NEWBURGH, Ind. (WEHT) -- The family belonging to 5-year-old Leo Eslinger has created a GoFundMe for covering Leo's funeral costs and other legal fees.

Originally from Evansville, Leo passed away on New Year's Eve after being hospitalized for brain bleeds and other cuts and bruises.

"Leo did not have to die," Leo's great aunt -- Kristi Held -- said. "Leo could have been placed in care with people that loved him and cared for him and would have made sure he was safe."

With his mother incarcerated, Leo and his siblings went to live with their father in Louisiana, who was arrested for the alleged abuse.
