The extraordinary beginnings of Jakai Newton

What happened on his first Halloween wasn’t expected.

Jakai Newton was five months old when his father Brandon Newton took him and his cousins trick or treating. Brandon held young Jakai in his arms as they went from house to house.

Sometime during that evening, they arrived at a moment Brandon won’t forget. After knocking on the door and yelling “trick or treat,” a man emerged from the doorway with a container of candy.

Out of nowhere, Jakai, who was still being held by his father, snatched two handfuls of sweets, gripping them between his tiny fingers.
