Baby cut from womb turns 1; a grandfather grieves

McKEESPORT, Pa. — Planning a birthday party is bittersweet for the grandfather of a 1-year-old who was cut from his mother’s womb.

Eighteen-year-old Kia Johnson died after she was kidnapped last year, bound with duct tape and her baby cut from her womb.

Forty-year-old Andrea Curry-Demis (DEE’-mus) is being held in a mental hospital until a judge can rule on her competency for trial.

Eric Johnson is waiting for justice in his daughter’s death. And while he struggles to cope with her death, he is raising her son, named Terrell Kian (KEE’-un).

He says he can’t wait to take Terrell fishing and camping. He says “I just wish my daughter was here” for it, too.

He plans a cake for little Terrell’s party, and maybe a clown.
