Baker, who was on TV news appealing for her son’s return, had a black eye.
Curry confirmed the mother was beaten, but said police don’t know the identity of the culprit.
Brenda Lloyd, Baker’s mother, said she received a call Tuesday afternoon from a Loyola University Medical Center social worker who told her there was an emergency.
“I started screaming because anytime they tell you to get to the hospital right away you know it’s bad,” Brenda Lloyd said. “She put Lakeshia on the phone and Lakeshia told me ‘Mom they beat me up.’” Lloyd added her daughter said the men punched her, kicked her and struck her with sticks before taking the boy.
After Baker was released from the hospital, she went to the Maywood police station where she was taken in for questioning. She remained there on Wednesday evening, Brenda Lloyd said.
The story about sticks is what sealed it as lies. If 3 thugs are going to kidnap you and steal your kid - they are bringing a weapon and they aren't going to leave you alive to talk.
Tragic, how did she get so beaten up. Looking at the sweet cute face of Bryeon I am not sure how anyone could ever get upset over anything hes every done
:furious:
No news on this...it's so sad. The river is past being swollen, it's way over the banks. The fact that the local media has said nothing today (the early evening news here is at 9 on WGN) is making me lose any hope....I'm not sure if the amber alert is still active. Why won't his mother tell the police who really hurt her? This is a missing 1 year old, why isn't the local media all over this? I get that there is huge flooding all throughout the metro area today, but isn't a little boy more important than people's basements flooding?!?
:banghead:
Local media, why can't you pay attention to something so important?
