Why? What did the cretin hope to gain from killing a toddler, and what made her think she wouldn’t get caught?

[House Atreides]

Looking at the eyes, only one if those two humans has a soul.

[Allegra]

Lord, have mercy.

[A strike]

Did she kill the child three times??

IDIOCY!

[alternatives?]

“rope, tree, hole”

No. Chipper.

[Az Joe]

I was trying to be a little humane about it.

[piasa]

She attempted to kill the child on at least three different occasions, succeeding on the last.

Water bead pearls are a polymer gel which absorbs water and swells. They are often about 1/8” or so, but can swell considerably to a little less than an inch in normal use. A teaspoon of them typically absorb about 3 cups of water. With full access to water they could certainly get even bigger.

[lepton]

Ongoing, multiply pre-meditated. This is death-penalty level, if there is the proof she actually did this - and the article suggests there is pretty good evidence.

“Apparently water beads are used for crafts. Here is what they can do if ingested:

“Missouri Poison Center
Water beads are undigestible. If someone accidentally swallows a water bead, the bead absorbs the body’s fluids and can expand to a size that can cause intestinal or bowel blockage known as an obstruction. Even very small water bead crystals pose a serious risk.””

Thank you. That sounds gruesome.

Sigh.

Sometimes *an eye for an eye* is the kind of justice I long for.

Poor, poor baby.

At least, she’s beyond the reach of that monster forever.

I can’t understand how Bailey Jacoby, the child’s father, would go for mangy looking Aleidia Owens. There is something not right with him.

[Ann Archy]

AMEN!!!! The MOST DANGEROUS place for a child is in the home of a divorced parent and Boyfriend or girlfriend!!

STAY MARRIED!!

[Trump_Triumphant]

Total evil.

[gitmo]

She was NOT the mother, she was Daddy’s new girlfriend

But she’s still a woman, so she has the right to choose.

[ronniesgal]

what a pretty baby.
what the eff is up with dad- his side piece is a mean bitch.

[Wuli]

Demonic.

When a human being is acting a far from God as possible, they become a target and possible agent of spiritual demons.

“...charged with three counts of homicide..”

[Svartalfiar]

Why is she charged with three counts of homicide? Are there two other bodies the story doesn’t mention? Is the DA overcharging to try to get her off on a technicality? Is the “journalist” unable to count properly?
