Man who fought for custody of his son for almost a year gets the devastating news he had been dreading

Dillon Wyckoff who had been in a year-long
custody battle over his two-year-old son,
Mason Wyckoff got a tragic news on Friday
that his little boy had passed away
possibly at the hands of his mother.
Emergency crews were called to his baby
mama's apartment where they found the
deceased toddler alongside his unconscious
mother, Stephenie Erickson.
He told the Des Moines Register:
“He was everything in my world. She
had threatened and threatened to do
it, and she did it to hurt me. They
haven’t proven anything yet, but I
know down deep that’s what
happened.”
“It’s been a year-long battle with all
this stuff, and it’s been going
downhill…We prayed and prayed it
wouldn’t be this.”
Mason’s grandmother, Michel Cunningham,
said they had lived in fear for months on
end, worrying about Erickson’s mental
stability especially after she told Wyckoff he
would “never see his son again”:
“I tried contacting DHS (the
Department of Human Services). We’ve
dealt with over seven different police
departments for over a year. They kept
telling us that we had to wait for
‘something to happen.’ And look at
what did.
Erickson who was found unconscious beside
her 2 year old son was taken to a local
hospital and remains in serious condition,
though it’s not clear what injuries she
sustained or how she got them.

Erickson’s neighbor said she’d “sit outside
and smoke and cry” and never really talked
to neighbours,
Wyckoff said of his son, Mason:
“He was always fun, always doing
something. He was just getting to the
age where I could start doing fun stuff
with him, I was looking forward to a
lot, a lot of fun. What we had is what
we had, I don’t regret any moment of
it.”
Amid an ongoing investigation into the
incident, Wyckoff is certain that Erickson
killed him.
