If you guys heard the girl was the half sister to the little boy, whose father is Dinkins. He was 17 when he was convicted. I'm hoping she didn't know due to the fact he was 17 and possibly the record was not easily accessible due to being a minor. Cause that would be diabolical, so I'm hoping she never knew due to committing that crime prior to adulthood.

his record is from when he was a minor, it would be sealed and not sow up even is she did a background check on him. He is the biological father of her brother, it's not uncommon for a stepparent to take both takes when they split. My ex fiance and I use to have his kid and two step kids over whenever it was his weekend because the other two younger kids always wanted to go with their brother, mom was ok with it and it would've been a hole of us to say no we don't want the step kids, he treated all 3 kids the same which I admired.

[@lvshidd4429]

​@@godsownson2469I believe what the person is trying to convey is that, when the guy actually said that the little girl is not his biological daughter, however,that was still his baby girl or whatever....I suppose they're implying that his even mentioning the fact that she wasn't his biological daughter, comes off a little suspicious even tho it's true. Most parents that have helped practically raise a child, and who considers that other child their own, usually don't go around throwing that biological word around. It's like, oh, so, because she's not your biological daughter, you shouldn't have to, necessarily, be held accountable??? That's where the sounding/ automatic looking guilty comes in. The way he said it, and the fact that he even said it....makes him sound suspicious....he really could've kept that to himself, if he really considered her to be" his "baby girl" or whatever. Just like some children that consider their "step parents", as their main parents, usually don't go around using "step" ....unless that's not the case. Hope that somewhat clears it up.

I knew he was guilty from his first interaction I saw when the mother was frantic and he was getting mad and taking offense instead responsibility. If a child is missing you IMMEDIATELY call the police FIRST not drive around like a chicken without a head! But what broke my heart was the fact that the grandmother told her not to go but her naivety and love for her brother made her tag along. Also, how could the girlfriend see this grown man in a room alone with her instead of playing with the son and not be suspicious and she didn't even question him when she saw him come home without Breasia at 3 am. I am soo serious there should be laws and penalties for people who know something is not right but say nothing and do nothing but I digress...

[@hername3046]

Girlfriend should have been charged with him also for acting like she didn’t know and sitting in the living room while she GD well he was molesting that baby. Both of them are sorry AF.

[@IRgEEK]

I agree. I watched this trial and when his Girlfriend said she saw that poor little girl standing outside of his car around 3:30 am in nothing but a t-shirt after he came back home to get 'something', before going back out and putting her back in the car and leaving. I was sickened. I don't care if she feared him or not, she might have prevented that little one losing her life if she had just called the police. She should have been charged with something. Especially since she admitted she was worried he was going to do something bad to her.

I may be thinking too deep into this, but I think he had a plan all along. He met a single mom with a daughter and no father, if he had a child with her, he'd have access to the daughter as well (since she was only 2, no one would know anything). At 10, she's old enough to talk about the things he may have done or could do, and he couldn't risk her telling. I believe he'd been touching her her whole life

True. He was already Molesting the little girl when he was with the mother. I Believe That the mother knew he was a Molester. She was not with him anymore before the killing

The little boy got angry cuz he doesnt know how to deal with his emotions.. he knows himself his dad done something and he upset and frustrated.. he dont like his dad, and the kid wasnt mad cuz his dad was "playing" with Bree and not him, he was mad because he knew his dad was doing something he shouldnt of been doing.. but he young and probably doesnt know how to regulate his thoughts.. but he is so aware, so tuned in, in my eyes that boy is a HERO.. he brought his sister home. BLESS HIM. Throughout it all, he blew me away.. i love that little boy and i dont even know him.. ❤❤❤❤ poor boy.. i hope he gets the therapy that he will need because when those thoughts do start to regulate, its going to hit him and he needs to know how to deal with it positively..
