Found Deceased GA - Quinton Simon, 1, missing from home, discovered gone by mom, Savannah, 5 Oct 2022

[Cryptic]

If it were me, I would say "Sesame Street pajamas - blue shirt with x character and y character, solid black pants. Pants were z type of fabric (thick like sweats? Thin like t-shirt?)" I don't think there is anything strange about what he was described as wearing or how it was described.

You.... You.....

Caught me thinking too much like me.

My wife and I always referred to both the top and bottom pajamas as "pajamas". An individual part of the set was referred to as a "top" or a "bottom". "Pants" were used for, well, play, school and church pants. They were not interchangeable term wise with pajama bottoms.

But..... just because we used the terms that way, does not, as you illustrated, mean that most people use the terms that way.

Bringing this forward again. Waiting for news which hopefully will come soon:

On Tuesday, the Chatham County Police Department released a statement announcing the potential break in the case. The department, on its Facebook page, wrote:

"We've seized evidence that we believe will help move this case forward & we're now working to analyze the evidence to see where it leads us. We continue to pursue all avenues to bring Quinton home, following all leads and evidence. There will be no further public statements today."

Quinton Simon disappearance: 'Seized evidence' could move case forward

Police in Chatham County say newly obtained evidence may be the thing needed to move the case forward in the disappearance of 20-month-old Quinton Simon.

OCT 11

Short portion of 911 dispatcher's call to police is released. Mom advised that Simon is missing and that her door was open when she woke up. Thinks someone came in and took him.

Sure would like to know if BF actually showed up at work that morning.

And, if BF is still staying in the home.

also i am not sure bloodhounds are synonymous w cadaver dogs/

Good point -- thanks, @cvaldez1975.
I wonder if LE, etc., had both kinds of dogs. If they had both, and a scent was found, seems to me we, through LE or local reporter, might be hearing something soon, let's hope.
OTOH, I do appreciate how this case is being handled -- they probably are trying to do it by the book in order to make sure it is solid.
This case has become one of my "big" ones. SMH.

"Woke up and the door was open"
"Woke up and the baby was missing".

Mmhmm. How many cases have we all followed where mom or dad made this exact same claim?

I don't know if the babysitter in this case would be a mandated reporter because she's not an employee of a daycare facility or any kind of formal/professional child caregiver.

There is a list of who is a mandated reporter in Georgia on this site, under the section called "Who Must Report" - GA Mandated Reporter Information

In my opinion, anyone who is a human being should report a child who is being beaten. There is no excuse for that. It would help if society would stop calling it discipline and say it like it is. It is not okay to assault anyone, especially not a child!

does any neighbors have ring cam that can show if door was open?

i do agree. it is human morality. but i think they just referring to those who are to report by law, as in they will be prosecuted if they dont.

Oh, I fully agree with you. I was just commenting regarding who is or isn't a legally mandated reporter in the state of Georgia.

The house reminds me of the Amityville Horror house (112 Ocean Ave, Amityville, NY?). The shape of it.

I've been thinking this the whole time

We've certainly seen that as a motive before, although I don't recall the mom ever killing a child over child support.

If anything, i think it was more of an impetus? The stress of Leilani knowing they were getting evicted, knowing she was going to start having to pay support on top of whatever was going on to cause gma to evict. Lots of stress makes people snap sometimes and lash out. IMO whatever happened to him was either an accident or rage gone too far - caused by thy snowball effect of everything happening in their lives.

 

[mooseandcoffee]

Factually speaking, the child support she was ordered to pay was affected by her earning status and calculated out to $150/mo, for 2 kids.

They are talking about the grandmother and her husband.. You are talking about the daughter's income.

Maybe the babysitter was worried that if she did call CPS, they would do nothing (like they are known for) and the family would stop using her as a sitter - taking the kids' safehaven with her away? Or maybe she worried the kids might be taken and put in an even worse situation (which is also possible)? Idk, I'm not ready to vilify her over not reporting it and she's probably wishing she had.

 

[Stunned]

In CA they are mandated reporters. I have no idea how it works in GA.

In NC they are mandated. But I seriously doubt she was licensed. I would think just as a human, she would have reported suspected abuse. And NOT just to GM.

Why would they stop using sitter? They kept using mom. IMO

Maybe not, but the child support notice and eviction could definitely trigger anger and frustration. If she was feeling overly stressed and angry, that could have resulted in his death.

 

[Cryptic]

You would hope that a daycare provider would report suspicious marks to the appropriate agency.

Im my state (Texas), daycare workers are trained what to look for, and also informed that informing the State about suspected child abuse is required by law.

My disagreement with you regarding physical disciple aside, I suspect that:

- Making lawful physical discipline into a synonym with child abuse,

Would lead to many people not reporting suspected child abuse as they would not want to subject the parents to ideologically driven "investigations" by social workers.
