Thirty-year-old Melissa Jenkins and her boyfriend, 36-year-old Daniel Ehrlick Jr., were arrested Tuesday in connection with the death of Jenkins' son, Robert Manwill.

What a tragic loss of a young and innocent little boy. Nothing makes me more angry then adults harming young children. The justice system should have a special punishment for these scumbags. They should be tortured for days until they beg to be put to death. They should die in the same manner of their victim.

This is Charles Manwill's second child to die violently. His former wife, Silke Fatma Manwill, stabbed their 4-year-old son, Michael, in the chest in 1993, killing him. She was sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, and was released in 2002.

Wow... what a sad story... a father has to lose two sons from being killed by their respective mother...

Good Lord, that is soooo right! So many innocent children have died in this exact situation. Makes me sick to my stomach!

I guess the police took a look at her record...her infant son was taken from her because she struck him and fractured his skull and her ex has her toddler daughter and the courts found cause to not allow the new boyfriend around the girl. The cops probably know a little more than they’re saying.

A Mother’s first DUTY above everything is protecting her child/children against whoever the predator maybe including the natural father.

Doesn’t the article state that this mother whose last name is Jenkins, served time for cracking her other child’s skull against a coffee table? The boy was killed accidentally or on purpose, and then his body dumped in the canal most likely because these monsters thought the police would say he drowned. I literally feel sick when I read about this type of thing. It seems unutterable.
