He had a custody agreement in place. Some mothers keep their children away from father's for a reason. Let's stop acting like every woman is a bitter baby mother. Sometimes there's a good reason

My heart hurts. This isn't how its supposed to be. Im so sorry that you died in the hands of the one that is supposed to protect you. Rest easy sweet child.
Dad is a baby murderer and a pedo. Having babies with underage girls and then killing them is sick. Bring back the death penalty!
@CitizenUser1113049023 wym why didn’t the mom look after him? do not place blame on her.. she did look after him. this was court ordered visitation, father had him and never brought him back. that’s when the mother seeked help and the nypd refused to help her
Exactly. This is heart breaking. RIP little Angel.
