After initially reporting him missing, an Ohio mother has been charged with killing her 6-year-old son and disposing of his body in the Ohio River, police said.

Brittany Gosney, 29, has been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence in the death of her son James Hutchinson. Her boyfriend, 42-year-old James Hamilton, was charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Both were arraigned in Middletown Court on Monday afternoon, have bonds, and will remain in Middletown Jail until their next court date, Middletown Division of Police Chief David Birk said.

A search for the child was initiated, Birk said."It was a little unusual, because usually when you have a missing child, the first thing to do as the parents is they contact the police," Birk said.But under questioning, Gosney and Hamilton allegedly told detectives James was killed in Preble County"a few days" ago, according to a news release from Birk."The mother is not showing much remorse at this time," Birk said.

This breaks my heart

ouch! can't believe it, how cruel that mother was..

Terrible RIP

هذا طير من طيور الجنه يطير بسلام وامان

Omfg God save us

On ne peut pas mettre de j aime sur ce genre d annonce non je n' aime pas pauvre enfant repose en paix🙏que le seigneur te garde auprès de lui petit ange.quelle monstruosité !!!!

Topical white mother 🤷🏽‍♂️

Damn Damn Damn..She really was mad at the dad..May his little soul rest in peace

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!

Chair or chamber. Needle is too humane for those two.

Not everyone deserves to be a parent…

CNN has been unable to confirm if Gosney and Hamilton are Trump supporters.

Omg, death penalty case

Poor little chap.

Omg how tragic and horrific. The other children will be traumatized for life. RIP little one 💕 May justice prevail.

She deserves what she did to this little boy. An eye for an eye. I imagine his life was hell with this poor excuse of if human being...

I hope the woman suffers everyday for the rest of her life.

You should have to be licensed as a human & parent before you’re allowed to have children. I’d bet these two would have flopped. Terrible ending.

Give her the chamber

Sick sick people. Need help too!

🙏🏼😢

This was very sickening.

always OH.. or FL.. or FL..

Middletown is a shithole

Poor baby

As someone who spends a vast majority of time working in a hospital Emergency Dept., I'll say this: cps are more likely to be lenient to white and non-black parents in instances of alleged abuse. Stop giving white people the benefit of the doubt, That's why their kids are dying.

Some people really should not be allowed to reproduce.

The world is changing

This is horribly sad 😔. We are more likely to suffer abuse, harm, and death from someone close to us. The “stranger danger” narrative pushed on us as children never prepares us for being alert around our own family, friends and acquaintances.

I mean just look at them

Very sad

What in the actual funk.... this is beyon words. RIP little guy.

White privileges. No charges ..

Sorry I read that.

Why do these situations nearly always involve weird looking boy friends?

What the fuck is wrong with people

I wonder if they'll get the 'Casey Anthony Treatment'?

She had to be on CPS radar. CPS and foster homes need to be investigated. I'm not sure the other two kids are any safer in foster care. Shame on parents that don't love and protect their children.

Jesus 🙄that’s bad

Not sure what kind of monster you need to be to kill their child. She deserves a special place in hell for that.

Just sickening. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was financially motivated.

In a better world, we all should be free to have children; we do not live in that world.

Children deserve love from their mum and not this... 😔😔 The world is really turning into something else... RIP little fella

Unreal

مشجع زملكاوي يبنفعل بشده فى المقصوره بعد مباراه وادى دجلة ويقولهم حرام عليكم إحنا كل سنه هانقعد نتفرج على الاهلي وهو بياخد الدورى

How could they do that? Let alone to your own blood. The world isn’t a better place anymore. 😔

This is absolutely horrifying. That poor wee baby.

😭

That's terrible 😔

Imagine the horror this child had lived through, and still he can muster a smile. Poor little boy. RIP.

Poor little kid! So sad.

The same thing literally happened in my town. The mother was worried her bf was going to leave her because of the kid so she drowned it.

how she could do that? The person that I love the most is my son... I will neve hurt him, never.

What a heartless mother!

Society is to blame

MAGA

Such a sweet smile - those 2 animals need to be hog tied and thrown in to the river on the coldest day or the year. Let them see if they freeze to death or drown. Either way - hell is downstream for these 2. Death Penalty is my vote here. No reason to give them any air to breath

Sad

U have to be completely mentally insane to hurt a child.

CPS was already involved. Once again our system fails us

KendallRaeOnYT

Dovewoman1 The hell that kid went through

People are fuck crazy kill kid very sad we live USA

They literally let anyone make babies

She’s a monster of a mother

😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

This is very painful. Why did she do it? Children deserve a mother's love not hate.

No values in USA !!!

😳😳A Mother? What a Monster...

The world is sick indeed

🥺☹
