Jeffrey Scott Meyers, Kirstie Hannah Flood's boyfriend, was charged with the unfortunate murder of 2-year-old Fallon Fridley in Sandy Springs, Georgia, on December 9, 2020. Although he was not believed to have physically harmed Fallon Fridley himself, he was present during the abuse that led to her death and failed to intervene or protect her. Flood pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including intentional murder, criminal murder, aggravated sexual battery, and making false claims. Meyers was found guilty of second-degree murder and cruelty to children and sentenced to 15 years in prison. The investigation uncovered Meyers' seeming friendly behavior prior to Fallon's death, but his refusal to act or protect her added to his legal liability. Meyers' conviction highlights the necessity of accountability in situations where people fail to prevent injury or report abuse they witness.
Sir, I’m not just trying to stick up for my fiance because it’s my girl and my baby and my mother and anything like that. This girl does not lay her hands on these children. I can tell you that. I promise you that. I’ve been a witness to this... To her being a mother to her daughter since she was one. And I’ve not seen her spank her not one time. So with these injuries, I don’t know what happened with Fallon. I love... We love Fallon. Like she’s our own little girl. Like, I can show you pictures where... we spent time with her like she was our own kid. So, well, this is completely baffling to me. I don’t know where that would come from or how or anything like that. I know that she was sick and her family or her father or stepdad was sick or whatever. That’s the only thing I know.

Jeffrey Scott Meyers
Background and Charges
Jeffrey Scott Meyers was implicated in the tragic death of a 2-year-old child named Fallon Fridley, which occurred on December 9, 2020. The incident took place in Sandy Springs, Georgia, at an apartment located on Monterey Parkway. Meyers was the boyfriend of Kirstie Hannah Flood, who was the child’s babysitter and a friend of the child’s mother. Following an investigation by the Sandy Springs Police Department (SSPD), both Flood and Meyers were charged in connection with the child’s death.
Details of the Incident
The police were called to respond to a medical emergency involving an unresponsive child. The child was later pronounced dead at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. An autopsy revealed that Fallon Fridley had suffered severe injuries consistent with blunt force trauma, leading to her death. These injuries included a skull fracture and multiple internal injuries.
Legal Proceedings and Guilty Pleas
On March 18, both Kirstie Flood and Jeffrey Scott Meyers entered guilty pleas for their roles in Fallon’s death. Flood pleaded guilty to several charges including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated sexual battery, cruelty to children in both the first and second degrees, false statements, and tampering with evidence. She received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Meyers pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Although he was not believed to have physically harmed Fallon Fridley himself, he was present during the abuse that led to her death and failed to intervene or protect her. His actions – or lack thereof – were considered significant enough for him to be held accountable under charges of second-degree murder and cruelty to children. Consequently, he received a 15-year prison sentence.
Investigation Findings
During the investigation, it was determined that Meyers had been present in the apartment when Fallon sustained her fatal injuries. Video surveillance footage showed him interacting with Fallon in a seemingly affectionate manner prior to her being found unresponsive. Despite this appearance of care, his failure to act when witnessing abuse contributed directly to his legal culpability.
The investigation also uncovered disturbing internet searches made by Flood shortly before Fallon’s death. These searches included phrases such as “I hit my child and feel guilty” and “What does it mean to have a sudden urge to beat a child that’s not yours,” indicating premeditated thoughts or actions regarding child abuse.
Conclusion
The case against Jeffrey Scott Meyers highlights issues related to accountability in cases where individuals fail to prevent harm or report abuse they witness. His conviction underscores legal principles that hold individuals responsible not only for direct actions but also for omissions that result in harm.
