That is so sad. The mom has a few fb pages. One has photos of the kids looking pretty healthy last year. Lice treatment isn’t that expensive but she might have thought she couldn’t afford a few rounds of treatment for everyone in the house. She tried to treat the lice with mouthwash instead.

No words for this totally avoidable horror.
Let that little girl now fly high and away from all pain and hunger.
First degree murder is exactly what that was -- I am glad to see they are charged that way.

Yes, totally avoidable and preventable. What in the world are people thinking? The grandmother looks scary anyway, poor kids were probably all neglected and the g'ma was mad she had to take care of her grandchildren...instead of loving it like caring grandmothers do.

You said it, @sallye818. We and the rest of the world will never know what this child might have done and accomplished in her life. SMH.
You just don't waste children -- they are too precious.

So true @borndem .

I do want to apologize, I typed "it" when I meant to type "them" (as in grandchildren). That part of the post sounded very uncaring.

No apology necessary -- I think we understood what you were saying, @sallye818
