There are many videos of the child playing. What a sweetheart. I read in a blog that the mother said the father had many videos of him online. Now I can't find the blog that said that.

The names match...Bryce and the mother is Jocelyn. His birth video is up also.

Edit...found the blog where I read it.

"What's more, she said, the boy's father posted a video on YouTube of the baby standing up in a grocery cart, and has posted other videos of him climbing stairs by himself.

Jocelyn Barros had told Hollywood police about her concerns, and they referred her to DCF.

After visits with his dad, Jocelyn complained, Bryce's eyes "don't hold happiness.''

But the mother's concerns, too, were dismissed -- though, apparently, after some greater consideration.

Laura Johnson, a special projects coordinator, wrote a May 11 e-mail to bosses. Jocelyn Barros had called, discussed her concerns for the baby, and asked why the judge's faxes had all been ignored. "What is the protocol for this type of order?'' Johnson asked.

"This is a custody issue,'' was one reply.

Caseworkers did not walk away entirely, though. They say they sent Jocelyn Barros a form letter, offering help from food banks, clothing closets, adult day care and Meals on Wheels. And a phone number for a domestic violence shelter. Jocelyn Barros says she never received the letter, and DCF says the agency no longer has a copy of it."
