    The boy’s mother called for help at around 7:40 p.m. on Sunday after she claimed she discovered her kid unconscious and unresponsive in their apartment just off Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., police and law enforcement sources told The Post.

    When the child was taken to the hospital, medical staff found the burn mark, and also determined he was suffering from malnourishment and hypothermia, sources said.

    Jahmeik had three siblings under 8 years old, cops said, but they didn’t appear to be home when their brother was rushed to the hospital.

    There have been previous “domestic incident reports” inside the apartment where the boy was found, police said, but it’s unclear what they entailed.
