The child was discovered near the shoreline of Reeves Lake about 3:30 p.m., about half an hour after the child’s mother, 30-year-old Shanique Kedine Henry, called to report him missing, police said. A devastated Henry answered her apartment door Thursday afternoon, but said she wasn’t ready to speak about the incident. She confirmed her son’s name was Josh, the youngest of her three boys. “He was my baby,” Henry said, fighting back tears. The grieving mother, whose husband did not come to the door, said they were in the process of making funeral arrangements for their child. Officer Chuck McPhilamy, spokesman for Marietta Police, said first responders worked to resuscitate the boy for about 40 minutes. He was transported to Kennestone Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
