LARGO — The mother of a 2-year-old whose body was found in a wooded area Tuesday night admitted to hitting the child, causing seizures and resulting in his death. 
 
 According to the arrest affidavit, 21-year-old Charisse Stinson told police during questioning that she struck 2-year-old Jordan Belliveau in the face "during a moment of frustration" after the child suffered an "unexplained, serious injury" to his right leg. 
 
 She told police she struck the child in the face with the back of her hand Saturday night, causing his head to strike a wall in her home. 
 
 The blow caused the child to have seizures during the night, according to the affidavit. 
 
 As the child’s condition deteriorated on Sunday, according to the report, Stinson took the child to a wooded area during the night and left him there. 
 
 Injuries found on the child’s body are consistent with Stinson’s statement, according to the affidavit. 
 
 Stinson is being held without bail at the Pinellas County Jail and faces a charge of first-degree murder. She is scheduled to have a first appearance in court today. 
 
 Stinson’s arrest ended a two-day search for the child, who was reported missing Sunday morning when she first called 911. 
 
 For more than 60 hours, police scoured nearby woods, divers searched ponds and investigators hauled away dumpsters around the mother’s apartment. 
 
 Police released a sketch of a man the mother claimed had offered her and Jordan a ride Saturday night, then struck her in the face. She told police the next thing she knew, she woke up in Largo Central Park and the child was missing. Police released a gas station surveillance video of a possible witness in the case. 
 
 The child’s body was found late Tuesday afternoon in the woods east of Lake Avenue NE and McMullen Road, behind a baseball field at the Largo Sports Complex.

 Police: Mother faces murder charge in death of 2-year-old Jordan Belliveau 
 
 Amid strife, missing boy’s father says he doesn’t believe mother’s story 
 
 Largo police release sketch of man sought in disappearance of 2-year-old boy ||||| - Law enforcement officials announced Tuesday night they arrested the mother of a toddler whose body was found in a wooded area in Pinellas County. 
 
 The 2-year-old went missing over the weekend - and was the subject of an Amber Alert and massive search of the Largo area. 
 
 Largo police announced early Tuesday evening Jordan Belliveau had been found, but did not say if he was alive. In a press conference later that night, they said the toddler was found deceased and his mother was to blame. 
 
 Officials arrested and charged 21-year-old Charisse Stinson with first-degree murder in the death of her son. 
 
 Jordan's uncle, on the little boy's father's side, Stephon Davis told reporters he and his family suspected Jordan's mother was behind whatever happened to the little boy. 
 
 “We honestly knew it was her because of her past with us,” Davis said. 
 
 Meanwhile, family members gathered at a scene that was roped off by police. 
 
 FOX 13's Haley Hinds reports Jordan Belliveau's family became emotional after speaking with police at the scene, which is Lake Avenue and McMullen Road, on the north side of the Largo Sports Complex. 
 
 Largo police later confirmed that was the location where Belliveau's body was found, putting an end to a search that began early Sunday morning when Stinson reported her son missing. 
 
 Police said Stinson told them she accepted a ride Saturday night around 9:30 p.m. from a man named Antwan, in a white Toyota Camry, in the area of East Bay Drive near Belcher Road. 
 
 She said there was an altercation and she was knocked out. Four hours later, she told police she regained consciousness in Largo Central Park and her son was missing. 
 
 She told police she accepted the ride because she had a long walk ahead of her and Jordan was becoming too heavy to carry. 
 
 The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued an Amber Alert Sunday. Family members and volunteers climbed through bushes and scoured Largo Central Park Monday, searching for any sign of Jordan. 
 
 Police also released a sketch of Antwan, who was described as having dreadlocks and gold teeth. 
 
 "I just want everybody in the community to keep ahold of your kids. Don’t get in strange cars. I’m glad we got justice. I’m not sure if it’s Antwan, if that even exists, but if he [does], I hope he gets justice,” Davis said. 
 
 However, police said Antwan does not appear to exist. 
 
 Earlier Tuesday, Largo police released a video of a man at a 7-Eleven on East Bay Drive who they say may have spoken with Jordan's mother just after midnight Sunday. It was unclear if police were still searching for that person. 
 
 Davis said a vigil was being planned for 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Highland Recreation Complex at 400 Highland Drive NE in Largo. ||||| When Charisse Stinson reported her 2-year-old son missing in the Tampa Bay area of Florida on Sunday, she told the police that a man who had offered her a ride had beaten her unconscious and taken her child. 
 
 But Ms. Stinson, 21, later admitted to leaving the child in a nearby wooded area after she hit him in frustration and his “health declined,” the police said in an arrest affidavit. The boy, Jordan Belliveau, died, and Ms. Stinson was arrested Tuesday and charged with aggravated child abuse and first-degree murder. 
 
 In the affidavit, the police said that Ms. Stinson admitted growing frustrated with her son after he hurt his leg and hitting him in the face with the back of her hand early Sunday morning. The boy’s head hit the wall, and he started having seizures. 
 
 Eventually, Ms. Stinson decided to leave him in the wooded area in Largo, near Lake Avenue and McMullen Road, according to the affidavit, where his body was found. The police said the boy’s injuries were consistent with Ms. Stinson’s admission, and called off an Amber Alert for the child on Tuesday after his body was found. ||||| LARGO, Fla. — The mother of a 2-year-old Largo boy, who was the center of a statewide Amber Alert, has been charged with murder in the death of her son. 
 
 Officers arrested 21-year-old Charisse Stinson and charged her with first-degree murder in the death of Jordan Belliveau. On Wednesday, a judge ordered her to be held without bond. Stinson will also be appointed a public defender.

 The report alleges Stinson, "in a moment of frustration," struck Jordan in the face with the back of her hand "which in turn caused the back of his head to strike an interior wall of her home. After the blow to the head, the victim suffered seizures during the night, which lead to further decline [in his health], resulting in his death."

 The report goes on to state that Stinson did not seek medical help, but rather took her son to a wooded area and left him to die. Authorities say Jordan's body had injuries matching what Stinson told them happened. 
 
 According to police, initially Stinson told them that she was walking on East Bay Drive with Jordan around 9:30 p.m. Saturday when they were offered a ride in a white Toyota Camry by someone they did not know who told them his name was Antwan. 
 
 She then told police that once inside the car, "Antwan" struck her in the face multiple times, causing her to lose consciousness. She claimed that she didn’t regain consciousness until around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, when she awoke in a wooded area at Largo Central Park to find Jordan missing. 
 
 During a news conference on Wednesday, investigators said they no longer believe there was an "Antwan," nor are they looking for a white Toyota Camry. In addition, they believe Stinson's injuries were self-inflicted. 
 
 Her story prompted a statewide Amber Alert. Investigators even released a composite sketch of the alleged suspect, based on Stinson's description.

 When asked why she took the ride from "Antwan," Stinson told police it was because Jordan was kind of heavy and she didn't want to have to carry him all the way to her destination. 
 
 As the search for Jordan continued, ABC Action News learned authorities were at the Stinson's apartment on Sunday picking up evidence and trying to determine when was the last time Jordan was there. 
 
 Police later told ABC Action News they discovered bloody children’s items inside of the apartment. On Monday, they took those items into evidence but said they were not certain if they were connected to Jordan’s disappearance. 
 
 Jordan’s mother told investigators her son cut his chin and recently received stitches for the injury. Detectives also took a few items of children’s clothing into evidence Tuesday which were found rolled up in a rug outside of Jordan’s mother’s apartment. 
 
 Stinson was arrested shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and charged with First Degree Murder in the death of Jordan.

 ABC Action News reached out to Jordan’s father, who was too distraught to speak with us. 
 
 "I can't speak on how my brother feels because I never lost a child. I just know my brother is devoted right now," said Stephon Davis, the child's uncle. "I just want my nephew to be laid in peace and his mama and whoever involved in this, justice.” 
 
 Digging into court documents, ABC Action News discovered that Stinson and Jordan's father had a history of domestic battery. A Largo arrest report from July stated that Jordan's father drove the boy to Stinson's home, to exchange custody of Jordan. According to the report, Stinson "did not want the child yet," which caused an argument that became physical when the father punched Stinson. 
 
 The Department of Children and Families could not release any information on the case, saying in part, “The loss of this child is profoundly saddening. We are actively working with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the Largo Police Department during the course of their criminal investigation. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office conducts all child protective investigations in Pinellas County, not DCF.”
– Police searched woods, divers searched ponds, and a sketch of an apparent suspect spread across social media. All this in the 60 hours after Charisse Stinson reported her 2-year-old son missing early Sunday, claiming he'd been taken by a man who offered her a ride before knocking her unconscious. But there was no "Antwan" in a white Toyota Camry with dreadlocks and gold teeth, according to police, who arrested 21-year-old Stinson on first-degree murder charges Tuesday, reports the New York Times. Hours after Stinson told Spectrum News she was "a damn good mom," the body of Jordan Belliveau was discovered in a wooded area behind a baseball field in Largo, Fla., and police say his pregnant mother admitted to putting him there, per the Tampa Bay Times. Stinson said she struck the boy in the face, causing his head to hit a wall, "during a moment of frustration" after an "unexplained, serious injury" to his right leg, per an arrest affidavit. After the boy suffered repeated seizures, Stinson brought him to the wooded area Sunday and departed without him, police say. Describing Stinson as a "struggling single mother," police on Monday had noted that bloody items in her apartment might've been from an accident that required Jordan to get stitches. Despite that, "we honestly knew it was her because of her past with us," an uncle of the boy tells Fox 13. Per Spectrum News, Jordan was put in foster care at 3 months old but returned to Stinson in May. An autopsy of the boy is scheduled for Wednesday.
