How could someone do this do a little child, Just Heartbreaking, as a father of a 7 year old daughter, brought tears to my eyes! Where is the humanity? Society falling apart,

[alexlifeson]

I don't understand how someone can be such a cruel, horrible person 😞

Texas has the death penalty for cases just like this.

1:00 “Anytime there’s a child that dies it just hits you in your heart.” There was an young 22 year old son named Jaymes Rayl who was unjustifiably murdered by a SOAB middle age dad. The grey haired middle age dad in his 50s is a cruel and horrible person along with his 2 other female witch accomplices. It’s super duper scary that the monstrous Duckro dad and his 2 females are roaming the streets as we speak.

The most fear I ever felt was my 7 year old son was missing for 3 hours. This would be a thousand times worse.

Nothing in this world makes me more angry than knowing that children or animals are being abused or killed. This world needs to be over already, the evil deeds of mankind are worthy of the end of this life as we know it.

[Sigrafix]

This is truly horrifying.. How can anyone even think to do something like this.. What a nightmare for the parents.

This is one of those cases were the death penalty is truly deserved.

My heart goes out to the family 😢. Especially the mom, she will always be asking herself if she’d done this or the differently. It’s not her fault she cannot anticipate this tragedy!

Tanner Horner is going to quickly find out how prisoners feel about child murders

[tammykletecka]

Too many of these monsters in the world and our children ARE NOT SAFE!

Evil is everywhere so keep an eye on your children please, parents. They need you more than you think.

Hey congratulations to all the "online sleuths" who immediately had the stepmother convicted! God help us if any of you ever serve jury duty. 😑😑
