A mother takes her baby to England for a better life, but instead he ends up in a "ghost story" when his sister's diabolical boyfriend makes him the target of abuse. The couple posts photos of Santino's injuries online, blaming ghosts in their apartment.  While people see the photos, no one reports the abuse to police or a child welfare agency.
