According to the authorities, the 2-year-old Florida boy, found dead after a five-day hunt, was left for dead by his own mother.
Police arrested Charisse Stinson, 21, and charged him with first-degree murder and child abuse on Tuesday, after his son's body, Jordan Belliveau, was found in a wooded area. .
Stinson admitted to having hit his child "in a moment of frustration" with a blow that made him hit his head against a wall in their home, according to Largo's police arrest statement. The injured boy then continued to worsen throughout the night and suffered epileptic seizures.

But instead of asking for medical help, Stinson took the child to a wooded area and let him die, the affidavit continued. She then strikes herself to create "self-inflicted wounds" that she later presented as a result of her encounter with Antwan.
An Amber alert was issued for Jordan the next day Sunday, a few hours after Stinson showed up at a hostel in the wee hours of the morning, appearing to be injured. She said she was stunned and thrown into a park by an unknown woman she called Antwan, who had given her a ride with Jordan. She had last seen the infant in Antwan's car, she told police.
But police said at a press conference on Wednesday that they thought the story was completely done.
"We do not believe that there was an Antwan," said Police Lieutenant Largo Randall Chaney. "All of this was manufactured by Ms. Stinson to help cover her alibi for what she had actually done."
During the five days, the authorities searched the child and questioned his mother. She changed hands several times based on the questions she asked and showed no remorse, Chaney said.
Just hours before Jordan's death, Stinson and his son were visited at home by a member of the Florida Family and Children's Department, who was investigating the family, Chaney said. The boy had already been in foster care, but had been returned to Stinson.
Jordan's parents have a turbulent history. They were both arrested on various occasions for violence against each other, according to court records in the possession of ABC News. During the last incident in July of this year, the argument between the two men was triggered after the father had taken their child to Stinson's residence to exchange custody fees and she did not want a child yet. .
For nearly a week, many law enforcement agencies, including the Largo Police Department and the Florida Police Department, have searched for water plans, examined images surveillance, deployed dog research teams and interviewed families.
The police claimed to have recovered "bloody items" in the apartment where Jordan and his mother lived, although they said they had no connection with the boy's disappearance.
