Father disappears with toddler
Child was once abandoned
A father is being accused of running away with his child whom he once abandoned.
The child, three-year-old, Shemory Thorne, was left in the custody of his aunt, Shelly Liverpool, after his
Bhevon Smith
mother passed away last year.
Liverpool explained that when her nephew was born, his father, Bhevon Smith, who was working in the interior, refused to provide financial assistance to raise him. She added that her sister would frequently plead with Smith for support since she already had three children to maintain.
“Every time she called him, he keeps saying that he didn’t collect any money and that he will come–but he never did,” Liverpool added.
She explained that after her sister was continuously pleading with the child’s father for him to visit his child, he eventually came a few times and the child learnt that Smith was his father and ‘got attached to him’.
The aunt said that when her nephew born ‘another man’ had to sign for him.
Liverpool lived at 595 ‘B’ Field Sophia with her family along with her mother and her sister’s children.
The woman explained that Smith had been admitted at the hospital some time in December and when he came out “he came to us and asked if the child can spend Christmas with him. We sent him since he (Smith) wasn’t well and then it was the baby’s first Christmas without his mother.”
According to the woman, since her sister’s death, her mother got attached to her sister’s children and now that Thorne has not returned home “my mother is sick with her pressure,” the woman added.
The aunt, along with the kid’s grandmother is now concerned since Smith does not have a home of his own.

They have tried their utmost to locate the two but every effort was in vain.
The family believed that the man is staying at his sister who resides somewhere in La Grange, West Bank Demerara.
A report was made at the Turkeyen and the La Grange Police Stations, and also to the Ministry of Human Service but there have been no answers as yet.
