Police in Brooklyn have identified the beaten 3-year-old boy left to die at a local hospital on Sunday as detectives continue a desperate search for the tot’s mother, whom they believe dropped him off.

Cops said Kyng Davis was unconscious when an unidentified woman dropped him off at SUNY Downstate Medical Center at around 11:30 a.m. on March 9. The woman who handed the lifeless child over to staff fled before she could be questioned.

Medical staff said Davis was unresponsive and had signs of bruising on his face and body. He was later pronounced dead.

Police now believe the woman who abandoned the boy was his own mother, believed to be 24 years of age. A man believed to be her boyfriend was waiting in a vehicle outside the hospital; they both sped away after the child was left at the hospital, sparking a massive police search.

According to an NBC New York report, family members say they have been unable to contact the mother, who has developmental issues and may be manipulated by her older boyfriend.

“She has the mindset, maybe if she were a 14-year-old. I feel like she’s being influenced by that man,” Hope Green, Kyng Davis’ great-aunt, told the outlet.

Both police and family members are urging the mother and her boyfriend to surrender.
