Octavia Aquino, 4, was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive at an apartment in Evansville, Indiana last week. The girl’s mother, Destiny Rhoades, and Rhoades’ 16-year-old “boyfriend,” Christian Gonzalez, were both arrested. According to an affidavit, officers saw bruises on the child, as well as what appeared to be a human bite mark on her arm. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the disturbing allegations from a police affidavit and speaks with the victim’s grandmother, Linda Alvarez, about the heartbreaking case.

How old was the mom?? 30 something?? Dating a teenager??
People are absolutely horrible. I have six children and can't even imagine hurting them. Not everyone deserves children.
Jennifer Soto Twin?
That poor kid…this lady is dating a MINORRRR ,that looks exactly like her ,what type,of parent does that 🫤
she looks like she’d date a minor
Thats israHell only know destruction and death, especially targeting children 😢
Gross. Lock them both up. Mother's stop letting these creeps in..
Why do single moms trust their boyfriends with the kids?? They do not have responsibility to care for your kids 🤨😕
I recall a boyfriend telling me he was 17 years old and I was 18 years old .
How his age came up during a conversation with drinks ,his mum revealed he was only 14 years old and begged me not to leave him.
I was so embarrassed and needless to say I dropped him on the spot!”. I felt disgusting and sick to know I was with a kid .
Last time I ever had anything to do with him again ,what shame I felt!!!”.
What if the bf actaully liked eating people? That lessens culpability. Everybody should be allow to eat a LITTLE BIT of people. 😅
As someone with a 5 year old baby sister, I cannot imagine the pain of having something like this happen. Heart breaking and her mother knew better. This is devastating 💔😢
Rest in hevonly peace beautiful Octavia😇🙏❤️
Charge him as an adult ‼️ Idc if he’s only sixteen he didn’t care that that baby was four NO Sympathy here
I’m sorry but where was everybody when this was happening? I’m sure there was signs. If I had one feeling that one of my grandchildren was being mistreated my wrath would be worse than Gods. I would immediately go to court and demand custody. Now everyone wants to say what they knew and how crushed they are but how does it help this poor innocent baby now that she’s gone. Every adult in her life FAILED her. Her mother ofc is the worst but for everyone else ur guilty for doing NOTHING TO HELP HER.
This sweet grandmother crying for her baby is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to her 🙏
What a beautiful lil angel with such a beautiful smile and such beautiful eyes.. this is so heartbreaking and as a grandma of a 4 year old beautiful granddaughter i felt this grandmas pain and send my most sincere love and hugs to her and this lil angels father as well ❤ may you find peace soon for such a unimaginable loss. i hope these two individuals get the max time in jail for taking such a beautiful life..
I don’t care if that baby bit him 100x you don’t bite her back!!!
Always choose your child…
The mom and boyfriend look like brother and sister.
Stop with the advertisements we get enough by YouTube ❗❗❗
Her parents are sick and truly failed her wow!!!! This is crazy and truly messes with me 😩😔
10:16 Ayo, that’s where I live
I know the grandmother is torn up inside about her grandbaby.
Deepest condolences to u Linda and ur family and all those who were blessed to have known Octavia. In my thoughts and prayers♡
Why do they look like the same person? Pos😢
That 4 year old deserves justice
My heart broke when she was on a video saying she wanted her grandma 😭
How gross and they say out culture need help
They look like twin brothers
How are these types of people allowed to have and “raise” children on their own? They can’t even take care of their miserable selves
Oh little Octavia 😢😢😢, you deserved better, rest in peace little one 🙏💔… I admire peole who want to become EMTs and police officers… I would never be able to unsee the sight of a dead child… 😞
wow, an absolutely gorgeous little girl😭 seriously so beautiful, this is such a travesty 💔 rest in paradise bbgirl
I hope that baby is safe playing in heaven she didn’t deserve any of this
