Where is little Maleah? Missing child captures city's attention
BBM: I copy and pasted some details I found interesting and had not read before. Interesting MD's brother is having nightmares. (I am new here, please let me know if I am not posting the right way)
Her brothers, ages 2 and 6, unaware she is missing, remain with relatives. A judge barred Maleah’s mother and fiancé, Derion Vence from seeing them. On Wednesday, Vence’s 27th birthday, members of their shellshocked families testified in court for
seven hours about the
boys’ care.
Maleah and her older brother shared the same father, Craig Davis, also 26. A child support order from 2016 made Bowens the primary caregiver, but
Davis could see the kids on certain weekends, Thursdays and holidays.
Davis in recent months sought to be involved in his kids’ lives, according to court testimony.
Bowens told the judge she is not yet ready to care for the boys but wanted to visit. She thought about them daily, she said.
“I’m all they know,” she said.
