North Miami Beach mom released from jail as her autistic son, 6, recovers from brutal beating
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Cynthia Hernandez, a North Miami Beach mother, was released from jail Saturday night after posting an $11,500 bond as her 6-year-old autistic son continues to recover from life-threatening injuries.
Hernandez covered her face as she left jail, declining to speak with Local 10 News.
Authorities said her son, Mason, was brutally beaten last week by Hernandez’s boyfriend, 34-year-old Daniel Eduardo Romero.
They said Mason suffered bleeding and swelling in his brain, liver, kidney, as well as spleen lacerations and a broken shoulder. He was unconscious for roughly 30 minutes and was placed in a medically induced coma, but his family said he opened his eyes yesterday, bringing hope to the community.
Police allege Romero, who is not Mason’s biological father, instructed Hernandez, 33, to tell authorities that Mason fell off a bike. Mason went into cardiac arrest and had no pulse when first responders arrived.
Jail records show Hernandez faces charges of child neglect, failing to report child abuse, and providing false information to law enforcement.
Her attorney, Nicolas Torres, disputed the main charges, saying Hernandez acted appropriately once she learned her ex-partner had harmed the child.
“Whenever Ms. Hernandez became aware that it had been her ex-partner who had committed the abuse on the kid, they immediately took the child to the medical center,“ said Torres. ”I believe that would fulfill any requirement of reporting she would have had as it relates to the abuse the child sustained at the hands of the partner.”
A Miami-Dade bond court judge on Saturday ultimately found enough probable cause to move the case forward. More of Hernandez’s attorneys say she is also a victim of Romero and remain confident she will be vindicated.
Records show Romero was arrested on charges of aggravated child abuse, child neglect causing great bodily harm and providing false information to police during an investigation.
Elizabeth Garcia, Mason’s maternal grandmother, who has temporary custody of Hernandez’s other children, shared videos of him opening his eyes and a GoFundMe page has been created to help the family with mounting medical expenses.

Could Miami Dolphins trade up in first round of 2026 NFL Draft?
Jon-Eric Sullivan — new Miami Dolphins general manager — has been busy acquiring a war chest of draft picks for the 2026 NFL Draft. The team currently has 11 picks in April’s selection process — including two first rounders and four third round picks.
While the team has plenty of holes in their roster that desperately need to be filled, could Sullivan’s stockpiling of picks have been conducted with the idea that the Dolphins want to move up in the first round of the draft in order to land an elite prospect?
Yesterday, Washington Commanders beat writer, Josh Taylor, dropped an interesting social media post where he said that he’s heard from two separate sources that the Dolphins and Commanders are in talks about a trade that would see Washington trade back from pick #7 in the first round in order for Miami to move up from pick #11.
Again, with Miami needing to upgrade at so many positions, it’s hard to guess which player the team might be targeting, but safety Caleb Downs, offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, linebacker Sonny Styles, defensive linemen Rueben Bain and David Bailey are just some of the names that the Dolphins could be interested in.
Of course, as Taylor states, these whispers could remain just that — whispers.
With the Dolphins in full-on rebuilding mode, the team needs to bring in as many young, talented players as possible. Trading away draft picks instead of adding more would not help them to accomplish that goal. However, with the 2026 NFL Draft kicking off in less than a month, we won’t have to wait long to discover what Sullivan’s ultimate plan for his first draft as Dolphins general manager ultimately ends up being.

Jannik Sinner’s Girlfriend Laila Hasanovic Stuns in Skirt Before Miami Open Final
Jannik Sinner, who is currently the world’s No. 2-ranked player, according to the ATP, faces off against Czechia’s Jiri Lehecka (who is ranked No. 22 in the world) in the final of the 2026 Miami Open on March 29.
This is surely the biggest match of Lehecka’s career to this point. He had won several ATP tournaments (including the 2024 Adelaide International and the 2025 Brisbane International), but neither of those came against an opponent of Sinner’s caliber. Therefore, this win would mean more for Lehecka than any of his past tournament victories.
As for Sinner, this is just another Sunday on the court. He already won the Indian Wells Open earlier this month, and a win against Lehecka would be his 26th ATP Title. Still, that doesn’t mean Sinner isn’t hungry for another win to add to his staggering resumé and perhaps overtake Carlos Alcaraz for the world’s No. 1 spot.
While Lehecka will have his girlfriend, Lucka Neumannova (aka Lucie), in the stands showing him support on Sunday, Sinner’s girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, appears to be back in her home country of Denmark.
Sinner and Hasanovic have been together at least since the summer of 2025. Before that, Hasanovic (who is a model and fashion influencer) dated Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher for at least three years, but the couple split up in the spring of 2025.
She is clearly busy with her own career in Copenhagen right now and isn’t able to attend Sinner’s matches while he’s playing in America. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t finding the time to show him support, albeit not in person.
Laila Hasanovic Catches Eyes with Outfit Before Jannik Sinner’s Miami Open Final Match
Hasanovic has been active on social media throughout Sinner’s Miami Open run. This was the case once again before his match against Lehecka, as she made a March 28 Instagram post that was captioned, “🫀”.
The post shows various scenes from Hasanovic’s recent events in Denmark. The fourth photo shows her in an eye-catching skirt and a black shirt. Among the other notable photos show her in two different types of black jackets, and the first photo features a nice checkered coat.
One would imagine that Hasanovic will be locked in when Sinner takes the court on Sunday, hoping to secure his secong tournament victory of 2026 and perhaps reclaim the world’s No. 1 ranking.
