Candice Dempsey lost her son Tuesday night when police say the boys father shot him then turned the gun on himself.
Dempsey says the child shouldn't have been with the father in the first place.
From the beginning Dempsey says her relationship with 28 year old Timothy Frazier was troubled.
She says, "I tried to turn him around, get him help. All I wanted was a happy family."
Dempsey says she can point to one day when things turned around, saying they were arguing in a car in Bardstown when Frazier became abusive.
When the matter was brought before a judge she says, Frazier claimed he was the one abused and Dempsey says the judge agreed with him.
Frazier had custody of 21 month old Cole, but Dempsey says she had the proof to get Cole back, the police report which shows she was the victim of abuse.
She says Frazier knew she had the proof and went to drastic measures to keep them apart saying, "If he wasn't going to have him than neither was I."
The two were found dead Tuesday night, both as a result of gunshot wounds.

my heart goes out to the family and as far as the court system i would slap a suite on them for this could have been prevented, ive been there and done that myself with the court system over 16yrs with my perpatraitor and its caused me an my three children to be homeless for allowing perpatraitors to come in and lie under oath and swearing under oath criminal complaints to where basically jessamine county threatened me if i did not leave it would be harder on me just because they knew i investigated them myself of all the unjust done to me and my family, i contacted wkyt to give this mother my name and number for i myself is going to pursue legal help on my situation of the courts, i feel this young mother needs to do the same for the lose of her child..

I knew her somewhat and what I did she was a very nice girl. Cole should have never been alone with the dad. I cant imagine how she feels now. She already lost her best friend and then now her adorable little boy. I dont see how anyone can look at a child and do something like that. I know he did it to make her hurt but that is something you cant take back. Candice my prayers go out to you. I know you have been through a lot and I know are you are strong. As far as you talking bad about her apparently have never lost anyone and have no heart. So quit trying to blame her or making her feel even worse.

YES, I AGREE THE FAMILY COURT SYSTEM IN KY IS VERY FLAWED. WHEN THE SOCIAL WORKER CAN WALK IN YOUR HOME AND TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF BED YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE IN TO BEIN PREJUDICED WHEN THE CHILD IS BIRACIAL, TO HAVING WWORKERS THAT ARENT EVEN MARRIED AND HAVE NO CHILDREN TELLING YOU HOW TO RAISE YOURS TO FORCING A MOTHER TO GIVE UP ONE CHILD TO KEEP THE OTHERS. THE ONE SHE HAD TO GIVE UP HAD A SMALL CHILD SO THE STATE OF KY TOOK A YOUNG MOTHER OUT OF HER INFANT CHILDS LIFE AND PUT HER WITH ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS A BIG MESS. THE YOUNG MOTHER WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE ALONE WITH HER CHILD BECAUSE THE DOCTOR SAID HER MIND WAS OF A SEVEN YEAR OLD. THIS PERSON FINISHED HER HIGH SCHOOL,HAD A JOB AND ALSO MADE HER DRIVING LISC. I FEEL HER RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED BY THE STATE OF KY AND BY THE ONES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THEM.I HOPE THAT THE JUDGES AND ANYONE THAT IS INVOLVED IN FAMILY COURT WILL TAKE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT NOT WHAT IS QUICKEST.
