A 2-year-old boy has died five days after his father allegedly beat him while blackout drunk in a Queens homeless shelter — and then didn’t seek medical help for days.
“My baby is gone,” little Maliek’s mother Cyndy Williams, posted on Instagram Thursday. “I have nothing else to say. I’m done.”
The toddler died 10:26 p.m. Wednesday, according to his mom.
Little Maliek’s father, Dayvon Morrison, 30, was arrested Tuesday over accusations he beat his son at the Manhattan View Hotel, which is being used as a homeless shelter, on 21st St. near 38th Ave. in Long Island City, cops said. He is charged with attempted murder.
After spending a night in the hotel-turned-shelter with his son Friday night, Morrison woke up the next morning to find multiple bruises on Maliek’s face — but did not seek medical help, prosecutors said. He later told cops he must have hit Maliek the night before, but that he’d been drinking and couldn’t recall what happened, according to court papers.
By Sunday, Maliek’s condition had worsened but Morrison still didn’t seek medical help, prosecutors say.
Early Monday, when he returned his other child to their home in East Harlem, witnesses alarmed at little Maliek’s deteriorating condition called police, according to court papers.
Medics rushed Maliek to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell where he was treated for a blown right pupil, fractured pelvis, lacerations to his liver and damage to the brain, court documents state.
