This is Kaiden. He was recently removed from his biological mother's custody after receiving a beating from his stepfather. The mother, stepfather, and two or three supporters have denied Kaiden's injuries. If you find this as nauseating as we do, read on for a comment from Kaiden's father:
Kaiden opened the door for the police & DHR investigator & then he proceeded to run out the door with nothing on but underwear in 50 degree weather, so he could ride his bike unsupervised while the mother was in the back of the house vacuuming. Upon our arrival at the Fountain household Kaiden was placed in mine & my wife’s care.
At first we didn’t know the extent of the “bruising” until digging deeper into the report. At first, we were not going to hold the mother accountable due to her claiming she was at work during the time of the incident. Since then, she has been protecting Ricky Fountain (the abuser) on social media & making a joke out of all of this as if it’s a normal occurrence for them.
We have decided to pursue custody of Kaiden due to the unsafe nature of the Fountain household. I’m coming to my community to ask for help to pay for a lawyer & get Justice for Kaiden. If you can’t donate then please consider sharing his story.
Despite what Mr. & Mrs. Fountain would have you believe, Ricky Fountain currently has six arrests on his RAP sheet, including two for drug charges and two concerning this episode of abuse. Mrs. Fountain has contacted us...and taught us some new words.
Kaiden needs to be with his father and his hopefully new mother. One thing we can all do is pray for this child that he'll grow up happy and have no lasting memories of the abuse.
A final word: The Fountains say anyone who shares pictures of this child's wounds is disseminating child pornography. Just think about that for a few minutes...
