I just can’t… the previous video I watched was about parents who fought for their child in medical system and the child eventually died.

Why else wouldn’t they seek medical attention unless they’re guilty of hurting her?

[@Trammiliin_nr2]

I’m pretty sure this is the case and this is also what the police is investigating. The sheriff was so careful with his words, and I think the reason is they don’t want to jeopardize the investigation by telling too much too early. As he didn’t tell what the injuries were, maybe the story parents told and the autopsy results don’t match or there were former untreated injuries and they need to be careful not to tell it out loud, leaving the suspects believing they sold the story. I hope to see in the future what was happening on the background with gathering the evidence, though. I really hope the investigators are handling this case with the most diligence and gather solid evidence against them. This absolutely mind-blowing to think that someone could leave their unconcious child without medical care. I’m more careful with my dog’s health issues than these parents.

My son got cancer at 17 but was in and out of the hospital three different times and spent 5 hours at his pediatrician’s office as she ran lab after lab, all over the course of 19 days before we got a diagnosis. I spent more than 100 days living in the hospital with him, did everything I could for four years as he had a bone marrow transplant and battled GvHD (graft vs. host disease) before passing away. I didn’t care about anything other than getting him well, or once he had to go on hospice care, work continuously with the hospice team to make sure he had the best life he could until I lost him. I cannot fathom being so afraid or indifferent as to not take my suffering child to the hospital. Poor child. She deserved better.

And I believe your opinion is right, there are many moms who are jealous of their younger daughters, not only because her daughter is younger, and she is now older, but the daughter is innocent while the mother’s innocence is forever gone, so they feel resentment towards the daughter and allow bad things to happen to her, including The new boyfriend or the stepdad molesting her or abusing her

[@littledove1173]

Demons 👿

Putin? ​@@littledove1173

[@dannafreespirit6831]

People don't report injuries if they cause them. That's obvious.

[@elisamartinez3881]

I think they said cheerleader to paint that she was a vibrant little girl with friends and everyone compmaing about miniscule things it's really annoying

[@ewjiml]

The sheriff talked for over an hour and said NOTHING. Why was she unconscious? Was she beaten? Like the most basic questions he couldn’t answer and it’s driving me nuts.

[@deborahramos7470]

Four days?!! How do you go to sleep knowing your child might not wake up in the morning???? My brother died suddenly last year….what we would give to get a chance to save his life!!! 🤯🤯😭😭😭😭😩😩😩

[@no-ux6jg]

its giving the mom was jealous of her daughter, and cared more about the step father then her own child. smh

[@waynemiller6156]

What happened to this child? Why would you not get your daughter medical help if injured? How are these people parents?

[@lisawhite3648]

What IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

[@faykouri1162]

Absolutely abhorrent & incomprehensible!

[@sharonloves]

How is she a teen if she’s 12?

[@RastaFeeNarv]

She looked a lot older than 12.

[@coll4455]

Poor baby girl. As a cheer coach my heart goes out to her little teammates and coaches. I can’t imagine losing one of my kids and what that would do to everyone. 💔

[@Boyhead1973]

I find it off-putting that you guys are describing the death of this child by highlighting that she was a 'cheerleader'... as if that was her occupation!

[@Gimpygladiator]

Not defending them, but saying "cheerleader" creates an image of a happy, thriving, active kid who was likely athletic and popular. It sets her apart, makes her identifiable, relatable, giving people a mental image beyond "6th grader" and more "kid who liked rollercoasters" (for example - not that I know if she actually liked coasters)... when tragedy hits, the focus tends to be on perpetrators, so creating a mental image of an active, social child makes it all the more heartbreaking.

[@spacemanspliff7983]

So sorry that sensitivities are causing you problems.

[@lorrainekelleher6937]

​@@spacemanspliff7983not sensitive, just a normal reaction of someone who protects andvl Ioves children.

[@primroselyn1872]

That mother was jealous of daughter. Such a shame.

[@BiancaSalazar-d5d]

She’s already out on bail! Absolutely disgusting

[@taraholroyd2031]

Guarantee that CPS has been involved on and off for years. They didn't take her to the Dr because they would've been reported. The cop saying lets not talk about injuries but that they didn't take her to get medical care.

[@NikkiPretorius]

What the heck is happening with all the parents either killing their own children or literally neglecting them to the point of death? This is becoming more and more prevalent.

[@bbaraider]

Too bad money will be wasted on these two vile people. Rest in Paradise, you beautiful soul. I'm so sorry that the person who you were supposed to trust and care for you, let you suffer and leave this earth. 🥺💔🙏

[@mdonohue3059]

How exactly did the initial injury happen?

[@bearceuse1]

WTH??? Lock ‘em’ up

[@Yellowroseintexas5]

Don’t deserve be parents

[@janetcampbell5678]

OMG! May this young lady R.I.P

[@qsita]

That sheriff 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

[@hellynnwheels6819]

Are you and I the only ones who noticed?! 😂

[@shanna1534]

Mom was definitely jealous of her daughter

[@TNcatlover33]

Why is he being so shady on what was wrong with her?
