Family of boy, 3, who died after being dumped at NYC hospital begs mom to turn herself in

The grief-stricken family of a 3-year-old boy who died after being dumped at a Brooklyn hospital over the weekend is begging the tragic toddler’s mom to turn herself in as cops continue a widespread manhunt.

Kyng Royal Foster was identified by loved ones as the toddler pronounced dead shortly after his mother, Sunshine Davis, 24, and her 38-year-old boyfriend allegedly abandoned him at University Hospital at Downstate on Saturday morning.

“I just want to say, Sunshine, if you’re seeing this baby, turn yourself in,” the boy’s godmother, Sabrina Johnson, pleaded during an interview with PIX11 outside the hospital on Monday.

“It’s easier for you to turn yourself in and explain yourself, versus them finding you.”

The NYPD launched a manhunt for the still-at-large couple after they were last seen making a beeline out of the hospital shortly after allegedly dumping the unconscious boy just before 11:30 a.m., law enforcement sources said.

The boy was covered with what initially appeared to be bruises but investigators are still trying to determine if the toddler was badly beaten up — or if he was showing signs of lividity, which is when discoloration starts to set in after death, cops and sources said.

“It’s hurting me. I don’t know what to do right now,” the boy’s grandmother, Kanyatta Foster, told the outlet.

“I don’t have any more grandkids.”

“It’s a sad situation that the life of a 3-year-old is gone,” his godmother added. “We’re going to miss him.”

It comes after sources revealed the boy’s maternal grandmother had applied for custody of him in 2022, claiming his mom allegedly had a drug problem. 

A judge, though, didn’t grant custody to the grandmother, the sources said.
