Engaged in an act of physical aggression
According to the Facebook statement, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to a residence on Rock Mill Loop in Georgetown at approximately 5:00 a.m. on September 11 in response to a disturbance in progress. The Facebook post identified Daniel Logan, who, according to the sheriff's office, unlawfully entered his neighbour's residence and assaulted a child with a baseball bat.
The Williamson County Sheriff's Office's Facebook post stated, "After an investigation, detectives concluded that Logan forcibly entered a residence while armed with a baseball bat and attacked two individuals, including a six-year-old child. Both victims were transported to nearby hospitals for medical attention."
Attack using the weapon
The 39-year-old has been charged with two first-degree felonies: injury to a child and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a family member. As local Austin news station Fox-7 reported, Logan purportedly struck his 65-year-old mother, Cynthia Logan, with the bat.
According to online court records, a mental health assessment was ordered for Logan on September 12. In a formal statement, Logan's attorney, Marc Chavez, expressed his sympathy and support for the young boy and his family during this challenging period.
Struggle to sustain his existence
He urged everyone to refrain from passing judgment until all the facts are revealed, particularly as they investigate matters of severe mental illness. Until then, they will continue to hope for the young boy's recovery.
Laila Dabbakeh and Arturo Diaz, the child's father, created a GoFundMe page appealing to members of the Teravista community for assistance in any way possible for Jeremy. This could include monetary donations or volunteering. The fundraiser emphasised that the boy is currently fighting for his life after a horrific attack that has left him in critical condition.

Small boy with a heavy injury
However, by joining forces, they can provide the much-needed ray of hope that he desperately requires. Jeremy is described as a child with intelligence, vitality, aspirations, and potential for a prosperous future.
As stated in the GoFundMe post, the young boy has unfortunately suffered severe injuries and now faces a lengthy and uncertain path to recovery as a result of an unprovoked assault that occurred within his residence.
Donations collected by the organisers
The organisers of the GoFundMe campaign have appealed to the community for assistance in achieving a donation target of $250,000, which will aid in covering the expenses associated with his medical treatment. An update posted on the fundraising platform has indicated that Jeremy remains in critical care yet displays signs of movement in all his limbs and exhibits responsiveness.
In a recent GoFundMe update on Monday, it was expressed that when a child endures such a brutal attack while peacefully resting in the security of their bed within the confines of their home, mere words fail to adequately convey the profound tragedy of the situation.

Awakened by hearing screaming sounds
According to information provided to detectives, Logan's spouse allegedly informed them that she was awakened by loud banging sounds on the morning of the occurrence, as reported by USA Today. Upon discovering her husband's absence, she ventured outside and noticed a breach in the fence separating her residence from the neighbours'.
In the sworn statement, she attested to witnessing shattered glass near the rear patio entrance of the neighbour's abode, followed by purportedly hearing the anguished cries of Jeremy's mother.
As stated in the affidavit, Logan's mother was purportedly drenched in blood and in extreme distress, frantically proclaiming that Daniel was causing harm to all individuals present within the premises.
