Pleading for justice

Cobb is now in custody, facing multiple felony charges, including second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children.

“This is a horrible and tragic event that should have never occurred, but because of negligence on this offender’s behalf, a mother has tragically lost a child,” said Chief Leslie Manahan, at Valdosta Police Department.

“I want to express our department’s deepest sympathy to the family.”

Kaimir Jones was the sole child at Cobb’s home when the tragedy occurred, though police noted that typically, the house cares for around 10 children on a normal day.

Kaimir’s mother, Adrianna Jones, is now pleading for justice and for her son to be remembered.

”My baby needs justice,” the single mother said tearfully in an interview with WLAB. ”Please promise me to keep my baby’s name alive. He deserves it.”

Valdosta Police Chief Leslie Manahan confirmed the investigation is ongoing, with key questions still unanswered — such as how the toddler was able to access and open the kennel.
