Leon Lopez says he’s not a child beater

Lillian McCullock, a mother of twin boys, was outraged on Friday when her two year old sons were released from the K.H.M.H. after a week of treatment. McCullock claimed that kids were beaten by her common-law-husband, Leon Lopez, who was being sought by the police. Well, today Lopez came to our studios to give his version of the story and says McCullock is trying to frame him. According to Lopez, McCullock came to him to for assistance to find out what happened to her kids and when he could not help her, she blamed him for the incident. He also says she is falsely claiming him as her common-law-husband, but they only live in the same yard. Viewers may recall that Lopez’ ex girlfriend, Shian White is currently imprisoned for beating her daughter, Delsey White, to death. White also tried to pin that incident on Lopez, but later confessed that she was the one who hit the child. Lopez feels that McCullock is now trying to use that scenario against him.

“I tell she I noh do she kids nothing. But regardless ah dat, she come dah night deh and try tell me dat me beat her kids because she come and she find her kids look beat.

    things like these look rediculous on tv but maybe she wanted to be shown on the t.v, if the lopez is saying the truth he should sue her for difamation.

    Poor kids, however did it…must pay…Police pls investigate

    This is the opposite side of the coin, with his words against hers. The most important thing is the welfare of these children. This is the second time this mother has reported that someone has harmed one of her children. One wonders if these children welfare will now be subsequently monitored.

  4. Observer says:

    HA HA HA.. dis sistem. Well it is bold for Leon Lopez to step up to the media and de-frame himself especially from the first incident that happen with his ex. Of all this, the way those kids were even dress looks as if they are not be taken care of by the mother.

  5. Mr.Diamond100 says:

    All I can say is – whatever happened, there was no need for the aggressive acts that the children received!

  6. llcool j says:

    i personally blame the child protection system for what goes on with innocent childrens,where are these people who are responsible for making these children safe,they should not be blaiming the mother of those children,maybe she is under a lot of stress trying to bring up these kids,and leon lopez is making me start to think,is he all that innocent,is he trying to cover up somting why he went to the media so he dosent look suspicious,he was involve in similar incident before, so im bigining to wander too.
