While authorities have taken steps to hunt justice for the infant boy, a lot of the case stays a thriller. Now, one particular person who was near the late little one is hoping to supply some solutions.
In a brand new interview with native outlet WSAV3 on Monday, Quinton’s babysitter Diana McCarta is talking out — and offering perception into Leilani’s parenting. Diana used to assist watch each of Leilani’s youngsters — Zayn, 5, and Quinton, almost 2. In the method, she claims to have witnessed many situations of negligent parenting, resembling when she noticed the younger youngsters within the pool alone. Describing an audio recording which was taken on the time of the incident, she shared:
“The audio recording that I shared was from my daughter’s phone. It was a recording of us finding the babies in the pool and my daughter calls me from work. I come straight home, we try to get Leilani to the door, there was nobody that answered the door. We didn’t know if she was gone or what. We brought the kids back to my house. A few minutes later Leilani calls wanting to know if we had the kids, we said yes.”
In the recording, a younger little one might be heard crying within the background whereas the mom rambles:
“And I told him, I said, I was like no. You think, you think, that we’ve had problems before, watch. Because all it takes is one (expletive) person with one (expletive) picture to make an (expletive) phone call…”
Yeesh. And as a reminder, this was supposedly after the infants have been discovered within the pool by themselves whereas the mom hid in her house! WTF. She has no proper to be upset when it was allegedly her negligence that would have put them in hurt’s manner. Jeez. Hear the disturbing clip (under).
The babysitter went on to elucidate how she and her daughter “always recorded” what Leilani mentioned and located this particular recording after the actual fact. Quinton’s grandmother Billie Jo Howell knew all alongside, too! Diana mentioned:
“No, I hadn’t shared them [with Billie Jo], but she knew that I was recording. I told her I was because Leilani could make Billie Jo believe anything.”
Whoa… As we reported, Billie Jo performed a pivotal position within the authorities’ investigation. This appears to point out why she was skeptical of her daughter’s story. Wow.

When it involves Leilani’s relationship with Quinton, Diana claims she by no means had a powerful connection to her son, remarking:
“It was loveless. To the other kids, she showed love. She showed concern. To Quinton, it wasn’t concern and love.”
When requested why this was, she continued frankly:
“I don’t know. She had stated that Zayn was her favorite. She said Zayn was her favorite and that she didn’t bond with Quinton, and you could definitely tell it.”
Oof. So unhappy. Elsewhere within the interview, the Georgia native opened up about how she discovered about Quinton’s disappearance, saying:
“I got up to go get food for my girls before I left for work. I got a text from Danny [Youngkin, Leilani’s boyfriend] asking me had I seen Quinton and I said: ‘No.’ I instantly called him, and he said that Quinton was missing.”
Her first thought was to go over and assist the household look, however they refused her assist:
“[Danny and Leilani] were standing there. I said, well he’s little. He hides in closets at the house. I said, he’s somewhere in your house. I asked if we could help them look and they did not want us to look.”
Definitely a suspicious signal… And it was one thing that involved Diana immediately, she mirrored:
“If that would have been my child or my grandchild, I would have wanted everybody to help me look for my baby.”
We suppose most individuals would have wished all the assistance they may’ve gotten, particularly from a trusted babysitter who knew the boy so properly! As we reported, Leilani was charged along with her son’s homicide in addition to concealing the demise of one other, false report of a criminal offense, and false statements or writings. She was taken into custody on November 21 and can be held within the Chatham County Jail. Thoughts? Let us know (under).
