OnFebruary 10, 1993, Wanda Sutton gave birth to a baby boy, Tavish, in Atlanta, Georgia. Unfortunately, Wanda struggled with schizophrenia and had already lost custody of her three older children.
At just weeks old, Tavish was taken by the Department of Family and Children Services and placed in a foster home, while Wanda was sectioned for treatment at a mental health facility.
On March 6, Tavish had to be admitted to the Hughes Spalding pediatric unit at Grady Memorial Hospital. He successfully underwent minor surgery for an abscess and was left with a quarter-inch scar on his left buttock.
