Police: Toddler found dead in alley not seen alive for months before remains were found

These "parents" should be sterilized so that they can never again endanger a child.

Hell, they should be put on a registry like child predators are. Especially the mom

based on this article, it looks like mom is the biggest turd here, but kid was found in October, dad reports in early December

without knowing all the details, seems that dad would have missed at least 2 visitations (probably a lot more), so he is not blameless no matter what

What does OT think? Should dad be in trouble, or should this all be on mom?

CAMDEN, N.J. - A toddler found dead in a trash-strewn New Jersey alley in October was there for weeks before his badly decomposed remains were found, and it took another two months for either of his parents to report him missing, investigators said last week.

Camden County investigators on Friday publicly identified the boy as Jah’vi Brown, 20 months old. According to detectives, Jah’vi’s skeletal remains were found in an alleyway in the 800 block of Mount Ephraim Avenue in Camden on the afternoon of Oct. 11.

Meanwhile, Jah’vi’s father, Anthony Burnett, 25, of Camden, went on Dec. 6 to the Bellmawr Police Department regarding a custody dispute he had with Jah’vi’s mother, Tynaizha Brown, 23, of Bellmawr. Prosecutors said Burnett reported Jah’vi missing that day.

“Prior to Dec. 6, neither parent reported this child missing to the police,” Townsend said during a news conference Friday. “So we’re also asking for the public’s help in identifying when this child was last seen alive.”

Investigation into Jah’vi’s disappearance indicated the last confirmed sighting of the toddler was on Aug. 20, when a representative from another state agency saw the boy alive. Townsend declined to name the state agency.

The detective said Friday that both parents’ failure to report Jah’vi missing until months later “causes (investigators) a little concern.” When asked if Brown and Burnett were cooperating, the detective said they have been interviewed and one of the parents has obtained a lawyer. He did not say which has done so.

The alley in which Jah’vi was found is in not far from his father’s home, Townsend said. The grassy space, which is too narrow for vehicles, serves as a walkway linking Mount Ephraim Avenue and Haddon Avenue.
