Welp, that thing will die by the other inmates. Rest in peace innocent one.
She SHOULD BE SERVED LIFE SENTENCE.!!!
The other boy will still be traumatized, imagine laying next to your dead brother and not knowing maybe you will die soon
Imagine how much the boys suffered, such a terrible death.
She looks abusive
The USA has a Major PROBLEM WITH CPS…. In my country, they take kids away from their blood parents with only an anonymous tip, yet at least the parents get the chance of proving themselves and the children returning. It seems in the USA no matter who or what happens to the children, they believe the abusers first! It's a tragedy. I hope she's sentenced to life in prison, just like the life she took!
It’s sad these boys were doing as they were told
and did not seek help. Then again I could be wrong. As someone who has been abused, I know how hard it is to tell someone else when you are being abused.
The boys are Champions for all time.
I hope those parents get a long disturbing lifetime of what their actions have wrought.
If you cannot love another woman's child, don't be with someone who has children. There's no excuse for abusing a child
😢
Wasn't her husband a cop?
Kids are 8Xs more likely to die of maltreatment at the hands of non biological parents-foster-adoptive-step-etc
This is heartbreaking
Rest in peace little sweetheart 💕 she should never ever be released.
Yay Justice for Thomas. Now this monster needs to have the same treatment Thomas got in prison.
Put her in Siberia and let her freeze
Both of those men who were choking up and about to cry almost made me cry
Evil pure evil Put her in a freezer
Wtf is wrong with people? Why do this to this baby?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE? 🤬
Sickening
😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
If only we could make her face the same fate in the freezing California right now
😔🙏🏽💐
So sad as a father of 6 between me and my wife. It's ashame for a mother to do this. She was a small child once so I'm sure she remembers growing up all the good and bad it's sad how any parent could do this to a child especially someone of there own blood. They are suppose to protect and love.I just don't understand what's goen on in our country You read about stuff like this everyday..We need help it's starts with us to make a change especially for our youth
