The Chatham County Police Department and the FBI said they are conducting a search of a Waste Management landfill and believe the body of three-year-old Quinton Simon was thrown in a dumpster and later transported to the landfill. WSAV’s Brett Buffington reports.

#NBCNews #Landfill #Toddler
WOW… you guys are FINALLY reporting on this… is been going on for over a week now.
That’s what I said, I am still reading how they are searching for him in the landfill, but that is like 2 or 3 days ago.
I hate this planet 😭
I love her. She is magnificent!
I’m struggling to like the human inhabitants.
Anyone involved in this tragedy including any family members should be charged to the full extent of the law. That poor baby tossed out like garbage may he rest in peace
You’re right. If you don’t want your child, give it to someone who does. No need for MURDER. SENSELESS EVIL CRIME.
@Moonlight Lady especially if it was just because mom didn’t want to pay child support, like they are saying.
This is the first I’ve heard of Quinton. So very disturbing
if was an accident why not just call the police. why dump him like rubbish. so sad
There is no end to the depravity of human beings. Poor baby.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢
Amen!
Is the mother still missing? I said several days ago that we’ve seen this 1000 times and everyone knew the mother did it, and I also said that if police had any brains they’d arrest her because she was in danger also because people are tired of trash and that trash was walking free.
No! She was in court yesterday or Monday concerning her other children who CPS removed.
straight up savage animals
Anybody would have to have mental problems or something to be able to do this…
Sick people in this world and even worce if its his mother. I hope they have death sentence there
It’s time to get brutal with punishments for these types of crimes against children…..absolutely no mercy anymore for criminals.
So sick and Billie Joe at the very least should be arrested for child endangerment.
Kinship is a hard place for a relative and understanding that doesn’t change our roles as a kinship grandmother.
My girls are not able to protect themselves as no paying taxed citizens I have to stand up for the and when we do,we are supposed to do so even against our own daughters or sons.
Very sad situation wouldn’t Cadaver dog’s be the best prescription in a situation like this, because those dog’s are trained to pick up the sent of any human remains that may have been buried.
its a very difficult area to search using dogs, as not only are there hazards for them but due to the profusion of smells its confusing for them too., ,
@maria Dowler Oh ok .
Why does the Description says “3 year old” he was 20 months old !! He wasn’t that lucky unfortunately
I have three kids, my young is 13 months, when i see these baby’s pictures and hear the parent killed their baby, it makes me love my children more and make me sad the person that baby was to be loved by, did not.
WOW IF SHE WAS BLACK THEY WOULD HAVE ARREST HER 😳
They’re definitely gonna arrest her. It doesn’t really matter when.
Whoever the person that put that baby there needs to be tortured and held in solidarity room for as many years that mistake of flesh took from that baby
God Help Us 🙏
Pro-Life voters doing Trumpie stuff…
No big deal.
God, Guns, and Trump…
Neither one are going to help you now.
Unwanted pregnancies get real ugly. not excusing anyone’s behavior this is freaking terrible. This is the ugly side of Southern Christian families who refuse to let their 16 year old daughters have abortions.
Someone such as myself trying to have a child for 6 years now, I just can’t understand how this could happen.
People are evil.
It is very common that the wrong people have children
Oh wow honey Why is your head so big and neck so skinny did you catch the freddy mercy cocktail ??? that tony f created in 2003???? and he named it sar s ?
Omg this is so sad
These people’s culture is a disease of the earth.
What culture?
Gma and daughter seen at a bar last night partying it up. What a sad Family. Bury them UNDER THE JAIL
Whether.. Accidental or Intentional …there’s no acceptable excuse…for throwing his little Body .. in a Garbage Dumpster!!!😭
What a beautiful lil angel. This is so heartbreaking 💔
This is so hearhbreaking..my heart aches for this boy..how can a mother hurt this sweet boy then throw him in the trash ..😭😭😭
it’s sad! she can’t have a heart!
She’s not a mother…
This goes to show what disfunctional families , and drugs involved can result in …….nothing good comes of either one.
You’re right about this. And the grandmother is some piece of work, herself. She’s more concerned about trying to get money for rent from her children, and having her daughter pay her child support and then kicking whomever she wants to out, than CARING about any of them, or her grandchildren. She’s a poor excuse for a mother or a grandmother.
To toss a precious innocent little boy out like trash is disgusting. I would like to put mom in a trash compactor.
They need to risk premature charges. Instead of playing stupid…
Wow, I just can’t believe a person would do this to a innocent baby. Even animals take care of their young.
Even animals know to protect their babies, these people are savages worst of the worst
Some @$$holes people don’t care about FBI company because they thug life as ruthless pr!cks. Hmph what a cruel world we live in.
glad to know Atlanta is nowhere near on their game….. SHAME
Praying for everyone searching for Quinton 🙏
I mentioned her selling him, if they want drug money, just a thought.
@Deannajoy Sabourin nothing surprises me at this point, especially spending $300 at that bar, having a good time.
I’m wondering if she’s telling the truth? Like Casey Anthony
SHE SOLD HIM!!! HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Time really is a flat circle because this is Casey Anthony all over again
🙏🏼
Wtf. The parents threw this child into a trash bin?!?!
😰 want him to be found alive
This is so sad I hope they find him may he Rest In Peace, and may justice be served, that baby had his whole life ahead of him.
Oh my God I was hoping that he was alive 😭 I just had a feeling tho…. 😭
give extreme punishment to the culprit for the death of this lil young boy😿
What is curious is that for a missing white child in America, 40 FBI agents show up to search, whereas a missing child of Color virtually goes unnoticed
Shameful 🥺 this little boy didn’t deserve this, get the culprits and throw them to the alligators, no Mercy 🧐
america you are the sickest scum of all!
Did he fall or get hurt
What ??? Damm…..
Sad!
If they know he’s dead they should know who killed him make an arrest already stop playing!
The spirit of the child will return to haunt his killer.
Um…apparently the mother and grandmother party while this kid lays in a landfill
If you are watching and or reading this… Tell them where this little innocent Angel is!!!! One way or the other you’re still going to PRISON. At least give your flesh a little peace and have him laid to rest properly. You’re a sorry human. Prayers for you Quinton🙏🏽
and what’s worse, the mother and grandmother were out drinking shots while the investigators search for Quintin’s remains. They were laughing it up. How EVIL is this?
3 years old, 20 months and 6 months old. Literally, almost the bare minimum between kids.
Do these people not know about contraception?
Hola!! I can’t watch that precious little boy face !! To know that he did nothing to deserve what happen to him and to throw him out in the Garbage by a mother and family that know exactly what happened !! If you hurt your child for wtv reason admit it !! Give your child a proper burial and go serve your prison time !! If this is your fault for your own greed and selfish actions!! You will be punished! I really hope the cops are on top of this case , So this little Angel can finally rest!! What wicked inhumane Ugly people we have in the world!!!! We pray for Quinton ❤️🙏🏽3 yrs old Children innocent are the most cherished they can do no wrong !! But the devil
Works on those who have demons within them!!!!This grandma you are not a grandmother because your child did something so horrible and you think your keeping her secret!! Well shame on you….
If the police were doing their jobs they would of looked 15 days ago and maybe they would of found him. I don’t agree how they wait on arresting this phsyco of a mother she’s on probation ect and I’m sure they could of done something. This makes me so mad that these kids go missing and for some reason these cops can’t find them doesn’t make any sense at all
Yeah but I read this 2 days ago, how long does it take? So find something you can arrest her with, even for 72 hours, you did it with Laticia Stauch, we still haven’t heard anymore about that, and she was caught before Lori Vallow.
That murder and her mother is out partying without a care in the world while people is going through a landfill looking for the baby. Both of them should be put under the jail.
So sorry baby boy you deserved so much better
HOW COULD ONE BE SO CRUEL AND HEARTLESS
Get one for free
That beutifulll baby, there’s millions of people that cannot have kids that would have loved him and gave him a good life heartbreaking
Sweet baby angel Quinton 👼
This case is so disturbing. So many people would take him and give him a wonderful life.
Rest in peace baby Quinton
I’m thinking they’re going to have enough evidence to press charges even if they don’t find his remains. Still, I would like to see him have a proper burial.
His mom and grandmom were just spotted yesterday out for dinner and shots near a hotel they ran off to. They’re disgusting.
It is good that they’re showing their true colors. The prosecution is going to have a field day with their little vacation.
death penalty immediately!
Can you use cadaver dogs there?
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Her 3 yr old has been “missing” for 2 weeks , the police are searching a dump for the body , the child is believed to be dead , the “mother” is the only suspect , police believe she threw the child’s body in a garbage can like a piece of trash AND …the so called “mother” and “grandmother” were seen at a bar doing shots and being loud and police had to be called because “protesters” were yelling at the building ……seriously ? THAT is what you do when your 3 yr old has been missing for 2 weeks , assumed dead and you are the only suspect for killing him ? SMFH
Why do police believe him to be dead? Maybe he was kidnapped.
I think Quinton is not in the landfill. I think the grandmother posted that he was in a landfill so that they don’t find a body. She is protecting her daughter. The babysitter was telling the grandmother constantly about the bruises on Quinton. The grandmother obviously did nothing about it. Could it be because the grandmother was putting some of those bruises on him and those children herself? She had her own children taken away years ago because she was unfit. The grandmother has an explosive temper, as seen by the way she attacked the babysitter. I think the grandmother storming into the babysitters house, verbally attacking her, was all planned out in order to throw suspicion on the babysitter. The grandmother could have put some of those bruises on those children. She did nothing about it when the babysitter was telling her and calling out for help for that baby. Under her watch, those children were being abused. The grandma left the kids in the mothers (daughter) care, after taking her to court, so she knew there were problems. Now they’re out partying, drinking, getting drunk and doing shots, hugging and loving on each other,;while teams are searching a dump for baby Quinton… And I don’t think he is there. This family is very dark, violent, criminals, druggies, low life and dysfunctional. They both know exactly where That baby boy is and what happened to him.
That grandmother knows more than she’s telling, that’s for sure.
So so sad
I pray he is found and And Justice for this poor child
As a mother of a 2 year old little boy, my heart breaks. This should hurt everyone’s soul. A crime against any child, is a crime against the world.
Where is the father of this little boy ??????????
Anyone that was in that home that night and in the early morning of the hours today to be arrested. When you can’t find the toddler a 20-month-old after 24 hours of searching you might as well know that child. And anyone in that home that night and in those early morning hours need to be arrested for murder. Stop screaming around and charge the mother and the boyfriend and anyone else that was there
Children are NOT garbage. This is such a horrific, senseless crime. Sickening, just sickening. Poor little fellow.
I know this is not Believable.But in San Antonio , Texas.There was a Psychic Lady that was well known in Knowing what happen to Missing Person.Hired by F.B.I.to locate them and what Happen to them.She had Newspapers of Herself solving Cases. I just hope and Prey.This lil Angel will be found.🙏😥
It’s so selfish of Quintons “mother” to keep everyone waiting and putting the searchers at risk of all kinds of dangers. Not to mention the cost! Having to use money that is meant for the safety of the public. There’s obviously something wrong with the mother and grandmother. You’d think they’d want to bring that precious baby home. This is so disturbing.
This case reminds me of the Kelsey Barreth case where her fiance killed her and burned her body. Her fiance’s girlfriend said that he burned Kelsey’s body and threw it in a Landfill or a river. They searched the Landfill looking for any evidence like bones. They searched the Landfill 5 days a week for 35 days and came up with nothing. His girlfriend testified against him and he got a life sentence. So, this case with Quinton can last that long. The question is: will they find anything. If they don’t find anything there like bones or his clothes that he was wearing the day he disappeared, then what did she really do with him?
Have they found him yet?
This is heartbreaking, The grandmother should never have left her daughter with any of the kids
Did Quinton get out the back door between 10pm and 5am when it shows the door was open and walked the 8 feet to the pool and drowned? and Leilani covered it up by sadly putting him out in the trash??
They didn’t want any one to have him.
Should throat punch “mom” And “Grandma” three times a day till they talk!
lets all hope justice is delivered here
i feel so sad for that little boy
God bless this special baby
person who done this to little Quinton needs to fry!!! SICK
I just read that the mom and grandma were seen out drinking and laughing at a bar………… it’ll be quite hot where their going
They haven’t arrest her? Why? Let me guess
Every case is different and you can’t compare cases.Although the general public feels she should be locked up they are gathering evidence and searching for Quinton so when charges are filed and she is arrested her lawyers can’t say there’s a technicality.Keep praying for these people searching for sweet Quinton as it’s a tough job physically and emotionally.Please GOD let them find him soon so he can get his much deserved dignified burial and the world can show even more of their love for him.Quinton you are now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Rest In Peace Sweet Angel
Im so sorry
I hate that this has happened. Bless this family even the mom she still lost her child and family still has a
Love one lost.
From the looks of the pictures the little boy look handsome and taken care of. So at the end of this tragedy I pray for healing and comfort for this family.
Poor Quinton.
His grandmother & mother were on holiday, on Tybee Island, taking shots and getting rowdy at an outdoor bar, while Chatham County law enforcement, search for his little remains in a landfill specifically used as a massive trash dump.
Not every woman who gets pregnant should have a child, ESPECIALLY when they’re really young.
Obviously, this young lady came from a horrible home, which is why she felt so comfortable with the disposal of her baby in a trash heap, while she gets sauced with her mum.
Just utterly disgraceful.
RIP, Baby Quinton 🙏🏽
Give this baby justice so he can get a resting place at peace
I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed if this was my child. Going to a bar and laughing, etc, is beyond comprehensible to me. RIP baby boy.
I don’t believe that he’s in the landfill I believe that grandmother text that to throw people off because why would you send a text like that I believe they’re wasting their time looking in that landfill he’s buried somewhere maybe even around her house
I think it’s all a lie. I think the family knows where Quentin is, and they have known all along because they have put him someplace so they could hoax a kidnapping in order of financial gain because they probably saw how much money was raised for Kiley Rodni and stewed this up and if it comes to the point of anyone going to jail that’s when Quentin will pop back up with whoever they put him with and will pretend to be Quentin’s ‘savior’ and they get the reward money and split it BOOM there it is
