Mom must be held accountable
I have been appalled to read about the tragic death of Trinity Hanna. How does this happen to a sweet little 3-year-old?
Here is how it happens: The mother moves in with someone who is addicted to meth and marijuana. Because of his addiction, he is unable to control his emotions and properly take care of this sweet little girl. He becomes angry over his pathetic life and takes it out on this poor child until he finally beats her to death. The mother looks the other way, hoping to maintain her relationship with this animal.
In my view, the mother is equally responsible. She has witnessed this horrific abuse and has done nothing about it. She told Sheriff's deputies she wants anyone suspected of abusing Trinity to suffer "just as the girl did or worse."
I could not agree more. In the end of this investigation, I hope the Sheriff's Department has enough evidence to charge her as she requested, and that she suffers like this poor child and spends the rest of her life in prison.
