Second time ๐ค no excuse she wanted to do it ๐ evil ๐ก grandmother ๐ก she is a monster but why her daughter one's again let the baby with her again if she knows that the mom is evil ๐ก
Tracy didn't care enough
She belongs in prison
If you have the propensity of falling asleep during the day, you set your phone to wake you up.
Drunk
Stop wasting $$ obviously guilty life !!!
She fell asleep while watching a 16-month-old child, who wandered away and fell into a pond, and there's not enough evidence to prove culpable negligence??!!
Oh my Lord ๐ข
Whatโs the deal with the babyโs mom? She acts like a crack head
What person in their right mind would go "Let me get mom who neglected my other child that then died as a result less than a year ago to watch this one"?
This woman must be punished for her gross negligence as she just went inside to rest and practice piano for long time. She is incapable to take care of children as another child drawn into pond while in her custody. She is a self obsessed woman.
This is the second child that has died at the hands of Kayla's mother. Idk if I would've given my own mother a second chance to do the same. The first time not enough evidence? She fell asleep while watching a child!!! How much more evidence do you need!!!! This little girls death is no accident especially after one child has died in your care!!!
She left her on purpose cause she went home to be with her dog. She needs jail time
For gods sake get testing for different neuro degenerative diseases
She fell asleep the first time for 10 HOURS because she had taken pills. And yet, she babysat again.
Her body language is offโฆ
now she's eyeing the treble!
She doesn't even look remorseful
I donโt believe the parents!!! They are off, are they on drugs? They look weirder each interview they give. And sorry but they already had another kid.. they should probably stop having kids until they have a trusted caregiver.
Reason why I wonโt allow my own mother to even watch my first kid. Let alone any others. Not everyone is cut out to watch babies and thatโs fine but then know your own limitations.
Itโs no way this wasnโt purposely done! She should have been locked up for the first baby๐ค
I would not entrust my child in her care for a second time. Those poor babies were not supervised by one of the most trusted person in their lives.
That woman sat there clearly has no remorse or shame! After the first loss of their son I'm amazed they felt it ok to "look after" their daughter ๐
#1-Mother & Father of child….Y N THE F F F F F F WOULD U LEAVE A 2ND CHILD WITH A NEGLIGENT GUARDIAN WHO ALLOWED UR 1ST CHILD TO DIE?????? yall need to be charged with SEVERE NEGLIGENCE! i bet they would not take a 2nd child to the same daycare that killed the first so y let your wack negligent mother have the 2nd child who was even younger? sounds to me like u wanted the child to die and all involved EXCEPT THE KIDS decided this would be a way to get rid of the kids and because we white and crying, nobody will go to jail and we just have to pay for lawyer fees. with parents like these, THOSE KIDS ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE! I PRAY THE 3RD CHILD MAKES IT TO ADULTHOOD UNSCATHED. IF MY MOM had done what she did with 1st kid, I WOULD NOT EVEN EVER TALK TO HER AGAIN! F LETTING HER WATCH ANOTHER OF MY KIDS….AND FOR THE HUSBAND TO ALLOW THIS, THIS IS WHY I SAY ITS A CONSPIRACY TO KILL THE KIDS UNTIL I GUESS THEY GOT THE PERFECT CHILD.
If you're "devastated by what happened", plead guilty.
She deserves punishment. What is her excuse. Why did her daughter allow her to watch her daughter when 2 years before her son dies in her motherโs care.where was the grandfather?
Taking care of a baby it's a huge responsibility. If the grandmother has some form of dementia, she's also a victim in this case. It's almost the same as expering a 3 year old, to care for a 2 year old.
Fallen asleep while your grandson walks to the pond? I have never fallen asleep…but she could have locked the doors…she could have put an alarm on the door…both deaths smell of evil.
Shes a bloody good actress shows no sign pf remorse
She is either an idiot or murderer.
There is something really wrong with her, like she doesn't think what she did was negligent??!!! Some fervent church goer.
After first death they shouldnโt allowed her to watch baby just for precaution
I don't like this story. Parents should decide what's to do about it ??โคโค
The Grandmother seems like a Narrissicit and the daughter was the scapegoat she probably was groomed her who life by this evil, demonic woman Grandmother. They are very clever and she probably manipulated the daughter into letting her watch her child.The Grandmother is pure evil and knew damn well what she was doing. She hates her daughter and destroyed what her daughter loves so much. Justice for Both of these innocent babies. ๐๐๐๐
Horrible and I wonder how she can even hold up her head, and wouldnโt she feel responsible for the first death and refuse to take care of the second child??
'she was devastated at what happened' but not what she had done. it didn't just 'happen' . The language of dissasociation , she is accepting no blame.
Sus all around. The couple don't seem distraught and look like addicts.
Second grandchild death??? The mother is just as guiltyโฆ. Mother should have never let her keep her child.
Nope, sorry. This wasn't an accident. For a grandmother to kill one grandchild by "accident" is highly unlikely to begin with due the fact that we treasure every moment we get with our grandchildren. She knew and was fully cognizant of what she was doing.
They all seem very forgetful. That poor baby. I just can't even imagine how you can just leave a baby in a car, not alone Your own grandchild. Why would you have your mother watch your sec. child after what happened to your first child, Didn't take long to have a 3rd child. Hope the grandmother does not have any interaction with the 3rd child. This story for the baby is the only thing I see that is so sad…too many
red flags
I just dont feel like this is accidental, it seems like she wants her daughter to suffer or be in pain. She just seems to be pretty cold and hollow shelled.
Why the parent trusted her again to be around their children
