Something isn't ringing true. When small communities like these react with this much emotion there is more to the story.

Who gives a 10 year old sleeping meds?

Suddenly a group making bags of needs for foster kids?

The community knows. I still ask do we know for a fact Jaden was put with his mother by CPS?

I gotta feeling his grandmother's death fell through the cracks and he was just given back to his convict mom. All my opinion.

The autopsy will tell a story as evidence rolls in.

[…]

Court officials say they’ll both be arraigned in September.

[…]

Kentucky State Police tell us Jayden’s autopsy results should be out in the upcoming weeks, and that will give us a better idea on what he was given prior to his death, and an estimated time of his death.

This document says Jayden was murdered between July 27 and August 6. I wonder if July 27 was the last time anyone saw him.

Sorry I quoted the wrong post.

FG stated to LE that she gave Jayden some type of sleep aid, which she believed caused a medical emergency resulting in his death. So she takes his body to a wooded area off Canoe Road near Joe Little Fork Road in Breathitt County, KY and buried him in a plastic tote.

She’s lived up to her last name. However, as we know she had help! In addition, I dont for one second believe this ridiculous story. Makes no sense. I knew these two losers were involved from the beginning and I look forward to the Commonwealth building a case against them. jmo

According to his aunt who spoke up in SM & MSM, CPS was responsible for placing Jayden with his mother. She stated the prior incident happened 10 years ago & FG was a stay at home mom who had 3 more children who CPS had left in her care. CPS consistently returns children to biological parents who should never be left alone with the children, let alone have custody.

First responders from across Kentucky will participate in a law enforcement escort for Jayden Spicer, accompanying him from the funeral home to the cemetery.

Breathitt County Jailer Joel Gross said dozens of agencies have reached out asking to participate in the funeral procession.

"We're hoping we can really light it up blue and red for Jayden," Gross said.

Gross first posted about the processional earlier this week, asking law enforcement, fire departments, and first responders to join in escorting Spicer from Breathitt Funeral Home to Morlands Cemetery.

Since then, he estimates 40 agencies have volunteered so far. Many will bring several vehicles.

Spicer's favorite colors were red and blue, so Gross says a long line of first responder lights, led by Kentucky State Police, will be a fitting tribute for the boy whose story touched so many.

[…]

Any agencies wanting to participate in the escort can call Gross at 606-568-8285. The vehicles will begin lining up around 1 Thursday afternoon.

Not my state but I’ve emailed local representatives to investigate CPS’ oversight and decisions in this case. If everyone who is in this thread did the same, Jayden’s voice would be louder
