How..... how do you beat your baby to death!?
I see these cases time and time again and I still cannot fathom how a parent, especially a mother, could attack and harm their baby.

It is mind blowing.

This is Autumns facebook. - second profile here but empty bar 6 friends.
Edit to add: Autumn was married, her husband Austin passed away in December 2022.
Family have a fundraiser up but unable to share link. Can be found in the article shared above my comment.
Sterlings dad is called Joshua Rogers as per the fundraiser.

Grieving grandmother speaks out after daughter charged with killing 8-month-old

The victim’s grandmother said. “He always had a smile on his face—the biggest, brightest blue eyes.
“Her whole life revolved around him. If the babysitter had him, she would call and check on him.
If I had him, she would call and check on him,” Hano said.

Maybe the Mom was contanstantly checking on her baby because of the fear of being caught because the baby had ongoing fractures and bruises.
