Another toddler dead because progressives believe ACS should be abolished
“I fought for my son. I warned ACS, the courts, NYPD. Everybody. But now y’all can hear me? Now y’all can hear me?” Cyndy Williams asked.
Williams, whose 2-year-old son Maliek succumbed to his injuries at NewYork-Presbyterian on Thursday, says she tried to get the authorities to pay attention to the danger that Maliek’s father, Dayvon Morrison, posed to their child.
According to official reports, the boy suffered “a blown right pupil, fractured pelvis, laceration to the liver, damage to the brain stem, multiple brain bleeds and swelling to the brain.”
His father is alleged to have beaten him to within an inch of his life a week ago.
“If you’re gonna put me in cuffs, that’s fine,” Morrison allegedly told the responding officers. “I was drunk the other night.”
No word on whether he was drunk during the two days afterward when he failed to get Maliek any medical attention.
Systemic failures
The city Administration for Children’s Services is not admitting whether it was aware of the risks to the toddler.
“The safety and well-being of New York City children is our top priority,” a spokesperson said before Maliek died. “We are investigating this horrific abuse with the NYPD, and we are hoping the child will make a full recovery.”
There is obviously plenty of failure to go around here, if the NYPD and family courts also knew about the situation.
Not to mention that the beating occurred inside a city homeless shelter.
Is anyone there paying attention?
