As we’re positive you’ve been following, the toddler’s mother, Leilani Simon (pictured above, left), has been formally arrested and charged together with his homicide. On the identical time, it was introduced {that a} huge seek for the 20-month-old little one’s stays in a Georgia landfill was paused for the week resulting from Thanksgiving — officers and volunteers have been combing by means of tons of rubbish for a number of weeks now.

It’s so, so terribly unhappy, however at the least now the household is on the best way to getting closure. And for Billie, her intestine was telling her the tragic story from the very starting — so she took an enormous step within the case and turned in her daughter herself!
Should you’ll recall, in an interview with WSAV from final month, the grandmother of the boy was already starting to really feel suspicious about Leilani’s mixed-up tales:
“Leilani’s story doesn’t add up. I been speaking with the infant’s father, with Quentin’s father, all day yesterday. He’s already been questioned, they’ve already went to his job and went to his house, and Quentin’s not there, which, I didn’t assume he could be anyway. Why Leilani would even give you a narrative like that, I don’t even know.”
Yeah, a surprising twist! However the shock doesn’t cease there — earlier than the 22-year-old turned a first-rate suspect in her son’s homicide, Howell apparently advised the FBI her daughter was checking herself out of a therapy middle she had beforehand checked herself into in response to a supply for WTOC-TV:
“Her mom needed to make one of many hardest selections of her life, and name the FBI brokers and allow them to know that she was signing herself out, and that she couldn’t come again right here, and that she was going to be a flight threat, as a result of she couldn’t come again right here as a result of she was going to be again on the streets doing God is aware of what with God is aware of who.”
Whoa.
What an terrible resolution for a father or mother to should make. And solely a month later Simon could be arrested and charged with homicide… Simply chilling…
Billie beforehand mentioned she believed Leilani and her boyfriend had been excessive and left the younger boy within the bathtub the place he drowned, which led to him being disposed of within the rubbish in response to DailyMail.com.
Our hearts are with this household as they await solutions as to what precisely occurred. Might they discover closure and Quinton the justice he deserves.
