Whitney Purvis, who was on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, shared sad news about her son demise on June 2. Her son, Weston Gosa Jr., has died at the age of 16. She paid tribute to her late son on Facebook and shared several photos of Weston, some with her in them.
She wrote, “This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just dont understand.”
Grieving the loss of her son, she added, “Oh my baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling.”

Why did Whitney Purvis lost child custody?
Weston was born on April 2, 2009. His parents, Whitney and Weston Sr., were on the first season of 16 and Pregnant. They later had a second son, River, in 2014. After River was born, they broke up again.
Whitney was arrested for failing to pay over $18,000 in child support for her two sons, Weston Jr. and River. A judge found her in contempt of court, leading to a 48-hour jail sentence and additional monthly payments, according to TMZ report. These legal problems led to the lost of custody.
