Grieving dad Trevor Gernon apologized for leaving twins Cash and Carter behind while he skipped town due to ‘legal problems’[/caption]
Monica Sherrod was watching four-year-old twins Cash and Carter when he was allegedly kidnapped.
Trevor apologized for leaving his twins while he left town due to “legal problems”, according to The Daily Beast.
Ashlee Marcoux, Trevor’s sister, told the Beast that her brother “wants to just say goodbye to his son and put him to rest, and this has just been really difficult to figure out.”
However, Marcoux claimed that Cash’s mother, Melinda Seagroves, is refusing to let him attend the service as she is blaming him for her son’s death.
“We feel like we’re in this stalemate, just stuck,” Marcoux said.
She went on to explain that this could cause a delay in the service as a funeral home told them “both parents have to give consent for funeral proceedings before they can even take a child into their care.”
Gernon has a warrant out for his arrest from a drug possession bust from six months ago, his sister told the outlet.
She claimed that he “just needed more time to get himself together and didn’t turn himself in and it just kept snowballing from there.”
The dad previously said that he and Sherrod had been “brought together” as both were single parents and he frequently asked her for advice.
Trevor thought it was in his kids’ “best interests” to remain with her so their routines would not be “disrupted.”

Trevor said he ‘failed’ in his job to protect Cash[/caption]
He said: “This choice I made with the best of intentions has resulted in the most horrific outcome.
“I have paid the most ultimate and painful of price for my poor judgment and I have to live with this devastation every single day.
“I will never forgive myself. If I could, I’d go back and do everything different. This is a nightmare that doesn’t go away when I open my eyes up in the morning.”
Trevor, who is emotional in the video, apologized and said he “failed” in his job as a dad to protect Cash.
He said: “To make matters worse, I have to fear for my freedom, as it is the goal of some to see me go to jail rather than grieve the loss of my little boy.
“All I want to do is have that one thing every parent deserves: to say goodbye and be with my son one last time before I return him home.”
Sherrod reportedly warned Brown ‘not to come around my kids’ just days before Cash was taken[/caption]

It comes after Sherrod reportedly warned Brown “not to come around my kids” just days before the four-year-old was allegedly kidnapped.
She told a reporter: “I told him ‘Don’t come back around my kids.’ “I was out grocery shopping when he was here. I’d left the twins with my boys and daughter.”
Sherrod told the Daily Mail last week: “I loved those boys. They were not even my biological boys. I brought them into my home. I had made this room for them.”
“I haven’t touched a thing,” the mom said while mere feet away from Cash’s white bed, which, along with his brother’s, was “unmade.”
After watching the chilling footage reportedly showing Brown barge into the boys’ room and abduct Cash, Sherrod said she’s reliving the trauma.
She said: “It’s breaking my heart, but I know I have to confront this.”
