LE announced finding his body yesterday, and the vigil/light up the night for Amari was last night. Originally media said the body was found Thursday, but it was a mistake and later corrected to Wednesday

I am not blaming her for the actual death of her child.

Who leaves their two year old for FIVE WEEKS ???

If my parents had my son for a weekend at that age - we spoke multiple times a day by phone....and my parents lived 20 minutes away

Whoa. 5 weeks?!?

 

[LaborDayRN]

I am so sad for Amari, and angry for what happened to him. So many could have helped/stopped it from happening, yet he fell through the cracks. I am angry at everyone that knew what was happening, or happened in the past.

Agree. There were people who knew the danger he was in and what he was experiencing in his little life, and that would include those who lived with him.

Someone who isn't bonding to their child like a mother should be.

FIVE

In the first photo below, there is a pile of rock just in front of the alleyway where Amari's body was found. Could be a possibility that the body was concealed under rock... ?

i think thats exactly what happened, this guy is too lazy to dig an actual hole.

Agreed, I don't believe he even bothered to bury Amari in the sense people think when hearing the word "buried". I think he dumped him there in that little alleyway between the fence and building, and then just tossed some debris and rocks on top of him and went on his merry way. I doubt he was even that well concealed.

Poor Amari, a beautiful 2 year old baby boy with sparkling joyful mischievous eyes and smile that lit his whole darn face. How frightened was he in his two short years? how many times? Did he cry for his mama when Rhodes was beating him that last time? Cases like this make me hate humanity and what it is capable of.

What are the sources for TN being abused and in the system? According to her mom she was raised by her grandparents who also raised Amari until very recently when she wanted him back and they had to return him because they did not have custody I think this is another case that proofs that legally grandparents need more rights in order to save these precious babies

i want to read this source, where can i find?

 

[cvaldez1975]

Is that info official or just a SM rumor?

gma stated it in interview on MSM

 

[LaborDayRN]

When was the last time the father, paternal grandparents, aunts, etc saw Amari?
A year ago?
I’ve driven 6-7 hours one way to see a family member for the weekend.
Allegiant Air flys RNO to LAS for $64 round trip.
How many times did the maternal grandmother contact CPS?
Did anyone on the paternal side also contact CPS?

As far as the aunts go, I don't believe they would have any legal rights to insist on visits. After all, if there were extended family members that I didn't want around my children (which there were) they just weren't allowed around my children.
I truly believe this little ones paternal aunts cared about Amari but I imagine their hands were tied. The bio dad from the reports we've seen seems to have had no interest in this sweet boy.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The man accused of killing Amari Nicholson allegedly told police he got upset with the boy after the 2-year-old wet himself and hit him several times, leading to his death last week, according to an arrest report.

[snip]

Rhodes allegedly said he became upset and hit Amari with a closed fist three to four times, and at some point Amari "turned blue and purple in the face and stopped breathing."

Arrest report: Suspect admitted to hitting Amari Nicholson after getting upset

The decision to leave Amari with Rhodes is one I will never ever understand. For a planned 5 weeks out of state? A toddler at an age where potty training is still a work in progress? With a man who you are fighting/disagreeing with?

Just gonna let the next snip speak for itself :

“Terrell loves Amari like it’s — like he’s his own,” Nicholson continued. “He’s been the one who’s been taking care of Amari; Amari loves Terrell just as much.”

Nicholson would tolerate no criticism her boyfriend.

“At this point, you can’t sit here and say anything negative for a man to be taking care of another man’s baby,” she said. “He never handed the baby off to anybody.”

ETA You know what, I am going to say something. Given the outcome, her comments above are infuriating and the BBM portion is disturbingly prophetic. Or a slip of the tongue?

He sure didn't but it would have been better if he did.

Miss Thang's obfuscating is off the charts. Gee I wonder who was coming by then. The 'Cleaners' to tidy up. MOO

 

[tlcya]

the quotes by TN are from before Rhodes confession/arrest and before Amari's body was found. But in hindsight, looking at her words and statements from the interview when Amari was still just "missing/falsely abducted" they are very interesting and telling JMO.

“At this point, you can’t sit here and say anything negative for a man to be taking care of another man’s baby,” she said. “He never handed the baby off to anybody.”

I think her comments are a clear indication of how brainwashed she is. I don't think people understand the extent of the emotional and physical abuse that takes place in these types of situations.
You cannot rationalize anything she is saying by thinking the way you think.
Also, of course she was defending him. He was not locked up and she could have been in just as much danger.
