There's nothing on social media about this case.
They had behavior issues because they were abused!!
They should use any money left after bills to create as many wonderful memories for Taylor as possible. And use some of it for therapy, because she probably doesn't think she deserves all the kindness. She's probably grieving her brother… My heart breaks for her!
Hard to understand why nobody’s blaming the mother tho?
What's the point of having a death penalty if you don't use it when you should?
Whats wrong with Americans. Constant murder and child abuse
This mother could have called 911 for help. Even if she waited until he was asleep or he left the house. So no excuse for her !!!😢😢😢
Typical suspects
i will NEVER buy what yall are selling in between reporting this stuff. smiling and shi# while reporting. sickos
💕🙏Prayers Sweet Girl 💔🙏
💙🙏 RIP little Guy 🙏🩵
Disgusting
Those kids looks so sad
wtf 🤬
Mom allowed this! I don't want to hear any excuses that she was scared. That man has to sleep SOMETIME! 🤬🤬🤬
Watching the beginning was like watching the transformation of split personalities!
STOP INVITING BOYFRIENDS AND GIRLFRIENDS INTO YOUR KIDS LIFE WITHOUT PROPER TIME AND VETTING.
Stop moving in with people you dont really know when you have kids.
Don't even intorduce your new "buddy" to your kids until it's been 6 months or more.
Dont let them watch your kids, dont let them take over as an equal parent, THEY ARE NOT.
WAY TOO MANY STORIES similar to this.
Selfish parents putting their kids in danger for s*x and companionship.
Disgusting.
No neighbors? Nobody heard the children screaming?
Always the boyfriend. Why do women trust their boyfriends with their children?
There's always a PLEA DEAL. Makes me sick.
The Inmates will deal with him.
What a scumbag
Mom needs to go to prison too
Put BOTH of these monsters in general population and let the other inmates get justice for these poor babies!! This should've never happened.
After reading comments I understand people’s outrage about what is happening now days with this horrific abuse of children. Because of the cost of living this just gets worse. People who can’t afford to live unfortunately also can’t cope.
And we call these pll america…
He will get justice ⚖️ behind bars…. that poor baby(s) –
What cops have to find has to be so hard. This is beyond horrific.
Those poor babies 😭
Ugh. I have a 3 year old little boy who loves monster trucks and cars and this kills me. I live in central Arkansas I can’t believe this happened in my state. Seems to be happening everywhere. Rip blu!!
Judgment is coming. Brood of vipers
The cruelty of some people often leaves me shaking my head in disgust, years ago I was working in Public Safety in an inner city Hospital when a five year old boy was brought in with severe burns to his hands, his mother's boyfriend had plunged his hands into a pot of boiling water as punishment for eating the food that his mother had prepared for said boyfriend. The man was arrested, and charged with child abuse, and heinous battery, amongst a host of other charges. And the child was taken into DCFS custody. The child's father ( who resided in Texas) showed up wanting to see the child, and didn't understand that the DCFS had to give their approval before he could do so, and we were called in to remove him, once we showed up he left peaceably enough but he had noticed a chink in our armor, ( to wit, our pediatric ward had an unsecured stairwell right across the hall from the boys room, and the hallway curved at the other end, where the nurses station was, so the nurses did not have a view of every door in the ward, the building was old ( a converted hotel) and management saw no reason to modify this design. Well the Sunday morning after the father was denied access to his son, he came to the hospital, went up one floor from the pediatric unit, used the stairwell to enter the pediatric ward, and got into the boys room, ( it was early on the day shift and the nurses were all in report) he got his son dressed in clothing he had brought with him, and was planning to use the stairs, ( which exited to the street) to spirit the boy out of the hospital, and take him to Texas, where he lived with the boys grandparents. This plan went awry though when the boys nurse entered the room to feed him his breakfast. The father pulled out a knife, and threatened that if he could not have his son, the state and the boys mother, ( who was in jail, also charged in the case) couldn't either. We were called, and I and my watch commander responded, we also notified our director, and assistant director, who as it was a Sunday were both off duty, but both were quick to respond, ( the local PD was tied up with an officer having been shot nearby, and thus couldn't respond) I had taken the same stairwell to respond to the call, and was in position to the left of the rooms door ready to take a shot if that proved to be necessary, and could be taken without harm to the child, or the nurse, who had been instructed not to move. My Director began trying to negotiate, with the distraught father, but wasn't getting anywhere, my Assistant Director had taken position directly across from me, also ready to take a shot, if that proved necessary. This stand off went on for sometime before the nurse convinced the father that his son was hungry, and needed to be fed, and have his dressings changed, the father, started to hand the boy to the nurse, and that was when my director made his move, he stepped in and delivered the best punch I have ever seen, grabbed the child and threw him to the Assistant director, who threw the boy to me. I ran down the hall with him far enough to ensure his safety, and handed him to the charge nurse, and returned to help restrain the father, who got charged, with trespassing, armed violence, and attempted kidnapping/ interference with legal custody of a ward of the state. In the end though the boys grandparents were awarded custody of the boy, and his siblings, and at last report, were living happily in Texas.
These poor children
yikes…come on,if you hate kids then don't be around them, that's always worked for me.
Breaks my heart 💔
Pure evil!!!
It's fake and horrible of this reporter to be reporting about a child's death and then all of a sudden get this happy smile on her face doing an ad. It's macabre and weird and I'm going to boycott these videos and everyone else should too. It would be one thing if the ad was in the beginning or the end but smack in the middle while you're talking about a murdered child being murdered. Shame on you Ms. Levy. SHAME.
That man should be ashamed of himself
Dude does not deserve prison.
Seriously, shame on you. Reporting on this sad sad story of the abuse and murder of this child and you stop to give us cash back on gas and food that we buy? You are just as sick as he is.
Oh really cause sound like stuff evil liar jennifer where i stay talks bout foing same crap to ppl
It is always the children of desperate mothers…smh. STOP putting yourself first.. you dont need a bf. Take care of your children!!
