The saddest part of this story is that a child is dead. Over spilled
yogurt.
The second sadest part is that cases like this one cause DFS to take a
stance against kinship care. (and who could blame them when things like
this happen? it would seem that a child is no safer with family than with
strangers).
I'm pleased that she was convicted. There must be something wrong with the
thought processes of anyone who could so brutally beat a child of three, but
to beat the child to death...and two people doing so together? It's got to
be a mental illness. Knocking a three year old child six feet across a room
is NOT discipline that went bad. Three year olds spill food and drink all
the time, anyone who has ever had to raise a three year old knows this and
should reasonably expect it. To become so enraged over spilled yogurt tells
me that both these 'adults' have criminal minds.
To further that, when the cousin tried to give the child CPR and call for
medical help and the aunt hindered his efforts shows that she had no remorse
for the damage that she had done to the child, and no intention of caring if
the boy lived or died. I'd call her a bitch, and her 'man' a ******* but I
think those words are simply too good for them.
