Police say 2-year-old Maliek had been living with his father, 30-year-old Dayvon Morrison, at a Long Island City homeless shelter.

According to police sources, on Monday, Morrison hid Maliek in the undercarriage of a stroller and brought him to a relative's home in Manhattan. There, the criminal complaint alleges "witnesses noticed the victim's condition and called the police."

The criminal complaint says Morrison told police he saw his son was injured when he woke up Saturday. Prosecutors allege Morrison told officers he must have hit Maliek but doesn't remember because he was intoxicated.

Maliek suffered brain damage and a fractured pelvis and is now on a ventilator at Weill Cornell Hospital.

Morrison was arrested and is being held without bail on attempted murder and assault charges.

Doomed sounds like the right word

dad got custody for some reason
but he was homeless and drinking alcohol

it's not illegal to be homeless and with a child I guess but ... well, there's alcohol and the small detail of beating the kid to death uh
