Another Dead 2 Year Old
Another two-year-old Oklahoma child has died and allegedly at the hands of someone that was supposed to care for him.
The latest victim of alleged child abuse is Kelynn Eric Byrd, of Coweta, Oklahoma.
Reportedly the boy’s mother and her live-in-boyfriend Michael Hernandez, 23, got into an argument and the mother left to visit a neighboring apartment, leaving Kelynn and 2-month-old Ean with Hernandez.
One news media report indicates that Hernandez called the child’s mother telling her something was wrong. Other reports indicate the mother returned home to find something wrong. In either case it is apparent that when Kelynn’s mother returned home, she found the child injured and called 911.
Kelynn Eric Byrd was taken by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa where he was pronounced dead Sunday night.
Wagoner County authorities have arrested Michael Hernandez on a first-degree murder complaint. Allegedly Hernandez admitted he was very angry about his relationship with Byrd’s mother and started kicking the toddler repeatedly in the back.
The State Medical Examiner says that the child died from blunt chest and abdominal trauma and that his death has been ruled a homicide.
The family is trying to come up with money for funeral arrangements for Kelynn. A fund has been established at Arvest Bank. Those wishing to contribute may do so by contributing to the Kelynn E. Byrd Memorial Fund at any Arvest Bank location.

Why?
I wish there were some way I could have been there to shelter that poor innocent little boy. These crimes should be front page news for weeks on end with punishment at the harshest levels in order to educate these filthy demons on what awaits them if they dare harm a child. Hell is too good for this guy.
I know the firefighter who tried to save this little boy. The boys mother gave him Lortab for “his pain”. Apparently, this had happened before and she had given him drugs to put him to sleep. She knew what Hernandez was capable of and should be in jail with him.
Kelynn’s mother did NOT give him a Lortab! Being Kelynn’s Aunt, I was able to read the worst report ever, Kelynns medical exam..and NOWHERE in this report did it show any type of medication in his blood!!! Get your facts straight before you start running your mouth SUE!!
The bitch ADMITTED she killed her kid… dirty scum of a human being should rot in hell.. its on record that she admitted it and its provable.
