Savannah, GA, November 12, 2026 — A father in Lexington County, South Carolina, has been denied bond as he faces serious charges related to the alleged burial of his 11-month-old son. The infant survived the incident and was reportedly rescued from a buried dog crate.
Details surrounding the alleged incident emerged after a 911 call was placed by the baby’s grandmother. The grandmother’s call reported the infant missing, which authorities then investigated. The investigation led to the discovery of the child and subsequent charges against the father.
The father has been charged in connection with the alleged live burial. Information regarding the specific date of the incident, the father’s name, the mother’s name, or the exact timeline of events leading up to the alleged burial was not immediately available.
Following the charges, a bond hearing was held. The court denied the father’s request for bond, meaning he will remain in custody pending the legal process. The case is being handled by Lexington County authorities. Further details about the investigation, including the specifics of how the infant was found and the condition of the child at the time of rescue, were not provided in the initial reports.
The infant, whose condition at the time of rescue was not detailed, was reportedly found alive. The method of rescue involved retrieving the child from a dog crate that had been buried. The outcome of the legal proceedings against the father remains pending.
