Toddler, choked by his father, has story with happy ending, new family

A horrific story from Ohio has a happy ending.

The saga started about a year and a half ago, when police arrested Trevor Casey after they say he choked his young son during a domestic dispute, WTOL reported.

Police said that Casey was mad at the children's mother so he picked up the youngest boy and choked him, then ran down the street with the boy in his arms, WTOL reported.

The child, Kingston, and his brother, Kevin, were put into foster care in March 2016 after their father was arrested.

Kevin had told his mother that Kingston was turning blue. That warning to his biological mother eventually lead to the arrest of their father.

The Martin family was granted foster status for the boys. Then the Martins found out that the boys' biological mother had given birth to a little girl and she had given up her parental rights. So they took care of Ka'Liah too, WTOL reported.

Now Heather and Brian Martin are no longer fostering the three children and have become their legal parents.

The Martin family has had a lot of changes this year. Brian and Heather are newlyweds, after getting married in February. They are also now officially new parents.

"Today God has put another miracle - 3 miracles - on me and I'm just beyond blessed and really it's emotional because we're a family. We're officially a family," Brian told WTOL.
