Timeline: What has happened since 20-month-old Quinton Simon went missing?

At just 20 months old, Quinton Simon hasn't been seen for 60 hours. In those moments, WSAV has told you a lot about the search to find him but to tell you about the environment he was living in, we have to back up weeks.

Drugs, moms boyfriend, little kids = recipe for disaster and the kids are the ones who suffer.

Exactly! If i ever became a single mom i would NEVER let a man around my kids. I won't have a relationship til theyre atleast teenagers i dont want any men around them while their young, god knows what kind of evil is in people's hearts nowadays

The mother & boyfriend have done something! It's very suspicious that the babysitter gets a txt at 5.30am for her to not come to babysit. Then all of a sudden the child is missing! The babysitter also went around to their house after the 9am text to offer assistance but they did not want her there! They're definitely hiding something!

This is what breaks my heart the grandmother had custody of him and his brother. So why did the mother have the children not the grandmother. If she would've been doing what she was supposed to this little guy wouldn't be missing.

[@Lexielouwho]

@@cdelane3335 I asked myself the same thing. From the sounds of it the grandma was out of town for work and she left the kids in her husbands care. Since they all lived under the same roof, it sounds like grandpa let the parents have too much access to the children. Also in that interview the grandma said she also had the babysitter. So it sounds like the grandma thought she had the boys taken care while she was out of state for work, between her husband and the babysitter. I think grandpa has some explaining to do.

[@videomelanie]

So true on the good reporting.

If Quinton was okay, he would have shown up by now. Gawd, I hope nothing bad happened this adorable, little guy, but stories like Quinton's almost always end the same. I'm praying he is found safe and sound soon!! It's sickening how many parents are just vile monsters in disguise.
