Dennis Gardiner is the husband of Jennifer Long and Tyler Gardiner. The heartbroken father is demanding justice for his beloved baby boy.

Dennis Gardiner is a resident of Pensacola, Florida. He said he was unaware of his son’s death for several days. On top of that, he discovered the tragic truth through social media.

Gardiner said he is distraught and wishes justice would be served for his son.

“I am a Christian, but for what she (Jennifer Long) did to my boy, I hope they pull every bit of hair right off her head,” said Tyler Gardiner’s dad.

“She tortured him. She cut him first. When the grandfather arrived, he didn’t even attempt to get my son. Unfortunately, he was cut, but Tyler died because he (Tyler’s grandfather) never attempted to get my son,” added Dennis.

“Everyone in that d— area is a coward. They never once attempted to help a helpless young boy in the presence of a crazed adult woman brandishing a knife,” Gardiner continued.

The grieving father questioned, “What is this world going to that you can’t even help an 8-year-old?

Sadly, this is not the only son Dennis Gardiner has lost. He claimed he lost a son to a drunk driver in 1991 and is devastated to relive the same horror again.
