Right. And if it happened to your child would you leave your child with the person who wasn’t capable of protecting your child….especially for something non-emergent. It’s a very awkward situation and arrangement.
@sunshinem.8216 I don't think it was a case, but I looked it up and apparently the same daughter had a 16 month old son that drowned in a pond under the grandma's care because grandma had fallen asleep, this happened less than a year prior to this. My question is Why would you ever leave your child with her again..
The GM is currently on trial, but I agree, the mother was negligent as well. Does it rise to the level of criminality? That's for a prosecutor to decide. However, in the court of public opionion, she's definitely guilty of negligence in putting her own hair appointment and "me time" above her baby girl's safety.
@@ElahehDaisy 100 percent, and now the mom wants that earlier case looked into further. Honey the writing was on the wall for you when your baby boy died under your mother's care while you were pregnant with your baby girl. Your mother (GM) took a nap while your baby boy toddled out of the house as toddlers do, while GM was napping, crawled under a fence, landed in a pond, and died, and where was GP while GM was snoozing? Yet, you chose to leave your infant baby girl with the same person that you know caused the death of your infant boy for a flipping hair appointment and chose to have yourself some "me time" afterwards instead of rescuing your baby girl from GM who was more insterested in playing her piano and talking to her dog than your baby girl that was being burned alive in the backseat of her car because she forgot or had more important things to do.
The mother definetely was negligent too. Instead of picking her baby up after the hair appointment was done she went home to do laundry and didn't even bother calling the grandmother to check if the baby was okay, after what happened to the first child she should be calling often
I just can’t wrap my head around the mother’s decision to leave her baby with the mom after everything. Something is so off about everything. So many people failed this baby girl.
That’s my thoughts too. Even if she believed 100% it was an accident with her son, it still would be normal for her to never trust leaving her child with her mom again. Unless she figured the baby would be a different story because she couldn’t wander off.
@@trishaherom5302 there is the paradigm of the overworked mom with mom-brain, who gets her two toddlers and the groceries into the house, sits down, finally!, while her infant is still in the car. Every day is full of moments, each moment is an opportunity to screw up.
It happened to me. I left my 6 mo in a hot car and it was a total accident. When I realized she was in the car I ran to her and she was almost passed out. We got wet rags and water. She was fine
The amount of time the child was left in the vehicle is troubling also. To go that many hours without an inclining of remembrance that you had picked up your precious infant grandchild is very hard to fathom.
And the mother didn't remember to call the grandmother to check if the baby was okay during that time, if she did that maybe the baby would still be alive
So Tracey had her day already planned out. She was going to a church meeting,she was meeting her friends for lunch and then she was going to be looking after another grandchild and planned to take him Christmas shopping. Out of the blue she got a text from Uriels mother asking her to collect and look after the baby as she had a hair appointment. Tracey dutifully agreed, collected Uriel and took her to lunch with her friends. Tracey cared for Uriel during lunch but was also focused on getting back home as her grandson was due to picked up from school by her. I guess Uriel had fallen asleep on the journey home and therefore wasn’t making a sound. Tracey arrived home, still focused on her collecting her grandson from school and went about her day as normal. She forgot about Uriel. Many cases, where an infant has been left in a vehicle, happens when the person’s planned routine has been interrupted and suddenly being responsible for the infant was not part of the already pre-planned day ahead. It’s utterly tragic. Tracey had already lost a grandchild on her watch when she fell asleep and the child managed to leave the house culminating in a drowning in a pond. That red flag was ignored by her daughters who continued to call on her as an unpaid babysitter..under the pretence that they were showing her trust. I honestly think I would have taken my own life if I were in Tracey’s position, even though I believe the deaths were accidental, personally I couldn’t live with myself.
If you preplan your day to the point that you cant handle and be responsible for a change then you should decline!!! Especially since this is not her first time. No excuse!!! I agree with you I couldn't live with myself.
From what I read, GM was practicing her piano while the baby was being burned alive in her care because she forgot about her, and the Mom was too engrossed with getting her hair done and having some "me" time to care about how her baby girl was doing.
My dad told me flat out that he would never watch my kids for me because he's "too old." His words not mine. As for my mom she has schizophrenia so I don't really trust my kids with her. There are too many accidents where grandkids have died in the grandparents care unfortunately.
"holding back tears!??" I can't imagine being able to "hold back tears" if my baby died at all let alone that way. There's something really off about Uriel's mother.
I think it's a little strange she didn't text her mom little things like how is she doing and such... I wouldn't go 5 hours without knowing how my daughter was doing
@@jann4sundown But the Mom knew her son had died less than a year earlier under GM's care because GM was napping while the baby boy wondered in a pond and died.
I still don't understand why she was ok with leaving her second child with her mother, knowing what had happened with the first one. And that the husband was ok with it, too. It's weird.
If it was your Mum, and she was in hysterics over the death of the first child (needed counselling) you might think it was a horrible accident and you don’t want to make your Mum feel you blame her…..
@@charlenerathgeb8217 exactly. That is how I feel. You try and support your Mother, and let her know it was an accident and you don't blame her. I think asking her to babysit again was a generous olive branch - that went horribly wrong. This poor woman must have thought she was in a never ending nightmare when the police arrived to inform her, her daughter was dead.
You don’t understand because you’ve never been through it. Try to remember before passing judgement please always remember that if you haven’t been through it you have no idea what you would do.
@Sadie-yp2ut , that's true, I haven't. I am a mother first, my child comes first, and I would never again leave a future child with my mother, after she accidentally killed my first one.
What happened to that poor child is absolutely horrible. However, I can't help but notice how weird everyone in the family seems to be. Weird facial expressions, weird mannerisms and definitely weird choices. This entire family seems a bit "off".
@@nevertrump-z2y sometimes you just need a break, BUT, if your first child died under her watch, I would never trust her with another child again. I feel for the parents though, lack of judgement.
I agree. I’ve seen several of her interviews and had the same feeling every time. Then I think how she allowed her mom to watch her rainbow baby after her mom was responsible for the first child’s death, and realize something is really off with her decision making skills.
Lots of parents do it because it’s easy to get the child out. I don’t like it when I see if because I know what could happen in the event of a collision. Very unsafe!!
@ my bad, I actually thought it was against the law, because there is protocol on how to use a car seat and all instruction on car seats show to put it on the passengers back side, and there are actually people in each state that show people for free how to safely install car seats, we have them in out state. You would think such a well educated woman that has been an educator most of her life would know or research it and be very particular about safety, rather than risking her grandchild’s safety for convenience sake, but I guess if she was on all the medicines, that were brought out in court, safety would be last on her mind. Obviously her strategy didn’t pay off for her, a child is dead because of her.
Whether it was last minute or not that is no excuse for leaving her grandchild in a hot car and that is not the first grandchild that passed away in her care I took care of my grandchildren when they were babies and I always knew that they were in the backseat of my car‼️
Because you Ma'am, are Awesome. My mother had custody of my niece kids and when she knew she could no longer care for them, my sister moved in with her till our niece got them back. My mother loves all her grandbabies but she knows she can't do it anymore and will tell her it's just not safe.
Family and friends all remarked about how I did not cry at my mother's funeral. Nor at the dinner later. What they did not see was when I went to her grave that night and cried so loudly that people a block away called the police to report it.
At the end of the day, no one expects their mother to be someone they can’t trust. Sometimes horrible accidents happen. Who thinks that it will happen twice? To me the mother just seems to be getting through it. I don’t think she’s emotionless at all. Grief is different for everyone. I couldn’t imagine not trusting my mom with my children. They also prep ppl for trial as well. It’s just all around a crazy situation. I couldn’t even imagine but I feel for the mother. Two kids?? Insane.
Why this lady would leave her child with her mom after what happened the last time is beyond my understanding unless shes really just pinning this on mom.
Right. I could understand forgiving and reconciling with the grandmother after the first death. I absolutely cannot understand why you would ever, in any circumstances, allow her unsupervised with the children again.
Almost feels like she didn't want kids that aren't self sufficient. She would have to take care of little one and didn't want to be bothered while getting her hair done. If that's the job they did, it was money and time wasted cause it looks like trash. She should just keep her legs shut. She should also be in prison with her mother. Failure to protect after her mom already let one baby die.
Im sorry, but there is no way on God's green earth that I would allow my mother to watch my child, after "accidentally" killing a previous child of mine. Absolutely not. The child would've been better off home, alone. 😢 The mom is weird... She sounds like she is at a job interview. I know its been 2 years, but she sounds completely disconnected.
So you don’t want to take your rainbow baby to the hairdressers but you let your mum take her to lunch! Why would you not take her with you, i don’t understand.
@@jennyray1476 A rainbow baby is a baby born subsequent to a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant from natural causes. In this case, Uriel was the rainbow as she was born after her infant brother drowned while he was in the care of the grandmother.

I agree. The mom is off makess me think her mom was giving her drug money or financially supporting her in some way. I hope CPS gets involved to protect her other kids.
Having lost my daughter to a traffic accident it is unreasonable to expect hysterics almost 3 years later. I shut down completely for years after my daughters death. At some point I couldn't cry at all. I felt so guilty for being unable to cry but through much counseling I found that I had compartmentalized to simply survive. Don't judge until you have walked in her shoes.
The adults are just as accountable and guilty with this. The grandparents are already old and kids constantly ask their parents to babysit and do all sorts of stuff. WHY can't you look after your own children? A lot of children take advantage of their parents to do responsibilities that they should be doing. Grandparents are retired. They've done all that. They don't need to be baby sitting all over again
A lot of grandparents love babysitting their grandchildren if they’re still capable , but this grandmother is not . She could never have been allowed to keep a baby after losing the first one, accident or not. This mother is to blame just as much.
I'm so sorry to hear this Louette. I'm sure it wasn't your fault. My daughter got out of the house one day,, when my husband had left her home with me, while I was sleeping. Even though it only lasted about 10 minutes, it was terrifying. If I had lost a grandchild on my watch, I would never want to be alone with a child again. If this 2nd thing happened with the baby? I'd go walk out in traffic, or jump off a bridge. I couldn't live with myself if I was responsible for the death.
It was a few hours only and she was having her hair done and knew her mother was having lunch with friends … it was a one off thing … she probably didn’t have the time and also knew her mum would be busy with the baby and her friends ….
@@orcuttcatit’s only odd if you think the grandma had intentionally drowned the grandson. If time goes by and the cops did an investigation and ruled it as an accident you’d likely feel bad for being so distant from ur mom and when u needed a babysitter for a few hrs you’d think of her. That’s her mother. Not some random person. It’s someone she trusts a lot and she probably was suspicious of her son’s death but probably felt bad thinking it was intentional cus that’s her mother. I’d never think my mom would be capable of somehow killing my second baby and that was this mother’s mentality in my opinion. I have a feeling the grandma has a lot of secrets and she got away with killing the first baby so she tried to do it again and got caught. She may be jealous or plain evil or both
A Person could be suffering from Alzheimer before the members of the family have taken the time to make observations. I do not know if this was the case, however it could be.
GET OVER YOUR SOAP OPERA ATTITUDE...... YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS MOTHER'S HEART ........ JUST MAYBE SHE IS TRYING HARD TO HOLD HERSELF TOGETHER ...
Your mama caused the death of two of your babies, are you gonna let her keep your newest baby when she gets off? Unfortunately i think she will because of the suppression of evidence of the first baby death.
This is the second child of this poor mom to die while in the care of HER mother. One child, I could call an accident, but TWO babies dead in this woman’s care? Nah. Something is wrong. Something is very very wrong.
This mother just doesn't sit right with me. At first I heard the grandmother was drunk and passed out on her couch and now I'm hearing it was a bible study she went to. The actual mother claims she took her children everywhere but now that's two kids she had her mother watching and were subsequently killed. She seems so matter of fact (as does the husband). I wouldn't doubt if they played a hand in it. You're such a great mom but lets leave a second child with an incompetent grandmother? I think cps should be investigating this family and the other two kids they now have. Something isn't right.
Boy oh boy, she is sure trying to make sure she isn’t responsible in any way, shape or form!!! The police officer is more emotional than the baby’s mother !!! Sorry but something is off with her !
The only thing off is shes lost two babies and neither was her fault. She left her baby with someone she trusted. Yes, if it was me theres no way grandma would have had any time with the 2nd one but we dont know all the specifics/trauma the mother has suffered. The mother deserves sympathy for losing two babies. She didnt plan these things to happen
The defense attorney is trying to say " You forgot you had a hair appointment..that must happen alot...like forgetting you have a child in your care" Laughing about it , is unacceptable!
I don't think the mother is blameless in this; leaving her child with her mother was convenient for her, and that was more important than the welfare of her baby.
@@stephaniebradshaw3930I have a question for you. If you had a child and a tragedy occurred to the child while a babysitter was supposed to be watching them, would you ever trust that babysitter again, no matter who it was?
I'm sorry, but kids need to listen to their mums. (In this case, Grandma) when she tries to explain to her daughter, she's busy with a luncheon at a restaurant. Even after her hair appointment, this mum didn't collect her daughter. Kids put way too much pressure on Grandparents. And Grandparents need to learn to sometimes use the word 'NO!'
They knew she had memory problems, they knew because she had to retire, not ideal for a baby is it, maybe the older grandchild as they can basically look after themselves, but a toddler or a baby, nopt, as a parent you have to always put your children 1st, sori granny's aren't free babysitters, they might not have the same abilities anymore, different if they do, but this grandma didn't and they put pressure on her to mind a baby & another kid, with memory issues, especially when they just sprong it on her last minute, maybe that could be a issue here, when she had her day already mapped out in her mind, had went over& over it again in her mind to prepare for that day..yes I have memory issues & no I don't or wouldn't mind a young child now..com-on it asking for trouble..
As someone else commented here, she sounds like she’s at a job interview. It’s so bizarre. And what the heck was she doing @ 8:51 when he asks where she went? Something’s off w this family. On the 911 call that her sister made, she didn’t want to check if the baby was breathing or not. She just kept saying she needs to get out of there. She didn’t want her own son to see what was happening, which I get, but still…..
Totally agree, but something is "off" with the sister too because she was actually to drop her son off for GM to watch after knowing GM had already been responsible for the death of her grandchild Ezra less than a year ago.
She should have picked the child up after her hair appointment especially of the knowing that her mother allowed the death of another child, I would NOT allow my child to be around hjer grand mother if a child had died in her care.
I’m interested to see if any cognitive exams were performed on ol meemaw to test for neurological conditions that could contribute to such a significant memory problem
This mom rubs me the wrong way. There’s clearly something wrong with her. She couldn’t squeeze out a single tear for her dead daughter. I’m scared to death for her newest child. I sincerely think this mom has a form of munchausen by proxy. Instead of hurting her children herself, she uses her own mother, knowing grandma is irresponsible with the children, and it gives her the attention she craves. I think the husband is not blameless in this either. What father would allow his kid to be sent to an irresponsible grandma that already let one of his children die? I feel heartbroken for the grandpa.
Yes thank you! Almost disgusting isn't it it. Like...let the sheets cool. Let Uri's carseat cool. Piggy-backing on all the comments saying she's acting like she's at an interview- definitely, more like an audition. Maybe that's it- some kind of theater arts job. Ugghhh so sad!
Your mother was responsible for your sons death, yet you give her another chance to take another child's life. Mom or not theres no way my mother wouldve been given a second chance to take a second childs life
Something seems really off with the sister’s testimony and how anxious she was to get home. What is wrong with her 12 year old child that he couldn’t go sitting on a porch and let her try to assist in giving CPR to that child? Why she wanted to hang up with 911 more than anything else in the world and leave I don’t understand it. It could not have been more than 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Did anyone else get a weird feeling from that 911 call?
Yes, I agree. She also didn't even call her sister to tell her that her baby was dying, a cop had to go to her house to tell the mom her baby was dead! That's absolutely absurd! Her own family didn't call the mom to yell her to get over there quickly! But after watching the video of the Physchologist, he went over a list of medication the grandmother was on, and he said the meds made her behave odd, so I think all three of them were are on meds, that's why they all seem so odd… poor baby/kids being raised by adults on meds!
This is a bizarre case. Her other child died by drowning while in the care of the grandmother not long before this accident. Something is wrong with this lady as well WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would leave a second child with someone that let their first child drown. Family of nut jobs.
I think if one of my daughters heard that I had a lunch date,with friends,she wd have said ,"okay,no probs,I will change my hair appointment".Grandparents also have their own lives .Just saying, this situation is too sad for all involved 😢
I don’t understand why the law is applied differently to the citizens of this country. The illegal woman who left her three children in the car to go shopping for hours, was released after paying a bond. One of the kids has permanent cerebral damage after this. I don’t get it.
As everyone else is wondering , what is wrong with her leaving her baby with the same woman who was responsible for her sons death. Visit mom often but stay with her when she is seeing her grandchildren. Had to know mom not super on top of everything .
I can't understand why the parents aren't held accountable for leaving their child with the mother...after the first incident...I find the parents irresponsible ...her hair is more important than her child...shame on her...letting her mom go to prison..when she should be in prison...
I will never understand how after losing one child this mother let her mother watch another child so she could go to a hair appointment. If the baby was fine to go to lunch with Grandma and Grandma's friends, why not just take her with you to the hair appt? 7 month olds are not mobile. I just don't understand, especially given Grandma's background. This is tragic.
Mom seems to be focused on not making herself seem culpable - not blaming her at all for the tragedy - but she really wants to get ahead of the “bad mom” comments.
Sounds like mom is getting prepared for a lawsuit against cps as if she didnt know who was responsible for her sons death. Also, maybe her mom has dementia or something to have thay happen twice.
I'm sorry, but after the first accident, no way I would leave another child with her.
I’d guess that free childcare was her priority over the safety of her child.

First off my mom wouldn’t watch another child after one died for the sake of both of us, and if I did let her i would be checking in hourly.
She ABSOLUTELY should have been calling and checking on her child.

The grandma allowed the baby to die, not the mom.
@@jann4sundown2nd grandchild who died
Way to make a mother who lost their blood feel way worse..
Cruel
@@jann4sundown But the Mom knew her son had died less than a year earlier under GM's care because GM was napping while the baby boy wondered in a pond and died.
Children are no longer Priorities theses days
The mom amd grandma should both be in jail
Negligence on borh women
I still don't understand why she was ok with leaving her second child with her mother, knowing what had happened with the first one.
And that the husband was ok with it, too. It's weird.
If it was your Mum, and she was in hysterics over the death of the first child (needed counselling) you might think it was a horrible accident and you don’t want to make your Mum feel you blame her…..
@@charlenerathgeb8217 exactly. That is how I feel. You try and support your Mother, and let her know it was an accident and you don't blame her. I think asking her to babysit again was a generous olive branch - that went horribly wrong. This poor woman must have thought she was in a never ending nightmare when the police arrived to inform her, her daughter was dead.
You don’t understand because you’ve never been through it. Try to remember before passing judgement please always remember that if you haven’t been through it you have no idea what you would do.
@Sadie-yp2ut , that's true, I haven't. I am a mother first, my child comes first, and I would never again leave a future child with my mother, after she accidentally killed my first one.
@@charlenerathgeb8217that still doesn't explain why Kaila didn't call her mother to check if the baby was okay during the 5 hours she was away
What happened to that poor child is absolutely horrible. However, I can't help but notice how weird everyone in the family seems to be. Weird facial expressions, weird mannerisms and definitely weird choices. This entire family seems a bit "off".
I agree. This mom and the dad spoke outside after the verdict and she just rambled on and on. It was bizarre.
If you can take your baby to work, you can take your baby to your hair appointment
Nice victim blaming. 🙄
@@nevertrump-z2y sometimes you just need a break, BUT, if your first child died under her watch, I would never trust her with another child again. I feel for the parents though, lack of judgement.
Her affect is off and so are her emotions. Bizarre.
Very bizarre..... something is definitely off with these women. I'm getting Munchausen vibes from this mother.
Medication
I agree. I’ve seen several of her interviews and had the same feeling every time. Then I think how she allowed her mom to watch her rainbow baby after her mom was responsible for the first child’s death, and realize something is really off with her decision making skills.
Maybe it’s the fact she has lost two babies and is in a courtroom testifying against her own mother.
Think my affect would be a bit off too.
When they asked what year she was born it took her a minute to say.... Weird
Why would she put the car seat behind the drivers seat… totally wrong and dangerous, you can’t see the child.
That's what I'm saying, everything in this interview of her is wrong.
Lots of parents do it because it’s easy to get the child out. I don’t like it when I see if because I know what could happen in the event of a collision. Very unsafe!!
@@sharonfike5379it’s against the law to place a car seat behind the drivers seat?
@ my bad, I actually thought it was against the law, because there is protocol on how to use a car seat and all instruction on car seats show to put it on the passengers back side, and there are actually people in each state that show people for free how to safely install car seats, we have them in out state. You would think such a well educated woman that has been an educator most of her life would know or research it and be very particular about safety, rather than risking her grandchild’s safety for convenience sake, but I guess if she was on all the medicines, that were brought out in court, safety would be last on her mind. Obviously her strategy didn’t pay off for her, a child is dead because of her.
@@sharonfike5379I'm honestly curious because I've never heard this. It's safer for the child to be behind the passenger seat?
Her family didnt even call her to tell her mother had killed the baby! What is WRONG with these people.
Odd family
Why would the Mother let her watch a child AGAIN ? What's wrong with ppl ???????
Whether it was last minute or not that is no excuse for leaving her grandchild in a hot car and that is not the first grandchild that passed away in her care I took care of my grandchildren when they were babies and I always knew that they were in the backseat of my car‼️
And who isn’t extra paranoid and cautions when caring for another’s child!!!!!
Because you Ma'am, are Awesome. My mother had custody of my niece kids and when she knew she could no longer care for them, my sister moved in with her till our niece got them back. My mother loves all her grandbabies but she knows she can't do it anymore and will tell her it's just not safe.
This woman is every bit as bad as the grandmother. Who leaves your kid with someone who already allowed a child to die under their care.
Well said
Mother so guilty for leaving her children with a negligent grandma
She is trying too hard to convince everyone what a great mother she is always with her kids. Something about her is off.
Yes!!! I noticed that. Overcompensating on every answer
@@ashleycountiss720 100 percent!
Tragic and no excuse for a child dying in this manner-- shame on that grandmother
Why did she leave her kid with this killer mom of hers after she already killed another kid!!!
“Your baby is dead, your child is dead, your daughter is deceased” why did she say it like that? I don’t know, she’s a bit off.
Performing I feel with all of them
that's how the officer told her
She was weird. I kinda doubt the officer threw those three sentences at her in a row like that.
@@nooneyouknow5516exactly what I was thinking.
I think she's heavily medicated I'm trying not to judge cuz I couldn't imagine her pain and we really don't know.
Defense attorney chuckling as he questions the mother of the poor child who died. Clueless.
Like mother like daughter. Stone cold.
Her hair appointment was more important than the care of her daughter
Very emotionless. I would have been bawling on the stand.
The mother definitely is emotionless ...the father less so...the mother gives off weird vibes like her killer mother
I believe the mother is heavily medicated to deal with the trauma. The flat affect in her speech points to that…
Family and friends all remarked about how I did not cry at my mother's funeral. Nor at the dinner later. What they did not see was when I went to her grave that night and cried so loudly that people a block away called the police to report it.
At the end of the day, no one expects their mother to be someone they can’t trust. Sometimes horrible accidents happen. Who thinks that it will happen twice? To me the mother just seems to be getting through it. I don’t think she’s emotionless at all. Grief is different for everyone. I couldn’t imagine not trusting my mom with my children. They also prep ppl for trial as well. It’s just all around a crazy situation. I couldn’t even imagine but I feel for the mother. Two kids?? Insane.
Why this lady would leave her child with her mom after what happened the last time is beyond my understanding unless shes really just pinning this on mom.
Right. I could understand forgiving and reconciling with the grandmother after the first death. I absolutely cannot understand why you would ever, in any circumstances, allow her unsupervised with the children again.
Almost feels like she didn't want kids that aren't self sufficient. She would have to take care of little one and didn't want to be bothered while getting her hair done. If that's the job they did, it was money and time wasted cause it looks like trash. She should just keep her legs shut. She should also be in prison with her mother. Failure to protect after her mom already let one baby die.
Im sorry, but there is no way on God's green earth that I would allow my mother to watch my child, after "accidentally" killing a previous child of mine. Absolutely not. The child would've been better off home, alone. 😢
The mom is weird... She sounds like she is at a job interview. I know its been 2 years, but she sounds completely disconnected.
I agree
The other child that passed was this girl’s kid too? 😮
@@vjimenez8 yep.
Agreed...she sounds medicated
She most likely has to be medicated.
So you don’t want to take your rainbow baby to the hairdressers but you let your mum take her to lunch! Why would you not take her with you, i don’t understand.
She wanted alone time she said

This mother is speaking so non chalantly about her daughters death wow
My reaction exactly. I cried more than she did.
I agree. The mom is off makess me think her mom was giving her drug money or financially supporting her in some way. I hope CPS gets involved to protect her other kids.
Not a tear I'd be in hysterics if this happened to my baby.
I think id be in jail if this happened to me.
Me too
Having lost my daughter to a traffic accident it is unreasonable to expect hysterics almost 3 years later. I shut down completely for years after my daughters death. At some point I couldn't cry at all. I felt so guilty for being unable to cry but through much counseling I found that I had compartmentalized to simply survive. Don't judge until you have walked in her shoes.
@@deedkI’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter.
@MiMi-kx1vy thank you for your kind words.
Mom has same aura Grandma does. Something isn’t right with these two. She named her second daughter very similar to her first…that’s strange.
This woman left an innocent baby with someone who already killed one! She should be locked up too.
The adults are just as accountable and guilty with this. The grandparents are already old and kids constantly ask their parents to babysit and do all sorts of stuff. WHY can't you look after your own children? A lot of children take advantage of their parents to do responsibilities that they should be doing. Grandparents are retired. They've done all that. They don't need to be baby sitting all over again
I agree that people need to quit taking advantage of grandparents. It needs to be the grandparents decision if they want to spend time with the kids.
AGREE 💯
A lot of grandparents love babysitting their grandchildren if they’re still capable , but this grandmother is not . She could never have been allowed to keep a baby after losing the first one, accident or not. This mother is to blame just as much.
Our 9 year old little boy died on November 1st. 2008.
My deepest condolences to these parents. The whole family is deeply hurting. 🙏🏻
I'm so sorry to hear this Louette. I'm sure it wasn't your fault. My daughter got out of the house one day,, when my husband had left her home with me, while I was sleeping. Even though it only lasted about 10 minutes, it was terrifying. If I had lost a grandchild on my watch, I would never want to be alone with a child again. If this 2nd thing happened with the baby? I'd go walk out in traffic, or jump off a bridge. I couldn't live with myself if I was responsible for the death.
This woman has no maternal instinct whatsoever.
its strange that the mother didn't text the mom during the day 😊
It was a few hours only and she was having her hair done and knew her mother was having lunch with friends … it was a one off thing … she probably didn’t have the time and also knew her mum would be busy with the baby and her friends ….
@sallygard63 i understand but under the circumstances of what happened less than a year ago , i find it odd
@@orcuttcatit’s only odd if you think the grandma had intentionally drowned the grandson. If time goes by and the cops did an investigation and ruled it as an accident you’d likely feel bad for being so distant from ur mom and when u needed a babysitter for a few hrs you’d think of her. That’s her mother. Not some random person. It’s someone she trusts a lot and she probably was suspicious of her son’s death but probably felt bad thinking it was intentional cus that’s her mother. I’d never think my mom would be capable of somehow killing my second baby and that was this mother’s mentality in my opinion. I have a feeling the grandma has a lot of secrets and she got away with killing the first baby so she tried to do it again and got caught. She may be jealous or plain evil or both
@@orcuttcat Exactly I would have been extra careful that she didn’t forgot like she did with her son. Whole thing is very strange.
@@kristenpennington9646I know, it's just too coincidental. So sad.
A Person could be suffering from Alzheimer before the members of the family have taken the time to

She was checked out
I was thinking the same thing
I was wondering this too, because Dementia can be a disease that may not be known right away.
She should have made multiple calls to check on her daughter knowing what happened with her other child. Something seems off here.
She’s (Kaila) not “holding back tears”, she’s trying to squeeze some out, but she just can’t. There’s something very suspicious about her 🤔
Same if U watch her interview with the husband they act odd I thought it was just me but I'm glad it's not 😅
GET OVER YOUR SOAP OPERA ATTITUDE...... YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS MOTHER'S HEART ........ JUST MAYBE SHE IS TRYING HARD TO HOLD HERSELF TOGETHER ...
What is everyone implying about the mom? That she somehow was involved in a conspiracy against her child with her mom? That doesn't make sense.
Sthu she probably on medication
@ Yes, drugs of some kind.
This is a sick family. Not one death but two, same individual?
Your mama caused the death of two of your babies, are you gonna let her keep your newest baby when she gets off? Unfortunately i think she will because of the suppression of evidence of the first baby death.
This is so so so sad 😩😩😩
This is the second child of this poor mom to die while in the care of HER mother. One child, I could call an accident, but TWO babies dead in this woman’s care? Nah. Something is wrong. Something is very very wrong.
This mother just doesn't sit right with me. At first I heard the grandmother was drunk and passed out on her couch and now I'm hearing it was a bible study she went to. The actual mother claims she took her children everywhere but now that's two kids she had her mother watching and were subsequently killed. She seems so matter of fact (as does the husband). I wouldn't doubt if they played a hand in it. You're such a great mom but lets leave a second child with an incompetent grandmother? I think cps should be investigating this family and the other two kids they now have. Something isn't right.
I just saw, this is the SECOND grandchild that died under her care!!!
Boy oh boy, she is sure trying to make sure she isn’t responsible in any way, shape or form!!!
The police officer is more emotional than the baby’s mother !!! Sorry but something is off with her !
The only thing off is shes lost two babies and neither was her fault. She left her baby with someone she trusted. Yes, if it was me theres no way grandma would have had any time with the 2nd one but we dont know all the specifics/trauma the mother has suffered. The mother deserves sympathy for losing two babies. She didnt plan these things to happen
100%@@Baking.Building.or.Bording
Shame on you for blaming the mother. Everyone responds to tragedy differently and to decide she is not emotional enough for YOU ispathetic.
I agree…
The defense attorney is trying to say " You forgot you had a hair appointment..that must happen alot...like forgetting you have a child in your care" Laughing about it , is unacceptable!
She's acting like she's having an interview for a job😢
Absolutely.
I imagine she’s pretty numb at this point. Prosecutor would also have had her go over everything over and over before taking the stand
@@emilyk6510she's like it in all her interviews the father too just a bit odd
She is trying to stay calm in court with cops and a judge. Don't blame her for staying composed in a court of law.
She’s very well spoken!
Holds back tears...that mom is guilty. That grandmother isn't well. And she's taking the fall. That mom and the sister are guilty af.
Something is wrong with this woman
I don't think the mother is blameless in this; leaving her child with her mother was convenient for her, and that was more important than the welfare of her baby.
It’s like she’s trying to not implicate her self
Aren’t you the perfect soul looking for blame in everyone else
@@stephaniebradshaw3930I have a question for you. If you had a child and a tragedy occurred to the child while a babysitter was supposed to be watching them, would you ever trust that babysitter again, no matter who it was?
I'm sorry, but kids need to listen to their mums. (In this case, Grandma) when she tries to explain to her daughter, she's busy with a luncheon at a restaurant. Even after her hair appointment, this mum didn't collect her daughter. Kids put way too much pressure on Grandparents. And Grandparents need to learn to sometimes use the word 'NO!'
Still the grandmother is the one responsible with leaving baby to cook in the car at the end of the day
@@emilyk6510 And the Mom is also guilty fir leaving her baby girl with a GM that she knew killed her baby son
They knew she had memory problems, they knew because she had to retire, not ideal for a baby is it, maybe the older grandchild as they can basically look after themselves, but a toddler or a baby, nopt, as a parent you have to always put your children 1st, sori granny's aren't free babysitters, they might not have the same abilities anymore, different if they do, but this grandma didn't and they put pressure on her to mind a baby & another kid, with memory issues, especially when they just sprong it on her last minute, maybe that could be a issue here, when she had her day already mapped out in her mind, had went over& over it again in her mind to prepare for that day..yes I have memory issues & no I don't or wouldn't mind a young child now..com-on it asking for trouble..
The mom knew what kind of person she was leaving that baby with.
The daily child care for this infant seems chaotic.
As someone else commented here, she sounds like she’s at a job interview. It’s so bizarre. And what the heck was she doing @ 8:51 when he asks where she went?
Something’s off w this family. On the 911 call that her sister made, she didn’t want to check if the baby was breathing or not. She just kept saying she needs to get out of there. She didn’t want her own son to see what was happening, which I get, but still…..
That’s what I keep saying. Something is super fishy about it all.
Totally agree, but something is "off" with the sister too because she was actually to drop her son off for GM to watch after knowing GM had already been responsible for the death of her grandchild Ezra less than a year ago.
She should have picked the child up after her hair appointment especially of the knowing that her mother allowed the death of another child, I would NOT allow my child to be around hjer grand mother if a child had died in her care.
I’m interested to see if any cognitive exams were performed on ol meemaw to test for neurological conditions that could contribute to such a significant memory problem
Meemaw😂
How she can talk so calmly? I will be histerically crying 😢
This mom rubs me the wrong way. There’s clearly something wrong with her. She couldn’t squeeze out a single tear for her dead daughter. I’m scared to death for her newest child.
I sincerely think this mom has a form of munchausen by proxy. Instead of hurting her children herself, she uses her own mother, knowing grandma is irresponsible with the children, and it gives her the attention she craves.
I think the husband is not blameless in this either. What father would allow his kid to be sent to an irresponsible grandma that already let one of his children die?
I feel heartbroken for the grandpa.
I think you're onto something. Odd, how she replaces babies with new ones. So she has another new one now?
I cannot understand her attitude. Just discovering this was the second time and she is acting more like these things just happen to babies.
@@marilgoodly3125I mean people have more then one child. I don’t think that alone is suspicious
Yes thank you! Almost disgusting isn't it it. Like...let the sheets cool. Let Uri's carseat cool.
Piggy-backing on all the comments saying she's acting like she's at an interview- definitely, more like an audition. Maybe that's it- some kind of theater arts job. Ugghhh so sad!
Yup. And acting more concerned about HERSELF, and having a free moment to herself, free time to herself, etc.
Your mother was responsible for your sons death, yet you give her another chance to take another child's life. Mom or not theres no way my mother wouldve been given a second chance to take a second childs life
So why couldn't she take her baby to the hairdresser. I mean her Mom had plans too.
Why would anyone leave a child with that woman? Zero sympathy for the parents of the baby
I BLAME THE MOTHER OF THE TWO KIDS
The parents should be on trial also all they wanted was free daycare
Where does her 5yr old son live? Desperately sad that he has lost two siblings in his life already 😢
Does the 5 year old beg mom not to leave him with grandma?
Why didn’t her sister call her or drive to her home to tell her what was happening?
Something is wrong with this mom. She let her mom look after a 2nd child after her first died under her care….
Something seems really off with the sister’s testimony and how anxious she was to get home. What is wrong with her 12 year old child that he couldn’t go sitting on a porch and let her try to assist in giving CPR to that child? Why she wanted to hang up with 911 more than anything else in the world and leave I don’t understand it. It could not have been more than 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Did anyone else get a weird feeling from that 911 call?
Yes, I agree. She also didn't even call her sister to tell her that her baby was dying, a cop had to go to her house to tell the mom her baby was dead! That's absolutely absurd! Her own family didn't call the mom to yell her to get over there quickly!
But after watching the video of the Physchologist, he went over a list of medication the grandmother was on, and he said the meds made her behave odd, so I think all three of them were are on meds, that's why they all seem so odd… poor baby/kids being raised by adults on meds!
Definitely.
Why is this even going to trial???? She didn’t plea? She is a serial baby killer. Period n
This is a bizarre case. Her other child died by drowning while in the care of the grandmother not long before this accident. Something is wrong with this lady as well WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would leave a second child with someone that let their first child drown. Family of nut jobs.
Whoa! Twice? Didn’t know that!
Yep
I think if one of my daughters heard that I had a lunch date,with friends,she wd have said ,"okay,no probs,I will change my hair appointment".Grandparents also have their own lives .Just saying, this situation is too sad for all involved 😢
Sounds like that whole family has memory problems. They forgot that the grandma already killed a kid 😮😮😮😮
Lots of ❤❤❤❤❤ for this Mom
The death of the 1st child was not allowed to be discussed
I don’t understand why the law is applied differently to the citizens of this country. The illegal woman who left her three children in the car to go shopping for hours, was released after paying a bond. One of the kids has permanent cerebral damage after this. I don’t get it.
Why do they draw out questioning so much? The whole court process seems so unnecessarily drawn out
As everyone else is wondering , what is wrong with her leaving her baby with the same woman who was responsible for her sons death. Visit mom often but stay with her when she is seeing her grandchildren. Had to know mom not super on top of everything .
Why does a hair appointment take ALL day?!
She stated that she was there for about 75 minutes before going home to start dinner.
@@RockinStacy just shows she doesn’t value other people’s time.
Or their limitations.
I can't understand why the parents aren't held accountable for leaving their child with the mother...after the first incident...I find the parents irresponsible ...her hair is more important than her child...shame on her...letting her mom go to prison..when she should be in prison...
Now, if the daughter asks again, hopefully, the grandmother will say No!!!!!
GM is going to jail.
@ How long?
I will never understand how after losing one child this mother let her mother watch another child so she could go to a hair appointment. If the baby was fine to go to lunch with Grandma and Grandma's friends, why not just take her with you to the hair appt? 7 month olds are not mobile. I just don't understand, especially given Grandma's background. This is tragic.
Hmm. She's over descriptive and over answers. She doesn't appear to be very sad or distraught.
Mom seems to be focused on not making herself seem culpable - not blaming her at all for the tragedy - but she really wants to get ahead of the “bad mom” comments.
Why wasn't the mother charged also?
Sounds like mom is getting prepared for a lawsuit against cps as if she didnt know who was responsible for her sons death. Also, maybe her mom has dementia or something to have thay happen twice.
No dementia
Or a closet drinker.
This is on the daughter. Obviously, her mom was not qualified to watch children! 🕊
Why did the mother not call the grandmother to check on her baby??
This poor mom will never get over this feeling of guilt 😢
