On 07/22/2025 at approximately 0809 hours, I, Deputy McDonald, met with the complainant, identified as [WITNESS #1], and victim, [VICTIM #1], in the front lobby of the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office in reference to possible child abuse occurring at [20 BLOCK] Auburn Drive in Bartow County.
Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that her son [REDACTED BY AGENCY] has been coming back with injuries each time he stays with his father, identified as MACON ALEXANDER HUCKABY. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that when [REDACTED BY AGENCY] returned on June 30th, 2025, he had marks and scratches on his body from what he claimed was go-kart racing. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that when he came back from this most recent visit, which was July 11th through July 21st, he had bruises on and below his buttocks, which were black in color. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was scared to tell her what happened because he did not want Mr. Huckaby to get into trouble.
Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that he got spanked/beaten due to him dingdong ditching a house with a sleeping baby. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] told her that the spanking/beating occurred on July 20th. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that Mr. Huckaby requested an additional day with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] on the 20th, possibly due to the injury not healing. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] told her that Mr. Huckaby’s stepson, identified as [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also got spanked/beaten at the same time he was. Ms. [WITNESS #1] then stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] told her his black eye was caused while he was swimming. I looked at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and observed that his left eye did appear to be bruised.
I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if he wanted to talk to me about what happened, and he shook his head no. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] appeared to be nervous/scared about me asking him if he wanted to talk about what happened.
Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was scheduled to return to Mr. Huckaby’s residence on July 25th and stay until August 3rd, when he will be picked up for the open house at his school.
Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that she would email the pictures of the injuries to my email as soon as she could.
Report forwarded to Investigator Ventura for further investigation. All times are approximate.
