It's estimated that one in 15 children witness some form of domestic violence growing up.

Javian Smith is in that group.

Behind his big eyes and brilliant smile is a 5-year-old boy who witnessed something three years ago that no one of any age should have to see.

His father, Jacquece Forrest, broke into Javian’s home and shot and killed the boy's mother, Jennifer Smith, and her friend. Javian saw it happen.

Before the murders, Smith’s parents knew something was wrong in her relationship with Forrest.
