That was touching. That is my biggest fear. How scary! What an angel. Thank you for sharing this.

I live in Oklahoma and this story consumed us parents, and enraged us as well. It was never decided who exactly did the physical abuse to this poor poor girl, but the mother had to know if by no other means then the fact that when she left her daughter alone with that man, she ended up hurt.

Poor girl... Now she watches over other little children.

That was heartbreaking. It is sad to see that people are out there like this hurting children.

I cant bring myself to watch it. Everytime my twins go with their father for the weekend and come home....I inspect them...freaks me right out...

Yay, now even more stress when the kids go over to my ex wifes place with her new bf. I check them out a lot tho and keep prying into what happened. As the parents (or at least the one of the parents that gives a darn) it is our responsibility to stand up for our children when they can't do it for themselves. I am pretty sure that with my family if someone did anything to my daughter he would very likely end up dead. Some of my relatives are pretty seedy characters but I can truly say we HATE child abusers. I have not pity on them ever.

i didn't even have to watch the video to know what it is. it's been circulating all over myspace. first time i saw it, made me absolutely sick.
i live in a very small town and it seems like everyday there is something in the paper about someone being accused of abusing a child.
i'm getting to the point where i don't want my child to ever be out of my sight but it's hard when i have to work.
she's come home from the sitter with bumps and bruises and burns (yes, burns) but i have no other options and i am racked with guilt. luckily though, i don't have to send her off to her father's or something and i don't have a b/f so the chances of something bad happening are pretty low. thankfully.

wow that was so powerful.. that is one of the reason that i choose to wait on my husband.. he may have made some bad decisions .but he never ever abuse any of our children or myself...when i pick up the newspaper there is always a case of some kind of abuse to children.. i just couldnt bear for something to happen to any of my 8 children and whether they are adults(3) or minors.. I will always want to protect my children.

That was so sad.. Why didnt the mother do anything to protect that innocent baby? That makes me so mad and sick. I scares me, my ex has never been a big part of my kids' lives.. but when he does finally have one steady gf.. will he protect them, or stick up for the gf?

Tears brought to my eyes,

Hay heaven hold her close and may we never forget!

I can not find the words to describe how this makes me feel. I'm crying.
It reminded me of why I was happy that my childs father took that "walk" never to be seen again. He was abusive towards me, and the courts wouldn't put my child on the restraining order, leaving visitations for him without supervision of any kind.

The man hit me in the head with a baseball bat full blow, and they still didn't think my child was in any danger. Talk about lack of trust in the court system.

I am very thankful the the father left, never to be bothered again. He's been gone for 5 years now. I recently found this Single Parents" forum and thought I would join, because we all need a support system and I have no one as do many of us.

My goodness it is so hard for me to understand how anyone could hurt a child like that, my heart hurts for that poor daddy.

What i do not understand is that this por little mite was being so obviously harmed but no one stood up and protected her. Just my opinion but too many times children lose their lives to these monsters that hide behind the title of carer and no one stops it. I feel so sorry for this poor dad that was most likely powerless regardless of what he did and the judge that ruled her to go back to woman that was clearly unfit needs to look no further than the mirror to find where to lay the blame in this case.

I can not believe that this "mother" would stand there and watch this happen. She is the scum of the earth along with her husband. They should never get out of prison.
I have cried for this poor little child, I can not understand why she was returned to the mother twice let alone once. May she rest in peace. And those awful people rot in hell.

that is sooooo sad if anyone ever did that to my son i'd make them wanna friggin die. that poor little girl and her dad=(
