Kyng Davis was just 3 years old.

Instead of being safe at home, he was abandoned at a hospital, with his tiny body covered in bruises.

Investigators are now piecing together what happened and whether authorities missed warning signs.  

Kyng’s mother’s boyfriend, 38-year-old Robert White, is facing felony assault charges tied to an alleged incident weeks earlier.

White’s cousin told police he repeatedly slapped Kyng in the face “while he was crying hysterically and complaining of pain.”  

NY1 reached out to White’s attorneys but has not heard back.

The assault charges only came after the child died.

So far, no one has been charged in connection Kyng’s death.  

According to the New York Times, both child welfare officials and police had opportunities to intervene long before Kyng died. The news outlet reports the city’s Administration for Children’s Services had a case file on the family, and that a neighbor had called 9-1-1 in December after hearing a child being beaten.

Officers responded but never saw Kyng, according to the New York Times. The officers also never went inside the apartment, and are now under review.

The NYPD has not responded to our request for comment.

ACS has not commented on its case with Kyng and his family.

In a statement, a spokesperson wrote, “The safety and well-being of New York City’s children is our top priority. We are investigating this tragedy with the NYPD.”

Naomi Riley, a child welfare author and expert from the Manhattan Institute, said during an interview on “The Rush Hour” that the in case, the medical examiner hasn’t determined exactly how Kyng died.

She said it’s “pending further study.”

As investigators await those results, his death has renewed a focus on the agency meant to protect the city’s most vulnerable.
