Wendy Pamela Bailey is accused of failing to protect her son from abuse and of showing 'extreme indifference' to his life.
The mother of a missing one-year-old boy told Fayette County investigators her fiancé, Steven Collins, told her he was going to kill their son, Kahleb, and sent her pictures of his bruised and bloodied body, according to court documents. Wendy Pamela Bailey is charged with domestic violence, corpse abuse, criminally negligent homicide, and aggravated child abuse.
Kahleb Collins’ disappearance wasn’t discovered until after his family was involved in a deadly crash on December 8, and crashed into a tree, according to a state crash report. Bailey was critically hurt and the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, Ryleigh, who was not in a car seat, was killed. Collins also died from injuries sustained in the crash. Sources tell WBRC 6 News an out-of-state family member questioned where Kahleb was after the crash, leading authorities to begin their search.The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office confirmed its investigation into Kahleb’s disappearance on December 16, and The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency issued an amber alert. Ms. Bailey was released from UAB Hospital on December 30 and immediately transported to the Fayette County Jail and charged in connection. She is accused of causing her daughter’s death, failing to report abuse of her son, and showing “extreme indifference” to the value of her son’s life.“Wendy Pamela Jean Bailey acknowledged the fact of knowing and failing to intervene on more that two occasions that Khaleb Rowan Collins was physically abused by tortuous means such as being bound with rope, physically assaulted, and being bound by a rope from a loft.” Collins sent pictures to Ms. Bailey of their son hanging from a rope with blood on his body, and a photo of him lying on the floor with extreme bruising, followed by the messages, “He want move,” and “Im so sorry,” according to court records. Collins then sent a message stating, “He moving” to which Ms. Bailey responded, “He just looks wore out and tried and hurt hopefully that’s all,” according to court records
