The baby, Koah Sharp, was found buried in a crate that was wrapped in a towel, crying and “clinging to life,” Sheriff Jay Koon of Lexington County, S.C., said at a news conference on Tuesday. The child’s father had disappeared with him the day before, prompting a widespread search by county and state officials, as well as the F.B.I.

Koah was receiving medical care at a hospital adding that he hoped the child would make a full recovery. He did not elaborate on the extent of the child’s injuries.

Koah’s father, Michael A. Comer, 25, was arrested on Monday night and charged with attempted murder, unlawful conduct toward a child, custodial interference and burglary, the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

Mr. Comer had taken Koah away on Monday, after Mr. Comer’s mother left the two while they waited for another caregiver. Investigators soon issued a public appeal for information on their whereabouts. Mr. Comer did not have access to a car, they said, but was believed to have traveled to multiple locations in Lexington County.

Mr. Comer pleaded guilty earlier this year to domestic violence and aggravated breach of peace, according to state court records.

The baby had been buried in a 2-by-2-foot dog crate with open wire slats, Sheriff Koon said. A towel wrapped around the crate likely created an air pocket, he added, and the cold weather could have helped the baby survive.

“A lot of things were going in Koah’s favor,” the sheriff said. “Hopefully, at 11 months old, he will not remember much about this as he grows older.”

According to authorities, Comer had Koah for about four days since getting out of jail for other offenses.

Authorities were told of messages Comer sent to Koah’s mother in which he reportedly threatened to keep the child or gain custody, said he felt like killing himself and said he planned to move to New York.

On Monday, the boy was being cared for by Comer’s mother in Gaston, according to authorities. She left to run an errand, with another caregiver on the way.… ——- WRDW.com

Michael Comer is about to learn that South Carolina does not have the same “crazy intil proven sane” standard as Massachusetts.

For some reason the biological mother didn’t have the child and the boy was being taken care of by the offender’s mother?

Maybe the real mother is incarcerated, perhaps from the same incident this jailbird was?

Confusing and awful for the baby to start out life in this way.

A lack of respect for the father?

All the responsibilities and obligations to provide yet no authority to fulfill them.

When you have duties and obligations but no authority you’re a slave.

It’s a large part of why Western men have checked out on Western women and society. Western women are compliant dupes of anti-Western, anti-male bigotry and propaganda which fill their social media streams. They have been turned into Gender Marxist bigots.

The real Marxists are laughing at at the women -the bigoted, anti-Western misandrist dupes we call AWFULs.

No thanks.
