The authorities in Copperas Cove revealed that during school hours, the boy’s mother and her boyfriend vacated the apartment. When the child returned, he was confronted with an empty home, devoid of any belongings or signs of his family.

In response to this unsettling discovery, police were summoned to the location after the boy sought refuge at a neighbor’s residence. The young boy informed the officers that his mother, Erica Renee Sanders, along with her boyfriend, Keven Dwayne Adams, had hinted at plans to relocate, though the timing was uncertain.

As detailed in an arrest affidavit, the neighbor provided insight into the couple’s troubling history, stating that they had previously expelled the boy from their home on multiple occasions. This incident adds to a concerning narrative, highlighting the challenges faced by the young boy in his domestic environment.

Officers managed to contact the couple by phone and were told the boy’s uncle was supposed to pick him up. When the uncle was contacted, according to the affidavit, he said he knew nothing about having to take the boy.

Police said when they interviewed Adams, he “complained at length” about the 12-year-old.

The affidavit stated that when child protective services contacted the couple, they refused to provide an address where they were staying.

It was 5 1/2 hours from the time the boy returned to find his home empty to the time when he, the couple and the police finally connected, according to the affidavit.

Copperas Cove police records indicated that Adams and Sanders were both arrested on charges of abandoning or endangering a child without intent to return.
