Mother Found Pushing 3-Year-Old Son’s Lifeless Body in a Swing at Maryland Park

In an exclusive interview given by Vontasha to WUSA9 she said, “Romechia would never harm my grandson in any type of way. You know, I just believe she had some type of mental illness, some type of mental break that came upon her where she wasn’t able to get herself out of that situation.”

She further added, “I don’t want people to look down upon her I want people to use the situation as an opportunity to grow, learn from it. Like I said, help your neighbor, if you suffer from mental issues and you need help, don’t be afraid to reach out to somebody.

Ji’Aire’s father decided not to comment on the matter.

However, WUSA9 learned on a GOFundMe page set up to help the Simms family, that the estranged father had been battling to get sole physical custody of his son since March. Unfortunately, it was not granted by the court.

The case is still being investigated by the police. Richardson said, “This is a top priority for us. This is a 3-year-old boy that’s deceased. We don’t know the cause of death. There are no obvious signs of trauma, but he is deceased and our detectives are working around the clock trying to put information together to answer the question as to how this child died.” 

Romachia is being treated at a local hospital. She hasn’t been criminally charged for the tragic incident.

The swing was removed from the playground.

But a memorial was set near the swing where the lifeless body of the young boy was found.
