WASHINGTON — A 3-year-old boy who was found dead in a swing being pushed by his mother in La Plata, Maryland, last week was caught in the middle of a court battle before his death, according to NBC Washington.
Ji-Aire Lee’s body was discovered Friday on a park swing that his mother had been pushing back and forth for hours — or even since the day before.
The child’s father, James Lee, says he fought for sole custody of his son, because the mother — 24-year-old mother, Romechia Simms — was mentally ill. His efforts were not successful.
“I have a stable home for him,” Lee tells NBC Washington. “I have a stable roof for him to be under, for him to have the life that he’s supposed to have.”

In cases of child custody, men have little to no rights. We are just a cash generating machine until the child reaches 18 and then even after that, you might be oblicated to pay for college. I fought for mine, but I only get them every other weekend, even though she left me for someone else and had cheated on me during the marriage. The system is totally against the man. There are some on welfare who use men to get them pregnant just to get more benefits in child support.
