mentor, and former basketball coach who made the trip with us tonight…and Kamauri immediately lifted his arm and hand to handshake with him❤️

He smiled when he was told a basketball teammate was talking trash on the court, his eyes got huge when he was told someone brought him a basketball as a gift, he was fist bumping the visitors and nurses and gave thumbs up as an answer to questions- APPROPRIATELY!!!

He gave permission by giving us this thumbs up attached, to show all of you that he is fighting and he is there! His raod will still be long…he needs prayers continuously for complete healing and recovery, for no infections to arise, and wisdom for his medical team.

Seeing him progress doesn’t mean we stop, it means we ramp it up and show him what his community can do, and most importantly allow him to see what his God can do through the power of prayer❤️

What an amazing thing to be able to support Kamauri and Chari (his dad) in the toughest time of their lives. Keep showing them love- you all have been amazing!!!

🚨 Laura Forczyk Arrested Again After Recently Regaining Access to Children; 1-year-old Drowns🚨Laura Forczyk, who was arrested again yesterday after recently being granted renewed access to her children by the court. According to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation, officers responded yesterday after her one year old was found unresponsive in a backyard pool. The child was pulled from the water by officers and CPR was performed before being transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital. The doctor there reports that miraculously the child was awake and alert.This latest arrest comes while a prior criminal case against both Laura Forczyk and her husband, Nathan Forczyk, remains active in Brevard County.According to Palm Bay Police and court records, the couple was originally arrested in September 2025 after officers responding alongside the Department of Children and Families discovered multiple children allegedly locked inside separate bedrooms without access to food, water, containing only a child-sized potty training toilet. They have 6 children with one on the way.Investigators reported the home was in severe disrepair, with exposed electrical wiring and strong odors of urine and feces throughout the residence. Police said the living conditions were unsafe and hazardous to the children’s health. Both parents were charged with multiple counts of felony child neglect, and the case is still pending in court.Court filings later show bond conditions were modified, allowing Laura Forczyk contact with the children again earlier this month.According to police, all children are currently in DCF custody.The new arrest comes as the family has also been raising thousands of dollars through an online GoFundMe fundraiser that does not reference the pending criminal case or prior arrests.The investigation remains ongoing.Should courts reconsider reunification decisions in cases involving prior neglect allegations?Should donors be informed when active criminal cases exist?Share your thoughts. ...
