"I F'ed up" equals:

It is all about me
Oopsy
Poor me

So much is conveyed in those words.

The family — a mother, a stepfather and two young children — seemed no different from the thousands who seek refuge in New York City’s shelters, struggling to turn their lives and finances around. But that all changed when the family was thrust into the spotlight when the stepfather was accused of beating the younger child to death after she soiled her pants. The girl, Jeida Torres, was 3.
In the aftermath of Jeida’s death, New York City has adopted an aggressive strategy of trying to prevent other tragedies by focusing on homeless families in which children are considered at high risk for abuse and neglect. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services, the child welfare agency, has worked with about a quarter of the families in shelters, but many families, including Jeida’s, have had no contact with the agency, according to city and police officials.

Kelsey was to have had a court date in February but I can find no updates on it.

October 2015:

Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson today announced that a Bushwick man pleaded guilty to the 2014 murder of his 3-year-old stepdaughter, Jeida Torres, who was fatally beaten, and to the assault of his 5-year-old stepson, Andrew Torres. The defendant is expected to be sentenced to 15 years to life in prison in exchange for his guilty plea.
