I have seen FL cases start as early as 8 am Central Time. So 9 am FL time.

An article stated both Melissa and her brother were autistic. Taking one look at this beautiful child, I am pretty sure she had a genetic disorder. She may have had autistic behaviors, but as a result of an inborn error.


Too many "autistic" people are denied further testing and medical intervention once they are labeled. A trip to Genetics may have given a "why"- and medical intervention. Too many doctors label too soon.

I am very interested to learn about this... What indicators do you see, and what genetic disorder do you think she may have? I work with children, and would really like to learn more! Thanks

I just bawled my eyes out reading the tweets. I was ok until I got to the part about Melissa liking Winnie the Pooh videos and she'd do her work at school for them. Then I was done. I hope the nurses at the hospital knew that and played Winnie videos even though she couldn't see or hear them. I hope both parents here rot in hell and the bio mom belongs there as well.

I am just trying to catch up on this case and would really appreciate it if you could explain to me the involvement of the bio mom. What I have read is that Melissa had to leave because of older brothers actions. And that bio mom seemed to not know what was happening to her. Are there things that I missed? Thanks!
