Dunn, N.C. One young man mourns his 4-year-old son while another sits in jail, accused of the abuse that claimed the child s life.
Tracey Jackson said that he had custody of his 4-year-old, Jaylen Boykin, two years ago and had been living in Delaware.
Jackson says that his son s personality was adorable. Everybody that met him fell in love with him. He was a character. He really was. He was like an adult in a child s body.
At the urging of the Harnett County Department of Social Services, he agreed to let his son spend some time with his mother, Kimberly Boykin.
