This is an all-around sad situation. I can't imagine losing 2 babies. But I also don't understand why grandma was still the babysitter?

I think it's very confusing her mother raised her well and she turned out great but in a space of 1 year she lost two children because of her mother so I think she still had a lot of anger towards her mother during that interview where she wanted her to be sent to jail but now possible has changed of heart

[@SamsungBitch2005]

Who cares

[@victory9086]

Exactly 💯

[@kylieharrison3782]

No change of heart. She was simply letting go with love and acknowledging that she will no longer have her mother in her life. It's part of forgiving herself for ever having trusted her mother to care for her children. Her father still wants to believe the deaths were accidents, caused by mental degeneration at a biological level.

I heard about this case a few weeks ago and I still wonder if this was done intentionally. It just seems so outrageous that it happened twice that you start to wonder if it was on purpose. Like was she trying to get back at her daughter for something? Or on the less nefarious side, does she have some type of undiagnosed issue like dementia? All that said, the mother was on notice that her mother was an unfit babysitter after the first incident. There's some comparative negligence here.

I feel really sorry for the grandmother in this situation, I don't think that she's meant to do it on purpose and if she might be dealing with early Alzheimer's or dementia and it's unfair to hold her to the standards of someone who wilfully slaughtered their grandkids. She shouldn't be in jail, she's not a danger to society. I'm not sure what copability the parents have for allowing someone who may not be mental able enough in their latter years to look after children.

Imagine losing a child to someone elses negligence, then allowing that same person to look after your second child. How wrong would I be to theorise the worst and say those parents just used the grandmother as a scapegoat, taking advantage of her scatterbrain? That hug it court was like Shawn Michaels' "I love you," right before he ended Ric Flair's career. But in all seriousness, no matter how you look at it, those parents knowingly put their daughter in danger by leaving her with the grandmother who they knew first-hand was not fit for purpose.

I don't think the grandmother did this intentionally, and clearly her daughter doesn't think the first death was intentional either, or she wouldn't have left the second child with her.
