Toth told detectives on July 17 that her father told her to seek medical help for the toddler, but she didn't. Toth told investigators she and Jayce had moved into the Bethune Drive home several months ago. When asked about the bruising on her son, Toth said her son had "awful balance and regularly ran into things." The medical examiner also noted that had Toth sought medical care for her son he could have made a full recovery. Investigators said they believe Toth didn't seek help for her son because Pursglove told her not to.
