Praying for the child that she does recover and does not face any life long effects. The mother should spend the rest of her life in jail

Maybe someone will do the same to her in Prison!! One could only hope! Praying this baby makes a full recovery and never has to know who her birth mother is!!!

Guess starving those horse's on old Alabama road wasn't good enough... Poor baby, I hope she recovers and nothing is wrong with her... As for the mother somebody needs to beat her against the damn pavement....

Its heart breaking to read this. I pray the baby recovers. Wish the article stated if drugs/alcohol were involved and if the witness tried to intervene on the baby's behalf. You only have to press 3 buttons (911) on a phone to get help, if you are too scared to step in. When an innocent child is at risk, make it your business. JS.

A three month old baby. And pregnant again. You know what I am thinking, there is no reason to say it. God help us all.

This makes me sick to my stomach to even read. There are loving people in this world that are trying hard to have a child or even adopt a child of their own that would love and care for them. Then you have cold hearted, cruel, undeserving, things like her (I refuse to call her human.) that are having babies left and right treating their children like they are yesterdays garbage. This is just sick! I hope all the best things for that child.

She has had someone take her Facebook page down knowing that it could be used as evidence against her. I spent some time looking at it last night and realized that she should have been neutered and locked up years ago.
