FB RUMOR- body in water near Coffee Creek Bridge, waiting for confirmation. That was posted 40 mins ago.

I just got the update via text Gardenlady.

My heart is breaking.

FB RUMOR - search center being closed; coroner has been called. Nothing confirmed.

Edit: this info has been taken down as quickly as it was posted. Take it for what you will.

This little one with the big brown eyes and curls really gets to me. She and little Ava Riggle look a lot like my daughter did at that age, gives me goosebumps.

So sad for them and their families.

Comment from a neighbor says Mom was mentally ill. Father tried to have child removed from her custody several times, saying she was going to hurt the child.

How many times does this have to happen?

 

[Gardenlady]

There are some very revealing comments at that redding.com article.

I wish people took mental illness more seriously. We see over and over again what happens when those who need help are not given it. We can't just sweep it under the rug and hope for the best. This is also why the denial of the parents and the seemingly lax house arrest standards in the Guy case worry me so much. Clearly there is some kind of illness involved, and there is another little one at risk there. God forbid little Z ends up like poor Sophia someday. So awful and so frustrating! :banghead:

I was just going to say something about the Guy case, you are so right!

Maybe there's still hope. Someone assumed because she was arrested and then heard a scanner call for a different incident.

[Janeumayer]

I am crying it's so inhuman to do this to anyone most of all a child. God Bless you Sophia. You are now an Angel in Heaven as you were on Earth.

Does this make sense to anyone? Is there background info on the mom?
