IF she was in hospice, that means he probably got sent to his mom's before gg's death.

She looks very far into addiction - as in it isn't a new issue, but chronic. Did they not ever do a check on him to see how he was doing? Did they just ship him off to his mom without ever doing anything to see if he was adapting to his new environment? Was this the actual reason why he was reported missing is that they were inquiring?

I don’t understand why he had to go live with her after his grandma died. If she was unfit while grandma was alive, she’s still unfit. He should’ve been put in the state protection. I know it sucks, but at least he would still be alive.

At the very least, they should have had safeguards in place for the first year or so. It sounds like they just threw him to the wolves and hoped she would accept him. She had 10 years to get her act together and it seems like she chose not to.

Grandmother and Jayden were living with Samantha mentioned in obituary. He was taken from Samantha when grandmother died. Samantha had no say in the matter, btw.

But yes, he was thrown to a wolf.

No idea how you found that but great job! That is written very oddly imo, separating out daughters, grandkids, etc. in no rhyme or reason.

Do we know that entire story? There could have been an informal agreement between mom and grandma for one. No legal standing.

I honestly don't know the details--it does seem he should not have been sent to mom but why was he?

Gotcha!

Here's her pretty new mug shot. Ya know, since she didn't want to be on camera early on to help find her son.

She reminds me way too much of Gannon's step monster.

Thought since beginning State is going to be answering some questions here but then I didn't really know it all, still don't and don't read other sources is probably why.

One thing very clear is he was absolutely helpless and no one safe guarded him.

Didn't I read somewhere that she has 6 kids in total. 3 with current partner that possibly lived with them and 3 that did not live with her and we can guess that means taken away from her. I guess the possibly could be living with their bio dad's though, too.

 

[Guess Who]

Uh-huh...sure Felicia. Sure.

 

[RoundPeg]

I'll try to find the link again. He wasn't buried near his grandmother.

Anyway. It's in that article.

 

[Guess Who]

I'm just stumped on how they thought a lady that has 3 kids taken away from her AND with child abuse convictions take custody of a kid she lost and never seemed to get her act together for 10 whole years. It was within that time that she got the child abuse conviction, too.

The kids that lived with them will be the key to what actually happened here, I believe.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Uh-huh...sure Felicia. Sure.

She looks like Letecia Stauch I swear and Gannon was around the same age and she put him through holy he77. I truly did not need to think of the comparison but once I saw it I can't unsee it now.

[RoundPeg]

You know, she dumbly preserved evidence by burying him in a tote I'm thinking. Good for the prosecution.

I was kind of chuckling to myself a bit thinking the same thing.

My main question is exactly how long ago this actually happened. I'm sure the kids will be a huge part of the answers to exactly when and even possibly the actual how.

 

[Guess Who]

I'm positive there will be more serious charges coming very soon.

Ugh! How could anybody think she should have custody of any kids?

 

[Guess Who]

I hope that the 3 kids that lived with them are now in a place where they feel safe, cared for and loved. I hope they are not with their sperm donor that, at the very least, looked away at the abuse, but most likely was involved. Can't wait to see his mug shot.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah let's hope this agency can get it right this time. Let's hope she doesn't have control that needs to be cut off legally,, they were with her for some reason.
