Family members say they were trying to get custody of a 6-year-old boy who was killed by his mother. She has been arrested for stabbing three of her children to death Friday, two other kids are in the hospital.
"Our responsibility was for the oldest child, but they [the state] didn’t want to separate the kids, so we feel like that wasn’t fair to us, that we got cheated out of the opportunity to get him," said Dorsey.
“They came to my home they checked the house, they looked at everything, she [a case worker] said she liked what she had seen, everything was fine and was going to look to see if she could get him [Legend] recommended to come be with us," said LaTonya Reese, the child's grandmother about the time a caseworker took a look at her home.Reese suggested the kids should have lived somewhere else while they were trying to iron things out legally with the court system.
The child's mother, 25-year-old Shamaiya Hall, was arrested and charged with three counts of capital murder of multiple persons. Her bond was set at $2 million per charge.
