It sounded that way or likely that way in the papers filed yep. I also believe however the bf probably knew it as well. I think there are at least three here who should be worried, not sure about the stepgrandpa, he likely had no idea bf left them with mom and called off sitter. And may not have any part in the custody or care so he may be safe from possible charges but the other three I don't think are.

I am sure the bf knew, too. They all knew BUT IMO the grandma shouldn't get off easy on this particular one. No. I am not saying bio mom is off the hook. If she killed him, she gets the penalty for it. Gma, however has partial blame for this being allowed to happen. BF didn't have custody of these boys, gma did. It would be the same if a bio parent allowed somebody around their child that wasn't supposed to be around them and something happened. There was a reason why the person wasn't supposed to be with them and the person in charge of the child didn't seem to care. That deserves "something" as in neglect or similar.

Negligence due to inadequate supervision?

But if the bf knew the kids were not to be with her and NORMALLY the baby went to the sitter too then I think he is in an iffy spot. Was she allowed to watch the baby?? Seems to me I heard she tested positive for coke with the baby too. So if he called off the sitter for all three and the baby was also supposed to be under his care or a sitter.... Well then...

But yah, mom first and grandma next are pretty clearly guilty of wrongdoing (allegedly of course).

he did not have custody nor were they his. Yes, I guarantee he knew, but unless he actually had anything to do with the child disappearing, then they were not his responsibility. Now, if he had knowledge and or action in it, then definitely he should be held accountable. I want to know what he knew when he called the sitter before I cast this onto him this time. I'm fairly certain he is in this deep though.

I'm not saying either that anything is a fact but he is not off the hook in my book. There IS a chance he gave answers that helped narrow in on the mom and what happened and his involvement after or during (if any).

He may not have been responsible for the boys but I'm not so sure he was to leave Skye with her either. I'm not sure if cops have verified that he called off the sitter. I know the sitter said so and I believe her. But anyone could have texted on his phone. However, he also didn't want her helping to search the home, etc. either.

No one is off the hook yet in my book but I'm also not saying he did anything. Remains to be seen I guess.

The only way I see him out of it is if he is just one clueless dude. They do exist and that is the only thing that gives him a pass for me. If she lost custody and wasn't supposed to be alone with the other two, how did he trust her alone with his? That's the part that gets me about him from the start.

We found Billie Jo Howell, #QuintonSimon’s grandmother, at the hotel across the street from that beach bar this morning. She told Tybee Island police that I was “starting to annoy” her.

Maybe loose lips will help out. I'm not sure which one of those two I am more angry with in this case.

Best case scenario is she is trying to get her daughter to come clean. Unlikely though.

The grandmother did wrong but I tried in the beginning to cut some slack as I did believe she stepped in even though a difficult situation trying to keep the children with family and for her daughter in hopes she would get it together. I have heard things about the grandmother's history I haven't mentioned and even fairly RECENT history. They are SM type of things but supposedly true and there are court records showing such. Prostitution for one not too many years ago. It is likely a legit job but just asking, have we heard what out of town kind of job grandma was working?

If this bar thing is true, WHY would you do that? With your daughter no less? IN public? Have a drink in your room for God's sake. They should know it is going to be blasted all over.

Are they in a hotel because the home is a crime scene or something? Is mom paying for daughter's room and meals and shots? I mean I thought this daughter couldn't afford a roof over her head, a sitter nor could the bf. Yet she has a lawyer, we see her in a pretty nice decent truck, etc.

Just ticked. They have a LESS than two year old baby boy missing and likely dead!! Or is this their last big party before they figure they will be jailed?

Disgusted. Assuming it's true and it wasn't just dinner. I can't see much on Twitter.

Tybee Island though? Kind of pricey isn't it? A beach destination spot? Not a nice thing to say but it doesn't seem to be their kind of spot.

I couldn't see much though.

Tybee was at least at one point a very touristy beach destination spot, which to me does definitely mean $$. It got hit pretty hard by a hurricane a few years ago, which seems to make things even more expensive after rebuilding.

I saw some time in this past year some video of someone vacationing there and it made me want to check into it (dreaming of course) and I know it is a nice destination. Of course we are past Labor Day etc. and they are more local to the area (not flying there from our states) but still why there...?

Trying not to judge but if I were in the limelight for something bad, the last thing I would do is go out and party at such a place. I have to say though I also heard a YT thing on it and it had the same pic, I have yet to see any evidence of shots or partying. I haven't seen any but not like I've had time to delve.

Where is the prime suspect in disappearance, death of Quinton Simon? On Tybee Island drinking shots

Wednesday marked two weeks since 20-month-old Quinton Simon was last seen at his Savannah home.

www.wjcl.com

Police confirm with WJCL that they were called to the Sandcastle Inn twice over people "exercising their 1st Amendment rights" and shouting towards the hotel.

Police say no arrests were made and no police report was filed.


"We believe he was placed in a specific dumpster at a specific location and it was brought here by regular means of disposal," said Chatham County Police Chief Jeff Hadley.


Leilani Simon was identified back on October 12 as the prime suspect in her son's disappearance and death. But, to date, no criminal charges have been filed.

Authorities say she is not a flight risk.

"We’re not ready to charge anyone yet," Hadley said. "We still have work to do. We still have an investigation to do and we’re not going to do anything pre-emptively that would harm future prosecution."

The search for Quinton's remains continues and is expected to take several days, utilizing dozens of personnel.

[GrandmaBear]

I can't think of one single solitary reason they can say she isn't a flight risk. Her own ex said she talked suicide and it wasn't over this child.

They can surveil her, take her passport, etc. and they can't guarantee that imo. Can't see how they can unless a deal has already been cut which I doubt.

I will say though I have seen no evidence she and grandma were doing shots or drinking. I see a lot of claims of it but I personally have seen no evidence thus far that it is truth.

isn't she on probation? What probation allows alcohol consumption? Seems a good reason to take her in by itself, IF true.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

That and they have enough information to pinpoint a certain area in the landfill. Meaning they have a TIME and PLACE. And if they have that, that's enough for, at the very least, tampering with evidence, concealing death, abuse of dead body....
They may not have enough for a murder charge right now, but they have enough to put her behind bars.

 

[GrandmaBear]

isn't she on probation? What probation allows alcohol consumption? Seems a good reason to take her in by itself, IF true.

I have seen on VERY rare occasion those restrictions not be put on. But with her, as an addict of any kind, hard to believe she wouldn't have them. Why haven't they taken her in? Makes me think of Dylan Rounds where the prime suspect already had an existing warrant. They didn't even need to come up with something related to Dylan but did they arrest him? No.

But again IF true. it is going around YT but I have seen no proof yet they were drinking. Not that I looked at all or watched. Just the same pic and it being shared everywhere that they were allegedly drinking.

I do think it is extremely poor taste when a DUMP is being searched for your baby or grandbaby to be seen out but if they just had to hotel it and had to get food as their only option, that would be a bit understandable but if they were drinking or partying in public, that is extremely poor judgment.
