A shy schoolboy smiles for a picture that will later be shared on Facebook by his "smitten" mother Agnieska Kalinowska. A month on, the mum posted an announcement that she and her son Sebastian Kalinowski were travelling to the UK.
A comment underneath read: "Good luck!" Less than a year later, Sebastian was dead.
He could never have imagined the horror in store for him as he started his new life in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Sebastian's torture began just three months after his arrival. For the short time Sebastian lived with his mother and stepfather Andrezj Latoszewski, he was treated like an inconvenience and "punished." He was seriously assaulted - kicked, kneed, stamped on, punched, slapped and dragged around, and then forced to carry out exercises. Sebastian was also ordered to sit on a stool and face a wall for hours at a time and was controlled so incessantly, his mother could watch what he was doing at home through an app on her phone.

Most of this abuse was captured on a CCTV system set up by Latoszewski, Yorkshire Live reports. A camera in Sebastian's bedroom captured his heartbreaking plight. Another camera set up in the living room not only shed a light on the assaults and exercises, but steroid user Latoszewski as he strutted around, posing in a mirror, and Kalinowska as she watched TV and ate.
The abuse got too much and on August 13 last year, Sebastian's body, ravaged by sepsis caused by 23 rib fractures, gave in. Kalinowska and Latoszewski denied him the medical treatment he needed by waiting two-and-a-half hours to call the emergency services. By that point, Sebastian was beyond help.
