A 5-year-Old with Cerebral Palsy has been Missing for 12 Years

Hasanni Campbell's foster father says he left the little boy just outside his BMW parked behind his fiancee's shoe store in August of 2009. He says he was only gone long enough to go around to the front, walk through the store and open the rear door, but by the time he got there, the little boy was gone. There are certainly theories and accusations, but to this day, the mystery of little Hasanni's disappearance has never been solved.

The foster father is guilty. And why was his car parked in the back of the store. Pure BS on the foster father. He took his 19month old daughter out but not the son makes no sense. Look at the Aunts face says it all. They know. The Aunt should be ashamed that she is standing by that babies killer

[@jonathanray7931]

The woman "suspect" (can't recall her name) is Hassani's biological aunt. Louis Ross was/is the woman "suspect's" boyfriend effectively making him Hassani's uncle by "intimate," non-bioligical relationship. As far as I have been able to figure out from the video, they were not officially in the foster care system at that time if they ever had been or have been since. But they were nonetheless Hassani's foster parents in the sense of that they were asked to take him on and care for him. I vaguely recall this case but I don't recall if they were ever registered in the foster care system. Tragic story all the way around and heartbreaking! I can't recall a lot of its details so I can't recall how it ended up and if did but I what I gathered from the video is that it has not been fully solved yet and that it might not ever be. However I just don't believe that and am holding out hope that it'll one day be fully solved no matter how long it takes. Just my take.

[@melibabe]

I live in this neighborhood, so I know the story pretty well. It’s not a strip mall, it’s shops along College Avenue, with apartments above and (expensive) residential neighborhoods immediately adjacent on every cross street. The place he said he parked is very small, visible from many angles including the outdoor patio of a restaurant across the street, and there’s a lot of foot traffic up and down the street because the BART station is a ten minute walk south. If no one saw anything that day, it’s because there wasn’t anything to see, because Hasani was never there.

[@melibabe]

Edited to add: didn’t watch the whole video because it was repetitive, cut together clips from different time periods without annotating them, got a bunch of things wrong, and generally was fairly schlocky.

I agree with you, that's one of the first things that came to my mind.. he was never there!

Plus when they have serious disabilities more money is often needed for medical bills, extra tutoring for school, and other expenses that pop up. Plus it seems like LE would def contact local medical centers, practices, even medical supply places since the child would need such services eventually, sometimes sooner rather than later.

This baby nevah had a chance-all because those two witches and warlocks didn't want the responsibility of taking care of that baby.

The acting father did it. He had no ties to him. There are to many times in this world where the non paternal father/boyfriend lashed out in rage at a child. Usually regret it later but do it anyway.

[@mikaberry8226]

The acting dad said everything I needed to hear " we don't want 5 years to go by and still don't find him" yeah he disposed of his body somewhere no one will ever find it

[@carmencintron8123]

Why couldn't step dad call mom on his cell phone & ask her to open back door?

[@annacostello5181]

It was at least 12 years ago.

[@kimeshajoy]

Also the more time that passes the harder it is to solve these type of cases

[@bobbiburger4015]

The policeman said that there are apartments above the store and the renters could go in the back door, so how was the door locked. Lewis should have been able to go right in.

I am a person born with Spina Bifida. As a child I wore metal braces known as callipers. In my late teens I wore plastic braces known as what we called gaters. I don't think this little boy is alive. If not, may he rest in peace and get justice. Regards from South Africa

The kid is 5 years old not 15 years old why leave a small kid with a disability by himself in a car parked in an alley or behind a building?

[@nickymoss2008]

Wondering if the foster father had a cell phone back then. Just call the business phone and tell his wife “I’m out back, unlock door.”

[@maveric554922]

How dreadfully sad, a beautiful child who is still touching hearts. Foster dad says he walks round the car, opens the boot (trunk) and opens the child's door presumably because of childlocks? Child was has compromised mobility issues with cognition and in a car parking and delivery area. When Foster dad says the media emphasise disability braces most folks would imagine the old fashioned metal type which would be very evident however the modern customise molded plastic splints can fit into regular shoes and and worn under trousers are much more discreet and may not be noticed at first unless the child is moving.

[@bshiv9854]

I don't understand why foster said he's not that disabled, but I can understand why he would clarify a better description if ppl are looking for a boy with braces on his legs. It does appear that the little boy was never there. Obviously, there was never any or enough evidence to make an arrest, but it does sound like everyone is doing their best to find him.

[@leakoa]

I think he may have said that because it would have been easier/quicker for him to walk off.

So so very Sad... I have a question in case anyone can answer me. On this video at 5.57 minutes into it your showing a map This map show's where The Shoe Store is and then there's also an arrow pointing showing where cloths were found. Are those clothes his clothes ? Has there been any DNA testing on the clothes? Also, On the Dad... I believe at 13:07 minutes into your video it looks as if the Dad is wearing a Shirt that might be warn by a Nurse or A TECH in a hospital ?? Not sure.. However, If he is a TECH or Nurse or in classes that might lead him to that sort of field for work. Then maybe that's why he has Latex Gloves in his car.. However, This is a very sad and strange case.

[@deftones8717]

Those shirts look exactly like the kind inmates are obligated to wear in county jails. They are basically scrubs. Every county jail provides those shirts to each inmate, along with pants to match. Each jail has them. Just the color of the uniform may vary between jails. The ones in my county (Suffolk county, New York) are a forest green color. Unfortunately I learned all about these fashionable jailhouse scrubs the hard way many times during my younger years, when I was a little trouble maker. Thankfully I changed my ways and I am no longer a derelict loser on drugs. But i digress. You might be correct though. It may actually be legit scrubs and he might work some kind of job in the medical field.

I think that would have been picked up by dogs. Did the search that area?

[@MonsterMacLLC]

Wouldn’t they have a child seat already? Given the situation this could be a way of fast tracking a sibling placement.

[@tiffyyorkshire6124]

He was just gone That's what the parents of Summer Wells said

[@shelleydetects603]

In the video he walks pretty well and the guy saying the braces were inside the pants is just explaining that the braces are not like the old metal polio braces. I think the foster parents were overwhelmed and killed him. It’s so sad. Poor kid was let down by every adult in his short life

[@efw9060]

My son and niece both carry latex gloves in their cars. They have first-aid training and they want to be prepared in case of an accident. My son has used his twice when he came upon a car wreck and assisted the injured. To play devils advocate, maybe the reason the father told about the braces being under his pants was that someone kidnapping him would not realize he was handicapped.

[@mariem4281]

[@peggybaby0894]

I’m late to this but the man has scrubs on too in the videos. As a CNA I’ve always had gloves, trash bags and hand sanitizer all in my car.

[@noviwhitfield3261]

This sounds like some bs and they need to bring serious charges against the so-called foster father!

[@joanmcclelland1820]

That beautiful little boy could have been killed by the foster father but that doesn't justify Nancy Grace exaggerating facts. She said the child could "barely walk". Not true ! You can see him walking quite well in the shopping mall while holding his aunt's hand. He appears to be keeping up with her quite well. Nancy has an irritating habit of embellishing or exaggerating facts to fit her theories . Bless his little heart.

[@Noneck1999]

Beautiful child but that foster dad just not adding up, why are people so heartless how can a person kill someone and live with that guilt let alone a little child

[@yvettemoore5685]

Well, the dogs couldn’t pick up his trace at all. That leaves me to believe he was never there. Their story stink.

[@bruggeman672]

So now both adults had to go to the front? Seems obvious what's happened so why is this case not solved? could it be perhaps negligence? cops are making claims so where's the proof?

[@elnabjelland-hughes8172]

Who leaves a child alone in a car nobody should but this foster parent apparently did. I think he set something up with someone to take the boy away !

[@ms.bornagain57]

They probably put him in the empty car seat box. It was big enough for him to fit in.
