TEARFUL MESSAGE Missing toddler's mom breaks silence & complains of protesters at her home Babysitter McCarta has now shared more details about the strange household after watching the boys for about nine months before Quinton's disappearance. She claimed her 16-year-old daughter discovered Quinton and Zayne, who can't swim, alone in the family's full-size backyard pool on a terrifying day this summer. ...I go down there, and they was in the pool and we got them out \- Leilani was sleeping,... McCarta said. ...It was scary....

They were dirty,... McCarta said. ...We fed them food because they were always hungry. ...Definitely, there was neglect there.... Following Quinton's disappearance, Leilani's two remaining children were taken from her home due to the court finding them in ...imminent danger of abuse or neglect." Court documents revealed by The U.S. Sun described Leilani as a "chronic, unrehabilitated substance abuser of cocaine and cannabis.... Leilani and Howell were spotted drunk on tequila after the FBI concluded the first day of the search for Quinton's body, WSAV also reported. Leilani was reportedly ...flirting... with the staff. CRUCIAL CLUE It comes after law enforcement emptied the family pool looking for crucial evidence that is still being tested and processed. Little information has been released by officials, and the public has blown up social media asking why Leilani isn't in handcuffs. Chatham County authorities maintain that while Leilani remains the sole suspect, she is not facing charges at this time. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer exclusively told The U.S. Sun that she believes officials are analyzing evidence to make a strong case before taking in the widely criticized mother. She said that checking phone records and any evidence collected from the pool could prove crucial. ...They're not done with the investigation yet,... the experienced field agent said. ...They have one opportunity to charge someone and make those charges stick to get a conviction. ...Right now, it's all circumstantial. They're likely going through phone records, searching for the body, and waiting for forensic test results before making an arrest. ...They want to have all the evidence first.... Law enforcement will likely also check doorbell cameras and any surveillance cameras, particularly around garbage disposals, Coffindaffer said, after the boy's grandmother Billie Jo Howell told local reporters that officers believe the boy's remains are in a landfill. She has since deleted her social media accounts and couldn't be reached by The U.S. Sun. ...If I'm on the case, I'm checking every trashcan in that area. There's a lot of work still to do in this case,... said Coffindaffer, who added that prosecutors can get a conviction without a body. Police believe Quinton's body was left in a dumpster in Georgia and have been searching a landfill for his body for days. ...HIGH AS HELL' Quinton's grandmother had another terrifying theory as to what happened to her poor grandson, saying she believes he drowned in the bathroom after his mother got high and left him there. Billie Jo Howell reportedly made the claim in an 11-minute phone call with the missing child's father Henry 'Bubba' Moss. According to Daily Mail, Billie Jo reportedly said in the recording: "I feel, honestly and frankly, Bubba, I'm not going to lie to you, I feel like there was an accident. "I feel like something happened while Quinton was in the bathtub, and he drowned, and they were both high. That's my theory." When Quinton's dad told her on the phone that they ...should have just gone to the police if something like that happened,... Howell added: ...If you're high as hell, man, you do stupid s**t.... Leilani Simon, the boy's mother, is the prime suspect in the toddler's presumed death. According to police, Leilani's boyfriend, Danny Youngkin, was the last person to see Quinton at around 6am. It wasn't until after 9am that Leilani reported him missing. ...They asked did I have him and when was the last time I was in Savannah,... Bubba said of being questioned by cops after his son's disappearance. ...They told me Leilani said I came and got him overnight.... The massive search for Quinton has entered its third week, and McCarta said that she and her family are heartbroken through it all. ...He's a loving baby,... she told Fox News Digital.
