A father, Dillon Wyckoff who had been in a custody battle over his two-year-old son, Mason Wyckoff believes that the mother of his child killed their son.
The tragic news came on Friday that his son had passed away. Emergency crews were called to his Mason's mother's apartment where they found the deceased toddler alongside his unconscious mother, Stephenie Erickson.
“He was everything in my world. She had threatened and threatened to do it, and she did it to hurt me. They haven’t proven anything yet, but I know down deep that’s what happened.”
“It’s been a year-long battle with all this stuff, and it’s been going downhill…We prayed and prayed it wouldn’t be this.”
Mason’s grandmother, Michel Cunningham, said they had lived in fear for months on end, worrying about Erickson’s mental stability especially after she told Wyckoff he would “never see his son again”:
“I tried contacting DHS (the Department of Human Services). We’ve dealt with over seven different police departments for over a year. They kept telling us that we had to wait for ‘something to happen.’ And look at what did.
Erickson was taken to a local hospital and remains in serious condition, though how she got injured is still unclear.
