[@Nathan-ht9sc]

​@@cadence6814 I'm glad you brought this up. Statistically, children are more likely to be abused by some one they know, not a complete stranger. This was a completely bad set of circumstances. The mother was planning on taking her children on a flight to see their father soon and she was shopping to get them ready for the trip with only a $100 budget. The offending man was well experienced as he had asked the cashier if the mother had bought the clothing that she had brought to the counter, to which the cashier said no. This was then when he pounced on the vulnerability. Predators look for exploits not much different to exploiting a hole in a fence.

The man asked the cashier when he saw her bring clothes to the counter for a price check, if she had bought it to which the cashier said no. This may have been when he decided his gift card scam and non-existent wife to show he is a 'responsible' person should come into play as he discussed these things with Rayne in the beginning to gain trust.

That call the father made was him trying to sound "Sad and crying" But that baby was gone way before that. The fact they let him sit in that swing for weeks without no food, water etc.. while they go do drugs is fkn evil.

[@brooklynbabe3727]

I worry about my daughter, who is 25 now, because she is so sweet and trusting.

[@ambermyers7463]

Why was dad acting like he cared if his daughter’s mother was hurting so bad she’d accept food and clothes from a complete stranger 🤨

[@pumpkinfield100]

Yeah… his crocodile tears didn’t convince me. What about financial support at least.

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

🤦🏾‍♀️ yall know nothing about this man

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

Motherus not a victim. And hewould be paying child support, etc. So why blame dad who did not allow the child to go off with a stranger, even after saying she had a bad feeling about jim more than once. Stop this nonsense about all females being victims. Mom was not one.

[@Harlequin33]

@@pumpkinfield100she spent the child support on herself. You need to look into the case more.

[@TealAstronaut]

Working in a grocery store I see soooo many kids alone in the store or there parent isnt far but they are on their phones. Parents need to actually watch their children

[@nam3l3ss32]

This story has too many red flags, The mother screwed up big time & she ignored the most basic rule of never leaving your kids with a stranger or unattended especially in public.

[@VictoriaVargas94]

Sick monster. The fact he’s done it before and got out... Disgusting. I would never trust any of my babies with any kind of stranger.

[@bobbiedodds2289]

That "mother" is something else

[@maleighjohnson7020]

Oh, How HORRIBLE and EVIL! What a beautiful little girl, too

[@sandramkennedy]

My heart hurts for her mom. I’m so very sorry this happened to you and your beautiful daughter.

[@chloemullikin1137]

Desperation is one of the most dangerous things out there:..: people don’t think clearly. This case is so sad! All the way around! My prayers go out to this family 🩵🤍🩵🤍

[@zawenab]

The fact he was only out of prison at that point for 3 weeks is scary.

[@account01289]

This is why there should be Much Harsher sentences for these predators! He was aloud to be set free over and over again... Child SA should be a life sentence because if it was this wouldn't have happened to Cherish 💔

[@Cflacy]

And the mother!!!

[@NicoleC-q2z]

they don’t do enough to protect children

[@dawn-gk2tr]

What gets me about " mitigating " factors is the simple fact that , if someone cannot help himself he must be kept away from all normal humans who could become victims. Someone who cannot help himself will never be trustworthy

[@KhadijahAli-pg9vu]

Exactly 💯!!!

[@suzettebaldwin4227]

This man should have never gotten out.

[@tanyaLooking_InTheRear-View]

People with a history of crimes against kids should never ever get back out. This is just so so sad.

[@melissasalvatore-o2e]

My parents were Very protective with my sisters and I growing up. We never had a babysitter and I'm forever greatful for my wonderful protective parents....

[@Dawna-gp1zk]

bravo for u

[@emloufox]

"he took her to the dressing room multiple times" charge the mom with child neglect. Absolutely ridiculous and zero regard for her little girls safety. Almost as sick as the man.

[@justinp3931]

.Charish would be alive had he been behind bars still. Child predators should NEVER be let out of prison EVER. And I'm sorry but I can't say the moment is blameless....she should have NEVER let her alone with ANY man

[@wildwest1832]

sheesh all the mom had to do was stay with her. yikes

[@CreatedByNoriElan]

Stay with her! Ummmmmm........ NO. The mum could have told the man to back off! Not interested in anything, put her children in the car and LEFT.

[@JLYT2024]

This case will never not bring out extreme rage in me. Known about it for years and I still hate her mother more than the perp. Which is rare

[@MB_Ghostie]

This shows just how horrific our legal system is to see how many times that monster has gotten free.

[@Kari-8xtqm]

Yes, this is very typical. It's everywhere and usually handled with neglect.

[@marilily]

I will never understand why they have to take these innocent kids lives just because they have some sick need to fulfill. Even in situations when it's so obvious they are going to be identified, they still take the child's life. WHY?

[@Cflacy]

The mother sold her child out! She should have all custody taking away completely!!! She is not fit to protect her own children.

[@Dawna-gp1zk]

easy to judge huh?

[@bettersteps]

Public torture that leads to death.

[@KsSpOiLeDBrAt]

BINGO!

[@TheAfrikanSuperstar]

Poverty sets the stage for so much manipulation.

[@VictoriaLynn59]

PARENTS KEEP YOUR KIDS GLUED TO YOU WHEN OUT. NEVER LET THEM GO WITH A STRANGER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@Ingi-u3n]

What is wrong with humanity?if a dog attacks a child it is put down .this in my eyes is worse and they get away with it over and over again.f justice

[@LadyNyght]

Her lawyer saying Cheyanne Harris isn't the worst of the worst this baby suffered right up until the very end that's just plain torture and cruelty, she deserved her sentence for what she did, she is the monster that everyone makes her out to be and so is he.

[@dawn-gk2tr]

Poor Sterling's parents do not strike one as the brightest stars in the firmament. Mad as cut snakes and about as empathic.

[@tamitribbiani7907]

My childhood best friend was married to Zach before he was with Krystal. They pronounced his name wrong, it's pronounced Kane. Anyway horrible story all the way around!

[@CmarieWelch]

Cherish trusted him because her mom trusted him...

[@jessicagordon3648]

I’ve barely started the video, but she knew something wasn’t right with him, but she let her child wander round with him anyway? Why is she trusting a complete stranger like that? So strange.

[@rangers9848]

Our youngest grandson is 8. I can’t even think about someone so evil getting near our innocent baby boy. What happened to sweet Cherish was so preventable.

[@deannawitt9376]

This mom practically offered her right up to this monster! She knew what was up with this weirdo. Also, that Dad should have helped out! Both parents are guilty

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

Imagineclaiming the father guilty of a crime when not even present at the time and when he did not do what the mother did. Disgusting.

[@Harlequin33]

He paid child support. She spent it on herself. Look into the case more.

[@KhadijahAli-pg9vu]

You obviously haven't researched the case.

[@sadiemaladyxo]

she was such a beautiful little girl.. 🥺 at least now she’s safe in heaven with her true Father! 😭

[@edwinacaparelli9911]

I lived a life very similar to The last story, when I became pregnant, I gave everything up to be the best mom I could be and I have never looked back. It doesn't make sense to me how anybody could choose their shity party life over a beautiful life with a child

[@mikenew5380]

This is so heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time. My worst nightmare. Just pure evil to his core
