May god have no mercy upon them. They are on trail and will get what comes to them through criminal justice however the higher judgement day will come at the end of their time and i have no pity on them. Now when will the state take their part for the neglect? Come on people you know it just as well as I know that social services was called to their place on several occassions. Why did the so called protective services neglect to do their JOB.
As for Patrick Watkins i would like to take a baseball bat and beat the living life out of him to show him how Micheala felt. As for Joy, give her to me for 2 hours, I would beat her within an inch of her life.
Although the anger doesn’t now help Micheala, may she rest in peace and all of the classmates loved her and is very very much missed.
This whole situate makes me sick! What these two monsters did to this little girl is so disgusting and evil. I agree with Chrissy - hand them over to the public for a few hours and let them have the beatings that Michaela received from them - dip them in scalding hot water, hit them with a 2×4, etc. These two scum - may they rot in hell for what they did to this child.
For Michaela the worst is over. She is in a far, far better place and will not have to suffer at the hands of the people “who love her”. There is a mother (and I use the word loosely)and several social workers who shares as much responsibility as the two monsters who finally killed her. I wonder how those two monsters feel about having their other children put in the hands of social workers. I hope those children never have to face what Michaela did. I hope God will be merciful to the children and will give their parents what they deserve.
