@@Pink_143_6you can check Billi Jo had custody of the two boys and not the last baby who was Danny’s daughter. Do your research as she was granted custody of them and that’s why she hired a babysitter because she was going to be working away but Danny and Lilanni paid the babysitter Billi Jo just made enquiries to get one. There’s court documents to back this up.

[@marilynschmidt6400]

If you've had an unsavory upbringing, you need to break away from family and re-parent yourself. If you're aware growing up that there's something wrong with the picture then, your likely not going to remain like them when you leave and don't look back

[@Juke582]

@@marilynschmidt6400exactly!!! I ran far away from my awful family life or lack of after college and never looked back! Was a successful kid anyway who had strong drive to be much better than what I was given and I sure did! It’s a choice I always said to “be screwed up”!!!!! I chose not to be! Did everything in my power to be opposite of my evil narcissist enmeshed family and alcoholic father! We all have choices indeed! Doing drugs, hating her kids, and Murdering a child and throwing in trash has huge consequences, and there’s no excuse of drugs or bad childhood as most don’t go on to commit such horror! She has to stay in prison for life! Her personality disorder, like Susan Smith, and her mother, can’t be corrected with any amount of therapy or classes! Liliani will never admit her lies or the truth or take any responsibility for being that monster. She is a compulsive liar for life!

Um, why isn't this sick woman also being charged, at least with neglect? He stood no chance in a family like these awful people. Poor baby

None of her family should have ever taken that stand!!!! It only made the sentencing worse!! And the judge, why???? Why possibility of parole??? Makes me so angry!!

[@Juke582]

Learning that two good people from that situation could have taken Quinton and raised him in a loving home, and Liliani still chose to murder and dispose of him really sickened me more! She had choices, but like Susan Smith too, she selfishly chose to fix her angst in worst selfish decision and hurt everyone instead with zero remorse or empathy for anyone but themselves being prosecuted! They both laughed about it! That’s deep mental illness! Sad world 😩

This speaks of trauma. She was brought up in a very dysfunctional family and neglected. Lelani is selfish because she is looking to fill the gap that the mother/father left in her life. Its sad.

Billie Jo was just as high and probably just as drunk as Leilani during the search for that poor baby. Her video recorded behavior was abhorrent. I will NEVER understand why she wasn't charged as well since she had full custody of Quinton at the time of his death and knew how reckless her daughter was. SHE IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT LITTLE BOY. 😢😢

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

And I am sure no one in your family has ever done drugs right? I have no idea about this case and honestly could careless. The Mother Billie Joe was the absolute epitome of honest on that stand. She owned up to her mistakes and people can reform. I am NOT talking about the daughter, strictly the Mother. It just kills me that holier than thou people like you judge and judge others who have had problems with addiction. Yet I bet you're all full of Jesus and the Bible, but never really listened to his teachings. I respect that Mother, she owned up and I bet she will teach those kids and because good grandma who will teach and not judge. Btw, I worked both sides of the aisle which I am sure you never have.
