Man, this kid didn't have a chance

More Details Released In Toddler's Death

Before 23-month-old Cyrus Belt was thrown from a Honolulu bridge down upon the highway by a neighbour who may be mentally ill and a crystal methamphetamine addict, his life was already a shambles. His father is in a correctional facility serving a drug-related sentence. His mother has lost custody of the child more than once due to drug use, and her boyfriend was stupid enough to leave the child with a man who was apparently unhinged so he could work on his truck, since the grandfather was sleeping (he'd already wandered away once due to the latter).

The only blessing--if you can call it that--is that he died in the fall, not from having been struck by at least two vehicles, including a truck. I'm sure those drivers will have those moments burnt into their memory forever.
