That moment of terror when you lose sight of your child for a few seconds...and she manages 10 days? Nasty.

[marionmarino]

What a horrible way for a child to die. Alone, starving, in pain. The mother should suffer the same fate.

[JP-qxwb]

Every time I feel like a bad parent … I try to Rememebr that “mothers” like her exist. Absolutely unimaginable.

[jaemontgomery]

The pure terror that baby went thru wondering where her mommy was or where anybody was for that matter. This is so sad. I’m a mom, a first time mom, & my child is 16 months old. I couldn’t imagine any circumstance where this is even an option. And she went on vacation… SHE IS NOT CRAZY! Evil & crazy are 2 different things!

[jenn]

Leave her in solitary with no food or water for 10 days. Let her feel what her baby went through.

[AO-Love]

She's living it up, while her daughter is suffering. Evil & selfishness isn't a mental issue. It is a character & spiritual issue.

[SmilePrettyNeen]

There is something so inherently evil about deliberately leaving a child alone for 10days. This was not a mental health issue, this was premeditated murder. I am disgusted!

My father had a schizophrenia, a psychietric/mental disorder. But there is no single day that he left us alone in the house. He is always on guard. The day before he died (due to heart disease) he even cooked food for little sister so that she has food to eat and told our neighbor she dont want her to get hungry..

[fague]

She left a fully cognizant, aware, feeling toddler in a play pen and went on vacation. Premeditated murder. FIrst degree. Not manslaughter. Not negligence but malicious murder. A mother. That poor child. OMG. The pain and suffering that child must have endured. No food, no water. All alone. The horror of it. Rest in peace toddler. May you be in the arms of a loving heavenly world. So sad.

[MaxineAryee]

I can't imagine what this child had to go through..

[kiwigirljacks]

Just the thought of that baby crying and crying for days before death… my heart absolutely breaks at the cruelty 😢

[Sanity]

This is disgusting! What kind of monster could do such a horrible thing. I’m a mother of a 3 year old and I cannot fathom anything happening to my child. I love my child more than life itself. It’s heartbreaking. I know a lot of people with mental health issues. Everyone has problems, but we all have it in us to seek help, get support, make changes

[crookedhalo]

I feel physically sick thinking what that baby went through. God love her.

[jonahblack]

That’s unimaginable suffering that this child had to endure. Death penalty should be granted if the accusation is true. That’s simply too awful and wrong

[Heytiatia]

My heart hurts for that poor baby girl. I can’t imagine what she went through. 🕊️💕

[shjr]

As a 28 year old woman that does not have even one child yet, this makes me sad. Many women who actually want children and here we have monsters throwing out children left and right. they don't even deserve to be a called a mother.

[VioletJoy]

This is just so disturbing that I feel sick. That poor baby. I'm really surprised that no one heard her crying. Absolutely unconscionable. What a sick, twisted "mother".

[emilymorse]

The thought of that poor baby being alone for so long and what she had to have gone through makes me sick to my stomach! I’ve never wanted to beat someone so hard in my life!

[gloriacabrera]

This is the most cruel way to die! This is soul crushing. I’m so so sorry baby girl, you didn’t deserve this 😢

[skye]

10 DAYS???!! That baby cried itself to sleep every single day and night and that’s hard to think about. If you don’t want your kid, give it to the fire department, hospital, police, your family, your friend. Just ask for help!
