The lifelong abuse that that little Bryan suffered is horrifying. How was his mother allowed to have custody of him, or of any children. For that matter, why was she never in prison for child abuse? Those of you who are following the Emmanuel Haro case will recognize that the injuries that Bryan received at three months old, are almost identical to the injuries that Emmanuel's 10-week old half-sister received at the hands of their father. Those of us following Emmanuel's case have been astonished that the father didn't receive a prison sentence, and served only 1 day in jail + 179 days in a work release program. He went on to father 2 more children and is now charged with Emmanuel's murder. Bryan's mother was sentenced to a 5-year prison sentence, but received probation. She has had 3 more children since then, and her youngest is only 4-weeks old.

According to a report from
The New Orleans Advocate/Times-Picayune, the Department of Children and Family Services responded in 2021 to a call from Bryan’s school reporting bruises to his inner thigh and face. The 2021 states that Bryan had an individualized education plan at school because of a "traumatic brain injury (non-accidental)."
Police reports obtained by the newspaper show that Bryan’s mother called an ambulance in late 2013 and said her 3-month-old baby had stopped breathing and was vomiting blood and milk. Bryan arrived at the emergency room with a damaged lung, retinal hemorrhages, fractures in both legs that caused his ankles to bend outward, and a skull fracture with swelling.

Bryan was placed in foster care and was later given back to his mother, but reports of abuse continued. The 2021 DCFS report said he had bruises on his face and inner thigh and had tapeworms at least twice.

Court documents state that Hilda Vasquez was unable to explain how her son’s injuries occurred. One record noted that, prior to the hospital visit, she and her boyfriend were watching television when the baby began screaming as if "someone was squeezing him."

Hilda Vasquez was sentenced to five years in prison for child abuse, but later received probation. Before her guilty plea, court records suggested that supervised visits with her son would be in his best interest. However, it appears she eventually regained custody of the child.
Court records also show an arrest for a probation violation in 2017.
