Seeking Guidance After My Infant Son’s Death

Card image cap

Location: South Carolina

My son was killed due to blunt-force trauma to his head. He wasn’t even a year old. I live in North Carolina, and the incident happened in South Carolina.

Long story short, his mother sent him to a babysitter and later got a call saying he was having a seizure. She took him to urgent care, and they rushed him to the hospital. He continued having seizures and later passed away. The cause of death was confirmed as blunt-force trauma to the head.

When police questioned the babysitter, she cooperated fully. She provided Ring doorbell footage from that day and handed over her phone so they could review her messages.

On the other hand, when police tried to speak with my son’s mother, her family, and her young daughter, they did not initially cooperate. The police told me they could not reach them, and every time they went by the home, no one answered. Months later, after I called for an update, they told me they eventually spoke with the young daughter, but no new leads or useful information came from it.

I’m a father trying to seek justice for my son, but I honestly don’t know what steps to take next — especially with this happening across state lines. If anyone has guidance on what I should do or who I should contact, please help
