Quinton was last seen in his home on Savannah’s Buckhalter Road, wearing a light blue Sesame Street shirt and black pajama pants, police said. Police investigators are asking anyone with information regarding Simon's whereabouts to call 912-667-3134.

Hadley added that police conducted their second search of Quinton’s family home on Monday morning. He previously said investigators had searched the property’s swimming pool and a local pond. The police chief would not comment whether Quinton’s parents were cooperating with police or if they have retained an attorney.

Speaking to local news station WSAV-TV, Diana McCarta, who said she had been babysitting Quinton and his brother for six months, said she had seen the boys as recently as the day before Quinton disappeared.

She was supposed to watch them that Wednesday morning, but instead received an unusual text message, according to the report.

"I got a text this morning saying they would not be here, would not be babysitting them at 5:29 [a.m.]," McCarta told WSAV-TV. "Which was kind of odd because I have them even when she doesn’t work," she said, reportedly referring to the children’s mother.

  McCarta then received a text message from Quinton’s other relatives around 9 a.m., asking if she had seen Quinton, according to the report.

 

"I immediately go to their house. I try to help them look, they didn’t want that. So, I’ve been just waiting around like everyone else," she went on. "My heart is broken. I’m not his mother. I’m not his family. But I love him very much And I just don’t know what could happen."

Quinton lived with his brother, his maternal grandparents, his mother and her boyfriend, local news station WJCL reported.

The grandparents, Thomas and Billie Jo Howell, told the news station they are Quinton’s and his 3-year-old brother’s legal guardians.

"He's just a baby," Billie Jo told the news station. "And I want him home, he's just a baby."

She added that her daughter "hasn’t always done the right thing."

"I don't know what to believe, because I don't think anybody ever believes this is going to happen to them. I don't know if I can trust her or I don't," Billie Jo went on. "I just know I'm hurting and I want this baby home. He's my baby."

Missing Georgia toddler's mom told police she thought son had been taken: report
Georgia police intensifying search for missing 20-month-old boy Quinton Simon with help of FBI

The mother of a 20-month-old boy who was said to have vanished from his family’s Georgia home nearly a week ago told police she woke up to find the child gone – and thought someone might have taken him, according to a local report.

Quinton Simon has been missing since Wednesday, when his mother called police around 9:40 a.m. and said her son was not inside their Buckhalter Road home in Savannah, police officials have said.

Details of a dispatch call obtained by local news station WJCL shed light on the moments the mother reported her son missing.

"Complainant advised her 1-year-old son is missing," the dispatcher could be heard saying, according to the report. "She woke up, her door was open. Advised he's unable to open a door. Thinks someone came in and took him."

Missing Georgia toddler Quinton Simon: Police link baby to 'specific dumpster,' portion of landfill
Georgia toddler Quinton Simon reported missing Oct. 5 as mom Leilani Simon remains 'prime suspect'

By Stephanie Pagones | Fox News

Thirteen days after Georgia toddler Quinton Simon was reported missing from his Savannah home, police officials said Tuesday they had reason to believe the baby's body was discarded in a "specific dumpster" and transported to a local landfill by "regular means."

Chatham County Police Chief Jeff Hadley told reporters on Tuesday investigators had "entered a new phase in the search for Quinton Simon" when they recently began searching the Waste Management landfill located in the county. Hadley was joined by FBI Savannah Senior Supervisory Special Agent Will Clark.

"We did not want to end up at this point, but the evidence has taken us here. We are not just randomly searching this landfill. We have evidence, specific evidence, that leads us to this large property," Clark said. He later added: "We're not searching the whole landfill. We have a specific area where we are focused."

Clark said the evidence had led investigators to the landfill, and officials had spent several days planning for the search effort. He added that the FBI had brought in specialists from Quantico, Virginia, and Atlanta, as well as "all" of the agency's personnel from the Savannah area. 


excerpt:

Quinton was last seen in the early morning hours of Oct. 5, inside his family’s house on Buckhalter Road in Savannah. The residence is a large, yellow-colored, two-story home with a fence-in yard and includes a pool. The child reportedly lived there with his brother, his maternal grandparents, his mother and her boyfriend.

The boy’s mother, 22-year-old Leilani Simon, called police around 9:40 a.m. and said her son was not inside their home, police officials stated. The toddler was allegedly last seen around 6 a.m. Wednesday, when he was wearing a Sesame Street shirt and black bottoms.

Local news station WCJL reported that Simon told a police dispatcher that she awoke to find "her door was open," and her son missing. She allegedly said Quinton was "unable to open a door" and that she thought "someone came in and took him."

On Thursday, Chatham County Police identified Quinton’s mother as "the prime suspect in his disappearance and death."

Police are asking anyone with information related to this case to call 912-667-3134.

She probably traveled with her cell phone, some people just can't put it down... And they know where she went...

"I got a text this morning saying they would not be here, would not be babysitting them at 5:29 [a.m.]," McCarta told WSAV-TV. "Which was kind of odd because I have them even when she doesn’t work," she said, reportedly referring to the children’s mother.

Someone explain why this woman decided to be a mother in the first place.

Quinton Simon's mom downs shots, flirts with bar staff amid search for toddler's remains
Quinton Simon was last seen Oct. 5, and his mother, Leilani Simon, is the main suspect in his disappearance and death, officials say

By Rebecca Rosenberg | Fox News

   Quinton Simon's mom and grandmother were spotted at a popular Georgia bar Tuesday night downing top-shelf tequila shots and flirting with staff amid a search for the missing toddler authorities believe is dead, according to reports.

Leilani Simon, the 20-month-old's mother and the main suspect in his Oct. 5 disappearance, was drinking with her mom, Billie Joe Howell, at Sting Ray's on Tybee Island outside Savannah, the New York Post reported.

"They were having a great time, like they didn’t have a care in the world," a server told the newspaper. "They were drinking Patrón shots in the deck area, being loud and laughing. It’s almost like they were trying to draw attention to themselves."

A manager at Sting Ray's declined to comment to Fox News Digital.

Why are women so stupid this way? 

Because the federal government subsidizes it.  Look at how much free money she would be missing out on if she married the guy.

Yep, my first thought, too.
