The stepmother of a 16-year-old Pomona boy has been charged with murder in the teenager’s death earlier this week, and the boy’s father is facing a charge of felony child abuse, police said Thursday.
Jessica Grajeda, 35, is suspected of assaulting the teen just before officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Del Rosa Place about a person needing CPR just after 12 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Pomona Police Department. The victim was not breathing when officers and first responders arrived, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The boy’s 32-year-old father, George Luis Almaraz, is accused of not putting a stop to abuse by Grajeda or seeking medical attention for the teen — even though he was aware of the repeated abuse, police said. The teen had received significant injuries from physical abuse at the hands of Grajeda in the past, according to police.
Both parents have been taken into custody, police said.
Authorities found five other children inside the home, who range from ages 1 to 13, police said. They were all taken into protective custody and turned over to the Department of Children and Family Services. Police said it does not appear any other children were being physically abused.

i grew up in Pomona went to Pomona unified schools from kindergarten till ninth grade...what is wrong here is a culture that says you can do whatever you want to our kid or not do whatever
doubt either gets major jail time which is part of the problem!

Barbarians.
A 32 year old father whose 16 year old son is now dead. Anyone see a problem here?
OMG what a lovely couple, thank God the other kids are now safe from these two!!
Execute both of them.
You can bet WE are already paying for these six kids!!!
If I had a step other with a beard, she would not be able to kill me. I would be gone!
Demonic.
Prayers up.
If I had a step mother with a beard, she would not be able to kill me. I would be gone!
A beard was my first impression also, but I think it's a tattoo on her neck.
Not that that's any less reason to get the heck outta there!
Yeah, maybe. The eyebrows are tattoos. That’s kinky enough
SPJNK.
I am thinking that the murdered boy could have been a “special needs” child...Maybe autistic?
Would a “normal” 16 year old boy just sit and do nothing while his mother physically abuses him? Maybe he would tell the mother to keep her hands off him...
In any case, it is a sad story...
Did you go to Garey High School? While driving through Pomona, I did notice the school on Garey Ave...
