in the car, I've had it!

Jasper!

Jasper!

Fine, go ahead and scream, scream!

I'm gonna leave you here!

I walked away.

You should have seen his face.

I just needed a minute.

I walked to the corner,

and then the next corner.

I don't know how many blocks I walked,

I don't know how long it was.

Maybe half an hour, maybe more.

I was calming down, I was calming down.

It was hot.

I left him, I left him right

here in the sun to bake.

I didn't mean to,

I just needed a minute.

You'll tell them, you'll

tell them that I'll get help.

You'll tell them that I'll never do

anything like that again, right?

- Yeah.

- You'll tell them, Clare!

- Yeah, it's gonna be alright, Anna.

It's gonna be okay.

- Dear friends, it

is with great love and sadness

that we are writing to tell

you that little baby Charlie

passed away in our arms

on Sunday afternoon.

The E. Coli infection that

had been ravaging his system

proved too powerful an adversary.

Even if he had recovered

from the infection,

the damage to his brain and organs

would have put him into a vegetable state

for the rest of his life.

He was in great pain,

and his suffering was visible.

We decided as a family to

remove him from life support,

and let him go peacefully

back to the spirit world.

For the first time since his birth,

we were able to hold him,

and took turns until he was gone.

As parents, it was the most loving thing

we could do for him.

After he took his last breath,

a smile spread across his

face as if to thank us.

It was beautiful.

This has been an

incredibly difficult time.

And we thank all of you who have helped

even in the slightest way.

We feel very blessed to be part of

such a thoughtful and caring community.

Much love and thanks.

- Anna Coleman, you have been charged

with child endangerment.

Based on court findings we

have granted Jacob Coleman

full custody of Jasper Jason Coleman.

You will hereby lose

your rights as a mother.

You will be able to see your son

under guided supervision

for one hour a week.

- I'm really glad that

I'm looking after you now.

I'll try and do a better job this time.

- That'll be nice, Dad.

- Ready?

- Go fast, go fast.

- Let's go, buddy.

- Alright, baby.

- But you can't.

I love you, baby.

- Let's go, Jasper.

- I love you.

- Come on boy.

I missed you.

- Same time next week?

- We'll see.

- Daddy, I wanna go with Mommy.

Please, Mommy.

- No, we gotta go.

Okay? We're going home?

Alright.
