Then Robinson said, "I rolled up her sleeve, and I saw a welt, and I said, 'Who did this to you? " and she said, 'They say they're going to kill me.'
"I said, 'Who's going to kill you?' and she started crying.

"I said, 'That's why you wish your mommy and daddy were dead?' and she said 'yeah.'

I had a very difficult time reading this article, especially towards the end where it talks about this retired man confronting the father, hiding the girl behind him. When the girl went to her mother and inside the house - he says that is the last time he saw her alive. He then asks "what could I have done?" But he has the girl telling him that she wishes her mommy and daddy were dead - and that they told her they would kill her - and he has seen her bruises, cuts, injuries - she showed them to him.

I wish he would have called the police immediately... I suppose he didn't realize she would really be killed. Such a horrible tragic story... my heart breaks that she suffered so much at the hands that those who were supposed to love her and care for her and protect her, before she went home to God.

It is tragic and disgusting. I had a friend in Utah who said a father in the neighborhood was finally arrested for beating his kids. My friend told me "I should have known, once the kid had a big bruise and I asked why and he said 'my daddy beat me'."

I was shocked and asked my friend (who is a really great guy and father himself) "well why the hell didn't you call the cops?". He just sort of looked a little distracted and said "yeah, you're right, I feel we sort of missed a chance, we probably should have.".

I guess for good people it's especially hard to make such an accusation, we're afraid of ruining someone's reputation.

Personally, when I see a big bruise, and especially multiple bruises, I'm calling the police! If it turns out to be nothing I can always apologize later.

He had seen the bruises on her painfully thin arms and legs, he had heard her stepfather order her to "get your f- - -ing ass over here," and he knew she was living in fear.

This idiot should have gone INSTANTLY to the police and called a child welfare emergency number. Some of the blood of this child is on this idiots hands.

I do to, but this man isn't to blame. Child Protective Services had been contracted many, many times and did nothing. The school tried to intervene, and was squashed.

The people who are responsible are the demon pig of a husband and his sow wife.

I hope they put to death her step father (a monster if there ever was one), and as for the mother, I predict she will claim abuse herself and offer to testify in order to save her sorry behind.

Yesterday, the NY Post said the mother saw a picture of her child in the newspaper while the mother was behind bars. She cried for herself, saying she wasn't to blame.

There were no tears for her little girl, just herself.
