Toddler allegedly beaten into coma by his demented druken dad at NYC shelter has died: ‘My baby is gone’

1 hour ago 3

A 2-year-old boy who was beaten into a coma at a Queens shelter — allegedly by his drunken dad — died at a hospital on Wednesday night, his heartbroken mother said online.

The tragic tot’s death came just hours after his father, 30-year-old Dayvon Morrison, was arraigned on attempted murder and assault charges for allegedly severely beating his tiny son at a shelter late Friday — and lugging him around Queens and East Harlem for three days before someone called the cops.

“My baby is gone,” grieving mom Cyndy Williams posted on Instagram. “2/4/2026 10:26 p.m. I have nothing else to say. I’m done.”

Law enforcement sources confirmed to The Post that the youngster, identified by his mother as Maliek, has died.

Prosecutors from the Queens District Attorney’s Office said in court that the charges against Morrison would be upgraded if Maliek died — and doubled down on the promise Thursday.

“Reiterating what was said in court yesterday by ADA Caitlyn Muldoon that if the child succumbed, we intend to submit upgraded charges,” an office rep said in an email.

The young victim was bruised and battered when he woke up at the shelter with his father on Saturday morning, authorities said.

Instead of seeking medical help, prosecutors said Morrison put the toddler in a stroller and roamed around before showing up at Maliek’s mom’s apartment in East Harlem — where a witness noticed the boy’s condition and called 911.

His dad allegedly told cops after his arrest early Monday that he did not remember if he beat his son — because he was too drunk at the time, prosecutors said.

“If you’re gonna put me in cuffs, that’s fine,” Morrison allegedly said. “I was drunk the other night.”

Muldoon said in court Wednesday that the child suffered “a blown right pupil, a laceration to his liver, pelvic fracture,” and had “multiple brain bleeds,” with swelling to his brain and a damaged brain stem.

He was on a ventilator at Weill Cornell Medical Center and “listed in likely-to-die condition,” prosecutors said during Morrison’s arraignment.
