NEW YORK (PIX11) \u2014 A mother is demanding accountability from city agencies, she says, who failed to protect her 2-year-old son<\/a>, who prosecutors say was severely beaten by his father in Queens.<\/p>\n The toddler, Maliek, is intubated and on life support at a Manhattan hospital after investigators say his father assaulted him in a drunken rage and failed to call for medical help.<\/p>\n More Local News <\/a><\/p>\n Investigators allege the child\u2019s father, Dayvon Morrison<\/a>, nearly beat him to death. Morrison was arrested on Tuesday in Queens, facing attempted murder and assault charges.<\/p>\n According to prosecutors, Morrison shared custody of Maliek and had the child with him last Friday at a Long Island City homeless shelter. A criminal complaint states that when Morrison woke up the following morning, the toddler was covered in bruises. Prosecutors say Morrison later told detectives that he must have hit his son, but did not remember because he was intoxicated.<\/p>\n Instead of calling for help, prosecutors say Morrison waited three days before bringing Maliek to his mother\u2019s home, where the child was barely clinging to life. An ambulance was then called.<\/p>\n Doctors found Maliek had suffered a blown pupil, a fractured pelvis, a lacerated liver, and severe brain damage, authorities said.<\/p>\n Maliek\u2019s mother, Cyndy Williams, said doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s too late,\u201d Williams said. \u201cYou all saw the signs. My son cried every time he had to go with that man. It\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
