The 20-year-old mom, who has not been named, was allegedly tortured by the child’s father, identified as Malachi Blaylock, 20, and Blaylock’s mother, identified as Yolanda Gilreath, 51, for five days straight after she stopped by their Rockville Centre home for a visit, according to police.
After being surprised at the door of the house by Blaylock, who had been staying at his mom’s apartment on Old Mill Court, the child was snatched from the woman’s arms and she was ordered into a bedroom.
The young man then shoved the unidentified victim to the ground and told her she couldn’t leave — yelling at her and punching her in the face and body at the same time, authorities said.
Over the course of the next five days, starting at some point last week, Blaylock beat the woman, stabbed her in the hand with a pair of scissors and threatened her with a gun.
She attempted to flee on numerous occasions, but to no avail. After each failed attempt, Blaylock would simply run her down and restrain her again, police said.
On Wednesday, Gilreath and her son moved the woman and her child to a house in Hempstead, where they continued to hold her against her will. After Blaylock left the apartment around 10 p.m. Friday, the victim was able to call her mother — who rushed over to the home to pick her up and take her to the hospital.

The pair faces charges of first-degree kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child, according to police.
In addition, Blaylock was charged with strangulation, assault, menacing and criminal mischief.
