Haleigh Anne-Marie Cummings was born August 17th, 2003  a Leo to Ronald Lemyles Cummings and her mother, Crystal Diane Sheffield in Jacksonville, Florida.  Ronald would have been 21 years old at the time of Haleigh’s birth and her mother was only 16.  Although the couple never married, they would have two children together before separating in 2005, with Ronald Cummins Jr being born on February 15, 2005.  
Cummings, was from Houston, Texas.  Being raised in one of the many socioeconomic-challenged communities within Houston, Cummings was negatively impacted by limited access to quality education, he lacked economic opportunities and positive community resources and as a result turned to criminal activity at a young age in an attempt to escape his conditions.  Sheffield would have found some source of security in Cummings and supported his criminal behavior and participated in his criminal activities and most likely became addicted to drugs in the process.  
Unfortunately, Haleigh was born with Turner Syndrome.  Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females and is characterized by the absence or partial absence of one of the two X chromosomes.  The syndrome can lead to a variety of physical and developmental traits, which can vary widely among individuals. Some common features of Turner Syndrome include short stature, a webbed neck, a low hairline at the back of the neck, and a broad chest with widely spaced nipples. Other potential characteristics include heart and kidney abnormalities, reproductive issues (such as infertility), hearing problems, and certain learning disabilities. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical care are important for managing the symptoms and potential health issues associated with Turner Syndrome. Hormone therapy, growth hormone treatment, and other interventions can help address some of the physical and developmental challenges. Supportive care from medical professionals and a strong social support system can also contribute to an improved quality of life for individuals with Turner Syndrome. In 2005, while separating from Sheffield, Cummings filed for custody of both Haleigh and her brother, after Sheffield failed to take Haleigh to more than 12 medical appointments that she critically needed to treat her Turner’s Syndrome.  At the time, Sheffield had an injunction against her for domestic violence against a child and admitted to using cocaine.  Full custody of both children was awarded to Cummings when Sheffield failed to show up at the hearing; a notice that Sheffield would later state was mailed to
