Missing two-year-old's mother who allegedly lied about his abduction, confesses to beating him to death and dumping his body
A mother from Florida who had reported that her two-year-old son was missing on September 2 morning has been formally charged with first-degree murder after authorities discovered his beaten body in the woods behind a sports complex in Largo. The officers announced that 21-year-old Charisse Stinson had been arrested during a press conference late on September 4 night. In the affidavit that was released by the police, detectives with the Largo Police Department alleged that Stinson had confessed to beating her son Jordan Belliveau.
An Amber Alert had been issued for the toddler on September 2. Stinson had told the police earlier that her son had been kidnapped on the night of September 1 by a man who had offered the mother and son a ride back home.
PEOPLE reported that the woman described the stranger to a police sketch artist and detectives. She then allegedly told the police that the stranger had identified himself as "Antwan" and she also said that the man had knocked her unconscious with a punch once she and her son got into his car.
