- Timmeka Eggleton, a Cleveland woman who previously pled guilty to killing her 3-year-old son, has learned her fate.
While appearing in court on Monday morning, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Brendan J. Sheehan sentenced Eggleton to 31-35 years in prison to life.
In addition, she will have to enroll as a violent offender.
“I am very hurt. My whole family is hurt. Baby Curtis was a blessing to all of us, to my family, to my son… She, Miss Eggleton has really damaged our family. He was the love of all of us. He was a joy to all of us. I have a lot of anger in my heart, but God is working with me on this,” said Jeanette Edinburgh, the grandma of the victim, Curtis Lee James Witcher. “So I would like to say that I hope Miss Eggleton has time to think about what she has done because she took something from us that was a joy. I miss his smiles, I will miss his talks, and I will miss him calling me Nana.”

Killing a child is Evil.
Pure evil. Why get pregnant if you know this
Taking out anyone is evil
@@Tamata58, agreed. Sterilization should be considered in cases like this?
I wish she got life or the death penalty anyone who does this precious child or children!!! I hope this precious child rest in peace 🕊️❤ 🙏 😇!!!/And her other children r in loving caring honest forever home together sending prayers and healing so sad and heartbreaking these children went through❤ 🙏😇🤗
mental health problems...sad happens all over the world
The judge who gave back custody and ripped this baby from the only home he'd ever known should be thrown in jail with her!
Let's not forget DCFS. The Social Workers' who recommended Curtis return to her and the Judge who granted their recommendation should be held accountable.
I always wonder why these people seem to be immune from any punishments. Laws have to change.
Instead of asking herself who she is, maybe WHAT she is is the question. Demon!
@79klkw
I agree, the problem however is
1. Not enough social workers
2. Because there are not enough social workers they lower the bar to become a social worker and thus we end up with unqualified social workers.
3. Social Workers are not paid well and thus how do you convince people to take a job where you mostly work with Terrible people (parents) and have to read case files dealing with horrible abuse for 40k a year *AND* put yourself at risk of being sent to prison if you make a bad call?
The Whole System Needs to Overhauled.
Not jail, in Prison‼️ There is a difference‼️
Who ever approved her to get Curtis back should b held accountable also!!
Social Services isn’t worth a damn as the people who work for it can’t read, write or speak English! Half of them don’t even have diplomas and yet the government does nothing to look into overhauling the program!
Poor baby.
Yeah in jail with her
All involved should be held accountable for real
Hold “safety workers “ are never held
responsible. It is a game to
Them. This needs to
Change
The judge who took this child from the foster family needs to be removed from the bench!
YUP ..but ppl can be very good conn artists 😢
And from free society!
Agree!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Crimes against children need harsher sentencing. This is ridiculous.
i think she, oops sorry 'it' will suffer an awful time in prison and be taken out before its even up for parole. but i agree with your sentiments. should be life with no parole in a cage. over here in ireland a life sentence is 25 years then your out. a disgrace
@@BelfastManUtdTherapy I like it "it." Interesting.
WHERE IS THE FATHER?!!
35 years to life how much time should she get
@@carpediem4512 Which of the six fathers?
She should have gotten life with no parole. She only shed a tear when the Judge mentioned her prison term. Soulless monster
exactly
She didn’t want that baby
The judge is SCUM!!
@@Janiah_isthatgurlJUST his Food Stamps money!!
@@Tryp-j9d not even that she said it her self
It killed me to hear that the toddler would run to his Foster Dads arms when he got home! That's not a Foster Dad... that's a Dad period! I feel for the Foster parents. I hope they can heal over time!
She knew how to lie, manipulate, and make false accusations against innocent people, but she didn't know how to be a mother...she is one sick individual. She should be serving a mandatory life sentence.
I really don’t believe that she’s sick at all. I do believe she’s under Satan control though evil has a way of turning up people to do unspeakable things and I’m seeing more and more of this kind of things now and I know Satan has something to do with it.✝️🛐🌈, suffer the consequences of that too. Evil. Has. Many. Faces. But. One. Is to. Blame. Satan. God block this. Evil. From humans. And. Animals too. ✝️🛐
15+8+8= 31 years
That’s satan” That’s what he does he prays and destroys the week. The ones who don’t pray who don’t have God in their lives. We all have demons. Some of us are stronger in Christ than others.💯( she was a victim and you can be too if you don’t have God on your side remember that.
That’s how satan works” manipulate, false, and lies, we still live in those Bible days that’s why it’s important to stay in prayer and get God on your side. She was a victim of Satan💯
Had a man been standing there the life sentence without parole would have been easily handed down.
"I wasn't fit to be a mother" yet you kept having babies. Proclaiming it in public doesn't let you off the hook.
For the welfare money, maybe?
Welfare system = More babies , more money.
Right Right Right
He father should her time for getting her pregnant
@@meyou127 not nearly enough to live off!
She's 31, so she'll have a shot at parole at 62+. If the Parole Board has any sense, they'll deny her every time.
Well said
Six feet next parole hearing.
Six feet next parole hearing.
Having children is a choice. Why have children you don't want or can't love and care for?
At least it will keep her from having more children
He was with the foster family since birth? She lost 3 older children before? Curtis was failed by the foster care system. Shameful
He was failed by a POS mother
Apparently she got him back from the foster care and killed him
That’s who should hold some of the responsibility. The system that knows better than to allow this. They get a pass all the time. Sad.
I don't know how to be a mother, then don't have children! What an animal.
She manipulated the foster family
Hope that disgusting Judge who sent him back to this monster despite all the voiced concerns rots in hell. I hope she never, ever forgets what she did.
I agree
She doesn't deserve to get out, should stay in jail for life
THIS CHILD WAS INNOCENT
All children are innocent
REALLY?
@@gayprepperz6862 yes really moron
Stupid comment
@@Estoverax Right 👍
Curtis Lee James Witcher had been with his foster parents since he was 6 months old and thriving. He had been with them for 2.5 yrs of his 3 yr life.
Timmeka Eggleton killed Curtis just four months after Judge Allison Floyd removed him from his foster parents, who cared for him since he was seven days old and were attempting to adopt him. She abused the system by accusing the foster parents of child abuse.
Floyd determined that Eggleton was fit to retain custody following time spent in an inpatient mental health facility, according to Fox 8. In March of 2023, Judge Allison Floyd terminated supervision and gave Curtis back to his biological mother permanently, even though an attorney hired to represent the child expressed concerns. Four months later, the child was killed.
When speaking to FOX 8, Curtis’ foster parents (who were not identified) shared that they had taken care of the boy since he was seven days old and wanted to adopt him prior to him being given back to the mother.
“Our son should be alive today,” the foster mother told Fox 8. “He brought so much joy.”
Eggleton was just using these children to make money on the welfare system. She was an unfit mother. She should never had any children under her care. So heartbreaking for Curtis and his loving foster parents. Rest in peace, little Curtis.
She Most Definitely Is Unfit She Never Had Her One Child When She Came Around I Know Her And Her Father And My Son Father Are Blood Cousins
That judge should be removed from the bench
So sad thanks for the story 🙏🏾🕊️💙
My heart just breaks for his foster parents. They were his real parents, raising him and loving him. There are too many stories like this. The system needs to start recognizing that reunification is not always in the best interest of the child/family.
The horrible fact is she had 6 children how was this possible? What kind of man would even want to be with her? She knew she wasn't good at parenting so why didn't she have her tubes tied also there's this thing called a condom!!!!! Evil disgusting demon. She's not a woman she's the devil who deserves life without parole!!!
Okay, so she says she was not fit to be a mother, yet she had six children. What prevented her from taking precautions, one of which would have been having her tubes tied. An innocent child's life was taken. Justice has been served!
She wanted those welfare checks 🤑
Those kids not asked to be here in this planet
@@oholm09 Choose intelligence bro!
She could have used a IUD .
Government assistance, tax credit
She deserves life without parole!
@dcysivemedia3700 she should never had children in the first place but why she did a harm on a 3-year-old
She will not make it that long.
She should've had a life sentence in prison
It's 35 years to life, so she could stay in for life. It's up to the parole board.
Skin and gender...
@@jeanettesmith765 I pray she doesn't get Free. It was horrible and disgusting what crime she committing to the child
Life are you kidding me she a black woman new that wasn't happening
@@CCisRight What’s the issue of her skin and genre? You don’t like it?
15 years for murder of a child... not fair
The devil in human form....she should never leave the prison
30 years for murdering a defenseless innocent child...Just does not add up.
She will somehow get pregnant in prison and get early release.
This woman 😒 knew she wasn't fit to be a mother the first child she had, so why would she have more? 😡 I have no remorse for her, and she sounds like she's trying to play a victim. #NoSympathy #BadParenting
Ikr... She is garbage she has no excuse...
Exactly!!! The children are a check, free health care, and other free government goodies 😢
I call her the N word
@@angeladavis2010Absolutely
She was honest though clearly she never had an example on how to be a mother .
She should NEVER be able to see her other children ever again.
Please stop having kids when you know from the get go you ain't fit to take care of them.
Typical woman spreading her legs and to find so called happiness. It’s disgusting and appalling. Poor boy
Amen!
Dont't forget to please stop having children with men that have no idea what being a man is! That's the real problem.
Your the same type of person who gets mad when people say they don’t want kids
But what happens when you realize every kid results in a bigger welfare check?
She should never get out for what she did to her own son
Black women hate their sons and daughters.
The sweet things this judge said about this precious little boy has me in tears
amazing words by the judge. he has to go by law in sentencing, to stop appeals etc but he wanted her to go away for life without parole
… the circle of neglect .., Wise judge ❤
So was birth control not an option if you knew you were an unfit parent?
PERIOD
Wouldn't look at a fat woman
There are many who should never have babies!
How about at the birth of the second , third, or fourth child you didn’t request to have your tubes tied .
@@GrandmaVerneStoriesright like this is sick!!!
This judge really researched and read everything involved in this case. Wish he had been harsher in sentencing but he definitely understood what really happened to Curtis at the hands of his bio mom who is an absolute abomination
That child was born to put her away. He saved his siblings from this monster. God Bless his tiny soul. I hope his next life is full of peace and love. 💗
Yes, three year old children are with Jesus now and forever
@@amberchase7959no, they are not. Read yiur Bible. That baby lost his life for nothing.
What kind of sick god are you talking about. Your comment is sickening.
So, it took her six kids before she learned she didn't know how to be a mother. But she did know that every kid resulted in a bigger welfare check.
EXACTLY 😮
and they keep blaming white people
@@michaelfranzgarcia7769 They keep blaming black men! If you have learned anything by now, it's that the bw hates a man in the house, prefers a child support payment and welfare check and is unbearable to be around.
I don't feel like this is a black and white thing and who's blaming white people for her crime and illness? By the way, who are you calling "they"?
The welfare checks are not that much
She should have been given life without parole
Poor, sweet little boy had a wonderful life until she took him from that home, only to kill him. Could not stand to have the boy happy and thriving. Putting his dead body next to her newborn in a stroller is sick and twisted. She's be slapping cards and laughing in no time. Guaranteed.
Everything you wrote is 💯
She’s soulless
Sad for that young man
@@Nothemomma904yes she is
I totally agree with you plus I know her she had issues but I hadn’t seen her since 2014 tho
She said she is not fit to be a mother but had (SIX) children?The six baby daddy’s should be locked up as well.
Praying for all affected. Rest in peace! Curtis. You deserved better.
Omg. How disgusting!!! He was in a good foster home!!! LIFE....PERIOD.🤬
His foster parents were amazing and God sent ! This is so sad she deserves life! And more!!! This precious little boy should have been able to stay with his foster parents! This lady was a monster!!!!
You're right and she got 35 years to Life.
To be fair they were his parents.
This woman is a MONSTER!!!! I hope she rot in jail!!!!!! PURE EVIL AND SHE WILL GET HER JUSTICE IN PRISON!!!!!!! SMH WHY LET HER OUT THE SYSTEM FAILED THE CHILD ONCE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!
The inmates in prison will make her life a living hell for what she did.
If it were a male prison, yes. Not sure how it works with females in prison.
Nah unaliving innocent children is the norm among a certain gender, they’ll have compassion for her, cuz a lot of them trauma bond over these horrific things they do because they have all sorts of excuses for this type of demonic BS.
@@AllYouHaveToDoIsBeHonestThe same way, she'll being PC.
@@AllYouHaveToDoIsBeHonestRead the case of ShondaVan Ark.
@@kellyrodgers4939they did something to her in prison?
Just imagine the fear and pain this poor baby went through with this monster
What is up with all these mothers murdering their kids ?? She knew she wasn`t fit to be a parent to why keep having kids ?
When we live in a society that fights for the right of women to murder babies through abortion, then we have a society of child hate.
Money.
@@AllYouHaveToDoIsBeHonestThese type people are the new "middle class". Their earnings are far better than those honest hard workers on minimum wage jobs.Find it pathetic that trickiness is more beneficial ! Everything is free including birth control so babies are either used as as a means of employment or a "man trap". Obviously trapping men doesn't work and unwanted children are paying the price!
And because they like ride it raw and not wrap it smh
Why is this woman not serving life without parole?
She be blk n oppressed
Exactly
Your tears mean nothing lady
it was only one slow leak from her right eye! it didn't even make it all the way down! she was sorry for her sentence, only! heartless waste of skin!
Right what about that lil angel 👼🏾 that was looking you in the face of someone whom supposed to love me is hurting me he's gone 💔 not ever coming back she needs to rott in jail
What tears?? Bad acting!!
She doesn’t seem to take accountability for her crimes. She is playing the victim card and not accountability for her own crimes. She is evil no matter what she says. She knew what she did.
Hi she is very ignorant and selfish.
I was thinking at least 40 years to life for that heffa.
Life is considered 25 years!
@@sungazer603 even in america? its generally 25 years here which needs changing! but that creature would survive more than 20years shes going to be, sorry, its going to be attacked all the time
That's what she got ,her sentences run consecutive
@sungazer603 depends on the state.
@daphnekenon3096 - She got 35 years to Life so that is close.
30 years what a joke. That poor child never had a chance to experience life. I can't believe it.
Oh God oh God. Heal our country.
If you didn’t know how to be a mother, you shouldn’t became a mother multiple times
He loved his foster family! He was a happy little boy living there!
That baby lives a nightmare with his ao called mother! She's a monster!
35 year's to life? Uh no. It should've been life in prison with no parole. I just hope the parole board denies her chances of parole. After what she did to that innocent soul, she'll always be a danger & a menace to society.
Yeah, she should never be released especially to have anymore children. These sort if people blame everyone else including the innocent chlid. They never ever take responsibility.
Certain people need to be forced to take birth control.
Sterilized
Sterilized!!!😮
BTL she knew she was an unfit mom she took him cuz of the $$$ sad he gone to soon🤔🥲🥹
Yes, psychopaths.
@@RebeccaSurber-vw5wi
Hitler had the same idea
Glad the judge pulled her up about her manipulation, she's not getting sympathy from most people watching this either. What a disgrace, baby Curtis deserved better than her. ❤
If anyone deserves a needle in the arm...but why hold people accountable? 30 years for a crime like that against a child is beyond weak.
Damn I wish we had Judges with some courage.
35 years to Life so no release date. She could do 40, 45 or 50 years before the Parole Board releases her so the Judge did hold her accountable.
No excuse. This is sickening.
Aint no EXCUSE in the world!
Finally a Judge who believes in consecutive sentences instead of concurrent!! I truly applaud this judge!👏👏👏
When I became a single young parent , I didn’t know much. Oh but MY HEART 🤎 wouldn’t let me give up. My mother was a Praying and loving woman, which softened my heart for children and the elderly.
What is wrong with your system? You gave an ill equipped mother her child back. Put the person who gave him back to her in jail as well. All are even accountable in this situation. America 👎🏻
America? Is the entire continent to blame? Stop criticising America. There are many places you can criticise, if you dare.
Don’t 😢 now, she didn’t have to kill that baby.
She should have gotten life in prison! No excuses!
I'm appalled she would ever have a chance to get out for killing and torturing her child! This judge is not helping society.
Poor baby should never had to go back to her I hope he is at peace ✨💖✨
Not enough time. She's not crying because she killed an innocent child and that the child will never see his family again, she's crying bc she's gonna spend pretty much the rest of her life in jail, hopefully!
What a monster 👿
Very sad for all the children.
This lady should never leave prison and should never be around any children again.
Poor innocent little boy.
She's a monster, the lawyer looks guilty as sin too.
He told her what to say. It’s disgusting.
He looks totally soulless from years of been a vermon in his occupation.
MANY TEARS FOR THIS YOUNG CHILD!! MY GOD COMFORT THIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🧡
She wanted him to
Back to get extra welfare benefits
She did not want to see him happy! She wanted him to have a miserable life like hers. The courts have blood on their hands for ever giving him back to her!
She didn’t want the other family to adopt him, I suppose because she felt jealous andefeated! It wasn’t about her, but for her son. She only could think of herself. Such a cruel act!
Exactly. If we , the public at large, know that a child is nothing more than a check to some people. People like the woman who murdered Curtis.
EXACTLY 💯
Bingo
Terrible and insulting.she cannot be rehabilitated
Children in foster homes mean no welfare checks or food stamps. So she lied to get him back for the benefits. Spend the rest of your miserable life behind bars.
The suffering that little Curtis
had to endure at the hands of this monster is heartbreaking.
"He enjoyed searching for little bunnies" - I just can't
Bless his little soul
She should never have been allowed to have 6 children. You have to jump through hoops to adopt a dog but anyone can have a child for some reason. She only did it to get money. What a vile monster she is. She makes my blood boil. Innocent poor little baby boy.
She said she didn’t know how to care for her children.. but.. she damn sho knew how to open her legs and keep making babies!
Agree with you 100% .
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!!!
*HELLO*
She didn't want babies but she wanted to have sex: which is how you have babies.
That’s the way it always is! People like her see children as property, that’s why she wanted Curtis back - she felt he was her property and couldn’t stand anybody else having him where he was happy.
Let’s see how many people she beats in prison.
This is the saddest thing. That poor child. It's time we stop treating children as property.
Why keep having children if you know you’re not fit to be a mother?
Adopting out has always been an option.
The mother who made the tragic and heart-wrenching decision to end a child's life will face the profound consequences of her actions. She has been sentenced to spend the rest of her natural life in prison without the possibility of parole. This judgment reflects the gravity of her actions and ensures that she will have to endure the weight of her choices every day, for the remainder of her life.
The experience I had doing foster care caused me same issues of false allegations so I resigned from being a foster parent. Too much for me.
Why did you keep getting pregnant?
That’s a good question!
GOVERNMENT FREE MONEY 💰 🤑 WHY ELSE? 😮
To get more of YOUR tax money.
Welfare
JUSTICE for that three year old who died IS ABSOLUTELY STALKING HER. She is a murderer. The cycle of abuse and stereotypes are reinforced. WHY didn’t she use protection to prevent pregnancy. Come on she avoided the health and support services that were available to her. Please take away her children. GOD is NOT MOCKED, whatever a man sows that SHALL HE REAP. I feel sad 😢 for the child she killed, not her. 💔💔💔
So many have been horribly abused as children. Most are kind because they know how it feels. NO EXCUSE!!
Exactly. I’m a child of torture and neglect, as is my mother, but neither one of us abused our kids. Mom broke the cycle of abuse, and I’m also breaking the cycle.
@@kitsunefaye1661Praise God at the hands of my biological I was burned , in five foster homes I was abused .I am a children's advocate for my grandchildren and anyone else's children.
Still maintaining her victim status…”I don’t know how to be a mother”. But she knew how to use it telephone, but failed to ask for someone to remove the child when she became violent.
Judge Allison bears responsibility in the death of this child. She removed the little boy from a happy safe home and put him in the custody and possession of a murderous abusive parent. I can’t imagine the terror little Curtis went through at her hands.
Wtf is wrong with a system that allows this.
She should have gotten life with no parole, & the judge that took that baby from the only family he'd ever known, she be removed from the bench & disbarred for life.
Why are the most fertile people demented?!
doesn’t know how to be a mom but keeps having kids
Truly, if she wanted her kids back, it’s for a check.
Life in prison at a minimum should be an automatic punishment for first-degree murder of a child.
The agency should be at fault too.
I had my foster baby for about 4 months she was thriving and they took her away from me to place her with family only for her aunt to leave her at her other aunts doorstep!
You can’t convince me that parenting classes can teach someone how to be a parent - a good one at that. It’s either inside of you or it’s not. It breaks my heart to hear these stories where children are ripped from loving, clean, and safe foster homes and returned to conditions that aren’t loving, clean, or safe - conditions that social workers and judges would never place their own kids in …. But it’s good enough for the child in the system because that’s what they were born into. A person who has had children removed permanently from their home should never have another child in their home. System keeps failing. RIP sweet boy 💙
She's evil person to do that to her own son.... And she should have gotten life in prison without parole
Don’t have kids when you know you are unfit. Smh hope she isn’t still able to get pregnant when she gets parole smh
She is only 31 years old ? I thought she was a grandmother or just an older person. So she will probably get out when she is 66. Hope she is in for life.
EXCUSE! EXCUSE! EXCUSE
EVIL 😈
OMG, and he was such a precious little guy! i am so sorry. this judge was right on! such a shame!
Never justice for children sickened! Should have got life with NO parole!
Death penalty. No remorse. Hell for you.
saying sorry is more sincere than saying you apologize
Even her lawyer doesn’t believe her look at his face 😂😂😂
