[Mrs. Don-o]

"Kathy Jeffers had warned her husband she didn't want to leave the children with Irick that night, that she'd seen him muttering to himself in a half-drunk rage on the porch before she left for work."

One thing I learned from another article today (above) in The Tennesseeanis that the little girl's mother and stepfather had reason to believe that Irick was mentally ill, and knew for a certainty, that he'd been drinking and doing drugs --- yet they dumped their little girl in his "care" when they went off to work.

In so many of these hideous situations the parent(s) knew the "babysitter" was grossly unfit but left their child at his mercy anyhow.

I will never be able to understand that in a million years. A mother's instinct to protect her child is just so incredibly strong. But not, I know, for all.

So sad. How could a mother leave her child with such a deranged evil man. I wouldn’t have let him care for a house plant. It’s insane that sub- human lived off the taxpayer for over 30 years. The girl got no justice from our evil gov’t. I trust she rests in the presence of The Lord Jesus.

Both of the parents let Irick babysit her. They should’ve told Irick he won’t be babysitting today. That’s why Mrs Deplorable is a stay at home mom. We don’t want non family members babysitting for us.

A mother's instinct to protect her child is just so incredibly strong.

Sixty million abortions say otherwise. Life is dirt cheap in these United States of America.
