Cops are questioning the 19-year-old boyfriend of a Brooklyn woman whose 17-month-old foster son was found "clinging to life" on Friday. Little Kymell Oram, who was found unconcious and seriously bruised and has a broken rib, a ruptured spleen and other injuries, is in critical condition at Brookdale University Hospital. Foster mother Teyunna Cummings, 32, had left the child in the care of Kysheen Oliver and Cummings' friend told the NY Times, "She thought the baby was having a reaction to asthma. Then he coughed up blood."

According to the Daily News, when Cummings was questioned by the police, she "immediately pointed the finger at Oliver, her much-younger boyfriend," prompting a police source to say, "Now the blame game begins." Oliver, whose nickname is "Killer," has been talking to the police (the News says he went in without a lawyer while the Times says he did have a lawyer).

Cummings has a 10-year-old biological daughter and a 9-year-old foster child; her friend said that Kymell was born with a heroin addiction that that Cummings had "nursed him back to life" and was finalizing his adoption. The friend added, "That boy is her pride and joy. She loves him like you wouldn't believe. I've never seen a more caring mother." Still, one neighbor said she saw the toddler in the hallway, "Sometimes when the baby was crying they would leave the baby outside the door. He would hit his head against the door trying to get in. It was awful."
