They also reported the case to the Child Protective Services. “She started explaining to the judge that the doctors stated my son would never walk. And then she stated that he had problems continuing to eat and that he’s going to need a feeding tube. I was horrified. Because from what I knew, my son was fine. He just needed – not even extra care – he was fine," said the boy's father Ryan Crawford.

Christopher’s father, Ryan Crawford has not been in relationship with Kaylene Bowen for many years actually tried to inform the authorities that she was faking her son’s illness. “I blame [myself] for the simple fact that if I was there from the beginning for my son, he would never have had to go through these issues,” he said.

“I tried over and over and over to convince people that my son wasn’t sick and that she was manipulating the system. It didn’t work. Nobody believed me. He could have died,” Crawford said. “Only God saved him.”
