At least they drained the pool this time!

Missing Georgia toddler's mom told police she thought son had been taken: report

The mother of a 20-month-old missing for nearly a week reportedly told police dispatchers she thought her son had been taken after she woke up to find the door open.

Missing Georgia toddler's mom told police she thought son had been taken: report​

The mother of a 20-month-old boy who was said to have vanished from his family’s Georgia home nearly a week ago told police she woke up to find the child gone – and thought someone might have taken him, according to a local report.

Details of a dispatch call obtained by local news station WJCL shed light on the moments the mother reported her son missing.

"Complainant advised her 1-year-old son is missing," the dispatcher could be heard saying, according to the report. "She woke up, her door was open. Advised he's unable to open a door. Thinks someone came in and took him."

Hadley would not comment whether Quinton’s parents were cooperating with police or if they have retained an attorney.


Ted Williams, a longtime homicide detective-turned-renowned attorney, said detectives are likely working on piecing together "what happened between 6 a.m. that morning" and when the child’s mother reported him missing.

"And what led her at 9:40, other than the fact that her door was open, to believe that someone had taken Quinton?" he went on. "The authorities are backtracking. They’re trying to get as much information."

He added: "I can tell you it’s highly unusual, but it does happen, where a child is sleeping in a home and all of the sudden the door is open and a 20-month-old child is no longer there … It happens, but this is rare."

This one has a piece of the clip of the grandma storming in/at the sitter's home. Sitter said they have cameras and that all texts etc. between them and her she has a total ecord of too. I gather there is a full video of it of a few minutes but I haven't seen it. News Nation also says LE says they have evidence that will move this case forward now. Worded a bit different than the above but probably referring to the same LE statement.

I've been reading along and I'm just flat confused about the players in this case. Grandma has custody, but they all live in the same house? Who hired the babysitter then? Grandma?

I hadn't thought about that, but that would make more sense than the mom hiring her. Not sure if mom even worked?

Missing Georgia toddler Quinton Simon likely dead; police name mother as 'prime suspect'

Quinton Simon, who is 20 months old, went missing from his home on Oct. 5. Police said on Wednesday that he was believed to be dead and his mother is the main suspect.

Not a surprise sadly.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Press conference tomorrow.

Lots of scuttlebutt out there and allegedly grandma did a post that he is in a landfill.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah. The lack of memory I've heard about too and the grandma's post.

Convenient lack of memory... If she can't recall then where does the landfill come from?

Video?

 

[GrandmaBear]

Also for some reason it is being said the landfill won't be checked until next Tuesday. That makes NO sense to me.

Logistics of getting a search together and coordinated. They have to have a solid plan, know where to start and get a qualified team together. Let's let them get it right and not waste time and resources.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I've been reading along and I'm just flat confused about the players in this case. Grandma has custody, but they all live in the same house? Who hired the babysitter then? Grandma?

They all lived in the same home. Grandma and her husband. Mom and her bf. Three children, two boys and a baby. Bf is father of new baby not of the other two. And then mom's brother/grandma's son stayed there sometimes.

BF worked. Gma was away on work. Mom supposedly worked, I heard at a liquor store but I also heard she wasn't working since baby born but not sure of all that.

Grandma hired the sitter but apparently mom and bf also paid her as sitter said they often asked for part of payment back with stories of needing formula, etc.

Grandma had custody of the two boys only, not the baby allegedly. It is anyone's guess whether the kids were legally allowed to be in the mom's care or not...

I had the same thought but I'd at least be ensuring if possible nothing more is dumped in the area that they figure this neighborhood's things that day were dumped. And I also think they would be securing the area. And maybe they are doing such, no idea.

I will say though when time matters, bureaucracy and procedures always slows things down. I'm not saying he is alive but further decomposition, animals, etc. and more garbage dumped could make recovery harder or impossible. It seems more often than not, landfill searches aren't successful. We've seen a few.
