“They didn’t ask for photos, they didn’t ask for videos, they didn’t ask for any type of evidence. They didn’t ask me for anything,” said Samuels’ cousin.
According to her, little Sequoia was born prematurely with hard lungs and special needs and was placed on a feeding tube.
The cousin claims she would see Samuels’ mother get upset when the four-year-old didn’t catch on.
“She had bruises on her back, bruises on the upper arm, bruises. Her feet used to be black,” said Samuels’ cousin.
The cousin says she pleaded with Jackson multiple times for custody.
“I told her that I would take the child, that would not have been a problem, and like I said, I explained to her when she does come into my custody, her check would have to be transferred over to me because I have to provide her needs also as well as all the things,” she said. “She disregarded and said, ‘That’s okay,’ but the bruises and stuff continued.”

Don’t worry justice is coming! Have fun playing in God’s garden with all the other precious children taken from us too soon 
I was just coming in here to post the same question.

I wonder if she would have let her go had she not had to turn over her SSI check? How many stories of people reporting and nothing being done do we have to hear about. If any of you report and nothing happens, call the police or CPS' state office. Maybe that will get thr ball going.JUN 16, 2023

Three other children in the home around the same age, my guess it was one of those kids captured on video. Which makes me wonder if one of the “adults” intentionally sent that child outside as a sort of proof Sequoia walked off.The child’s mother, Brittany Jackson, is charged with Aggravated Child Abuse-Neglect, Abuse of a Corpse and False Offense Report. Jaylon Hobson, the alleged boyfriend of Jackson, is charged with False Offense Report.
The Department of Children’s Services confirmed it had prior contact with the family and has opened an investigation.
The search for Sequoia Samuels began Thursday when she was reported missing from her home on Caldwell Avenue in North Memphis.
The 4-year-old with a feeding tube allegedly was last seen on security camera footage the night before, walking out of her house.
Jackson, the child’s mother, told police Thursday that she was at home at 247 Caldwell with Hobson, her live-in boyfriend, along with Sequoia, her 5-year-old son and two of Hobson’s juvenile relatives, ages 6 and 4.
She said she last saw Sequoia around 11:45 p.m. when she gave her a drink of water and put her to bed. She said she fell asleep on the couch and Hobson later fell asleep with her.
“Jackson maintained the corpse for several weeks” until the bags were dumped in a garbage container with other garbage cans outside the apartment, the statement reads.

What a @@@@! I have read the statements from the so called mother, she places blame on him yet she was the one who put her in garbage bags etc. They both need to be charged with murder ( I'm sure they will). Disgusting.Pfft. He sounds just frantic, doesn't he?

Community grieves as gruesome details on death of 4-year-old Sequoia Samuels revealed
A grueling search involving local and federal agencies came to a tragic end Thursday after the body of four-year-old Sequoia Samuels was found near the apartment where she lived.
Where’s the murder charge? It says he had attacked this child several times leading up to this, and he has a pending charge for possession on PCP. The mother allowed it and helped cover it up. This deserves a murder charge or two.
Couldn't she have worried about that check after she got that precious baby to safety?! MOO Obviously, a mother callous enough to abuse this defenseless child isn't going to give up that check without a fight.
