Why does he try to use bible study to justify her behaviour? Do Christians really think that that is a sign of character?!
That has to be a serious problem with a grandmother possibly something that’s out of her control her mental condition possibly
This more going on with a grandmother, perhaps a mental condition
18:15 There should NEVER be a first time let alone a second time. She should be tested for Alzheimer’s or dementia and have her driver’s licence pulled.
Don't be trapped by satan. DO NOT JUDGE as when we judge, he may just gain legal right to make you swallow your own words. Let's rather pray for this family, that would be far better then judging.
Two grandbabies… TWO! TWO LIVES!
Killing TWO grandbabies? HOW? Unreal! She should rot in jail! How can one person be so dozy and unaware? Does she have a medical condition? There isn't really any excuse for this bs! Went for a "nap" when the 1st child died, then "forgets" the 2nd baby in the car? HOW??
Even if it was accidental the first and/or second time… I would have been scared to leave the baby with my mom to begin with. Although I do understand accidents happen and it is your mom. You love her and do want her to be involved in the baby’s life. You don’t want her to feel bad over a mistake. And it sounds like she had watched this baby again several times with no incidents. This is just awful. 😢
What does her going to Bible study have to do with the case??
Daughter you need to do a dna test to see if she’s your biological mother! Ain’t no way a mama that harsh to her own child.
She begged for you to plead guilty you didn’t. You keep avoiding after killing not one but two of her children dyam! Both might be accidental but the least I would do is prevent my family to relive this trauma in court🙏🏾
After first accident it could have been noted tgat although she watched her own children properly she may have been affected by advanced aging …my moms short term memory is really bad now at 72 years she spaces out easily
I dont leave my young child alone with her Everyone ages different rates brain wise
I have not listen to entire court hearing so …im about to check it out
I almost forgot my baby in the car i have 5 and only reason i did not was because i counted them constantly and always did a car check because my younger son hid as a joke one time ….he ran back in the car and hid behind the seat in the dark …. because of these horrible accidents ive seen i had a nightmare one of my kids was forgotten so i had an item to n the back seat that i always brought inside the house after getting it in the way back of the van …after that i locked the doors to the van …i did this every single trip id bring the item put it in the back and then drive to my destination….go open back door and take the small item out put it in my purse …. I had to because set routines change suddenly
Not blaming the parents, but how can you leave your baby with your Mother while another baby previously died under her care?
What kind of Judge is this? The first child should most definitely be mentioned!
I think anyone can see this was not an accident with her already having killed this daughter’s other child! She has something against that daughter! To kill both her kids! And to try and feed an infant with a straw?! Hoping she’ll choke on water?! This woman is EVIL!!!!!!! 😡
"A former school teacher and principal " omg
At which point does it become neglectful for the parents leaving their kids with grandma, id say after the drowning
This is so sad. But could she not have forgotten about her? I heard a case like that before. It does happen. I haven't seen whole case watching now.
She was found not guilty?
In Polk County?
No justice for the INNOCENT??!!
The grandma crying about not facing her daughter and leaving the scene is WILD! I think there is more to this grandma’s story. This sounds fishy.
A trick I learned somewhere to avoid these situations was to take off one shoe (left bc you don’t drive with it) and put it next to the child before you leave. Due to a change in routine you may forget the child/pet but you’ll remember the shoe as soon as you step foot on the ground.
What I do not understand the daughter had to go to hairdressers she suddenly needed babysitter. But then they go on and say the police came to her house to tell her the baby died?
Poor baby. 😢 That is so sad.
Uriel was precious & innocent. 😢 She trusted her family 😢
How did baby Uriel pass ?
In the worst possible way !
Negligance 😭😱
Dear grandma seems to be more worried about facing her daughter, than worrying about how her poor daughter and son in law were feeling…..this is just terrible, how on earth anyone could have been in some way responsible for both your Grandchildrens deaths! Just heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all who loved this poor baby. Xx
Making a child wear those ridiculous bows is also crime.
This woman is a retired teacher? I find that shocking! Who would trust her around children?
Why is she smirking in her arrest photo
She might be suffering from early dementia…
I dunno, if I left my child with a family member and that didn't turn out well, I wouldn 't leave another child with them. Something is wrong with this mother…
If you are thinking about the fact you are going to be taking care of your grandson that day, why wouldn’t you realize at that time you have the little girl!
Church, church, church, Bible Study🙄🤗👹👺
My mother has similar symptoms, it's age related cognitive decline. My dad is worse. They can function normally doing all the normal things they usually do and you can't tell, their brains are going on autopilot from what they knew before their brains started getting bad, as soon as something comes up that is outside of the norm, you see it, they clearly struggle. Years ago when my mom seemed normal, my first clue is that I watched her become lost and confused on an elevator. She couldn't determine what floor they were landing on or where she needed to go….just complete confusion as if she was a 2 yr old that knew nothing about such things. The departure from what is usual that her brain didnt have a pre printed script for showed it up. She'd never been in this building before and had no pre existing familiarity. I had to forcibly push her off the elevator at the ground floor as she was so confused and freaked out that she wasn't listening to me telling her we needed to get off there- it was like I wasn't there speaking to her. An hour later you wouldn't be able to tell that she was anything but a capable adult. She was back on autopilot, in one town she'd been in a million times and heading the familiar route home. At that point I knew, and the only child I would dream of letting her "care for" would be a fully functioning teenager that could handle themselves and call for help if needed and who could keep themselves safe and care for themselves for the time it took for help to come. Thankfully all her grandchildren were teenagers. It took her another 5 years to realize that her brain was "shorting out" on her, she was the last to realize it because she had to live in that brain and it wasn't reporting accurate info to her. She thought that all was normal and fine. That is what happened here. Having the baby was outside of the norm and didn't fit into the autopilot. The real fault lies with the mother of the baby for being in denial and handing her mother the baby because it was convenient for HER. The grandma wasn't fit to be watching children and the prior incident with the brother was the definitive wake up call, like the elevator was for me, if nothing else was…shes only able to take care of herself via autopilot….
I will never understand why car manufacturers haven’t come up with a safety feature to make sure things like this never happen.
I’m very heartbroken for the baby’s mom and their family.
I’ve even heard about so many children who have invented things to help remember a child in the back seat.
Let’s go Big 3. Be the industry stand outs and get it done. Too many innocent lives have already been lost.
Why the heck was that woman allowed to watch another child?
Since the mother lost a child in the grandmother's care she should of never been left alone with any children.
Her smile in her mug shot says it all. May she feel as alone in jail as her grand babies felt when she failed them. Praying for this families healing.
She got 5 years in prison
This old bag is sick
