5-Year-Old Disabled Boy Abandoned On Street Corner In Connecticut

[Sugar Cookie]

Police in Fairfield County are asking the public for help identifying a young boy who was dropped off in a city street in the rain and abandoned.

The boy, who goes by the name Prince, was abandoned at around 5:44 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31, in the area of Burroughs Street and East Main Street, said Bridgeport Police Capt. Kevin Gilleran.

"It appears the child was left there by a Black female operating a white Infinity Q50 or Q40 sedan," said Gilleran.

The child is described as a Black male, approximately 5-years-old, with disabilities preventing him from providing the necessary information to make a positive identification and locate his family.

He answers to the name "Prince".

“Prince” is safe and in the care of the state Department of Children and Families.

Ugh! My heart hurts for this little guy, my now 12 year old has a few disabilities and was non verbal while younger, I cannot imagine the fear and confusion the poor kid is feeling. Special needs children can be more than some people can handle, but jfc! Help yourself, help him! By asking for help/ get services.... Dumbass!

To discard a child like this is simply inhuman.
My hope is that the boy ends up in a safe loving home.

May the bitch responsible be identified and suffer years of verbal and mental abuse where ever she may go.
It would please me to see her get punched in the face repeatedly.

She wasn’t much better at taking care of him physically.. he looks thin and she didn’t take care of his beautiful hair.. skank.. she could afford that car but not maybe hire someone to help or give her breaks.. she not only abandoned him but abandoned him in the fucking rain

Named him Prince then tossed him out like yesterday's leftovers. I hope she's found but I also hope he never sees her again.

I wonder if Badger Swimming was able to shed any light.

I know I'm gonna be the odd one out here, but if she knew she couldn't take care of him, she did the right thing.

No, it wasn't a safe place to leave a child, but there IS no safe place to leave a child you can't take care of, not without serious punishment. There should be. I think anonymous fire station drop off should go up to like... Age 12. Fewer kids would die.

Apparently she just wanted the orgasm without the child

This is tragic for the pain it caused the poor child, but hopefully he will be better off in the long run. I hope he can be adopted by a loving family who wants him and can address his special needs.

Was she driving a white Infiniti...or a Little Red Corvette?

My heart aches for him, being abandoned, but at the same time I kinda want to sort of thank the mom. I've been on DD long enough that my first thought was actually "at least she didn't kill him." She didn't throw him in a river or drag him with a car. She left him where he'd be found, instead of in the woods or a cemetery like that one bitch. There is no way to give up an older child without repercussions. Maybe she thought she could handle his needs, but he got bigger, stronger, and more difficult. Being male, he would eventually be larger and stronger than mom. It was only going to get harder. But she didn't hurt or kill him!

What a POS to just drop your child off on a street corner where the child will be at risk and potentially exposed to who knows what.

She had other recourses such as asking for help. If other family members were not in the picture she could have turned to her church, Social Services, Department of human resources in her area.... my bet is that the child has already been receiving some kind of assistance.

The system needs to do right by this child and sever this woman's rights to him.

Who knows what else she has done to him and he is unable to say.

"Wherever he is, you need to stay away from there," the judge said.

Williams' attorney, C. Christian Young, said Williams, who has no criminal record, had experienced a PTSD relapse after her son awoke her in the night with "physical contact." The Post reported the boy had attempted to strangle his mother.

"This is a mental health issue, this was a psychiatric break," Young said. "Everyone who's known her is shocked."

Williams served in the National Guard and has worked in ophthalmology, real estate and as a life coach, according to Young, who said she was also a foster parent for her sister's two children and has another child of her own, who is 17.

"Prior to this she had devoted herself to her family and her children's welfare," Young said in an interview after Monday's arraignment. "This wasn't premeditated, it wasn't pre-planned, it wasn't calculated. … It's definitely a mental health situation as opposed to a heartless parent."

Dayton opted to keep Williams' bond at $250,000 rather than lower it, despite requests from the bail commissioner and from Young that it be dropped to $100,000 and from Esposito that it be set at $150,000. Williams was also ordered to contact the bail commissioner's office and undergo mental health treatment should she post bond, which the Post reported she did Monday afternoon.
