Lady J Smooth EXACTLY! I believe she is when she needs to be. She’s an empty shell of a human. No feelings no empathy no nothing to be a mother. Also, that dufus of a boyfriend is gonna be a girlfriend soon behind bars and I don’t think he’s gonna mind 🙄
@Sam valeriesolanas You act like people show their true colors when you first get with them. Sometimes you fall In love with a psychopath and a narcissist and it's hard to tell at first because you're blinded with puppy love Or just to young and inexperienced. That's just my opinion tho. No hate.
Im shocked at how well dressed he is. If it was me, and I love fashion, I would probably not be capable of putting together a look. Do we know about him? Did he ask for custody? Of course he probably never imagined this.
@valerie solanas He probably never knew what she was really like. I suppose if he knew he would have gained full custody. I don't think she would have insisted on seeing the kid. I think given the chance she would have been happy to ditch her daughter. I don't mind saying Im suspicious of him as well. I find it hard to believe he never knew there was anything wrong.
@@martineshamzin7535 You're wholly ignorant of what you're talking about. He's well dressed likely because his lawyer advised him to dress well to make himself appear better before the court. A father cannot just "Gain full custody". That requires a giant legal battle that it sounds like he was going through before his daughter was taken from him. You don't know what the woman would have wanted. Perhaps she kept the kid because the kid was a tool to hurt the father with. Perhaps she perceived the kid as her property. You're throwing about nonsense and ill-founded accusations just because you want to appear smarter than everyone else.
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't think many people even consider what prosecutors in these cases go through. During the medical examiner's testimony, I noticed how difficult it was for the judge to see the autopsy photos again. He was definitely fighting back tears, and the medical examiner himself was struggling a bit.
I’ve seen her a few times as well. Yes she must be a strong woman. I hope she is blessed with peace knowing she’s in the right side. At least in the videos I’ve seen prosecuting against child abusers and killers.
@@hollienelson6738 to me these are the hardest cases because there's just no reason for such brutality to a child, ever! And to have to view them, I know they never forget any of the children they fought for.
What enrages me the most about cases like this besides, the death of an innocent child, is that these horrible mothers would rather kill their children or go to prison than give the baby to their loving fathers, grandmothers, or others who wanted custody of the victim.
Yes a lot off ethers don’t care they r missing for a reason but she did what ever to keep him away . Then a lot dudes have baby mamas like her and don’t care or know it
Yes you are right! I keep saying that myself. Here i could never have a child but then there is ppl that have been giving the chance to have a precious gift ... a child. Give the child to me or someone else who would love it.
Should be left alone in a room full of prisoners with no one watching every March 11th. Instead they get a day of solitude as a punishment? That little girl didn't get any days of solitude no they ought to stick them covered in honey and ant mound or toss a bucket of acid in their face every March 11th. I literally cannot stand when people say getting death row or being in the solitary confinement is a punishment no it isn't that's safety that's peaceful they don't deserve peace. Anyone who hurts a child or animals doesn't deserve a minute of peace
I think life In solitary confinement is more reasonable because it take a toll on the mind and drive one insane and then they might understand what they did.
The prosecutor’s speech was dead on! It was filled with so much passion for Aniya and disgust for her “mother” and her boyfriend. I applaud you for standing up for Aniya!
Yeah, but that means absolutely nothing now. He was not there for his daughter, he could have taken her out of that situation, he knew for months what was going on. He saw black eyes and bruises on a 3 and 4 year old girl! He gave a decent speech, and even mentioned that he is a rapper??! WTF? He was the FATHER so he’s a worse coward than the other guy was. He should have put his “rap career “ on hold and done whatever it took to get his daughter away from her birther because she doesn’t deserve the title of mother. All of these people who saw what was going on have blood on their hands! Everyone who knew her failed this precious baby. Finally she’s safe from the monsters in her life. RIP sweet baby. 😢🕊️👼
That female prosecutor is a strong presence. She did great defending Aniya’s right to life. Justice was served (as much as justice can be served when a child was murdered).
LONG , PROTRACTED DEATH......WHERE WAS HER FATHER? wasn't he visiting her?.....over the time it took her to die, WHERE WAS HE?.....HE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT............WHERE WAS HE?........
This brutality was going on for months. Weighted 26 lbs..where were you Dad when she was broken starving and laying in urine and fecal filled bed. Disgraceful that you didn't showed the care your daughter so needed. Shame..words are easy and blame to place on others.. This child would not even be able to walk and talk normally after the brain injury that was perhaps weeks old..
I watched this video when it was first posted. Watching it again today,... tears. His statement should have been entered into the case files for future parole hearings of the mother's boyfriend. Twenty years from now, they need to hear his voice, thirty years from now and forty years from now.
@@joycecoletta7699 he was there he tried getting custody of her but he couldn't get it the courts kept giving it to her mother. he tried for a yr or 2 but he couldn't get custody of her at all bc of the babies mother wouldn't let him. again he TRIED to get full custody of his baby.
I can't even imagine, I have a 20 month old baby girl and I feed her food and snacks and guess what, when she wants some of mommies food too, she will get that as well.....how can you deny a child this very basic human right???! To eat when hungry!!! I can't wrap my mind around this!
@@angelchrista930you can’t wrap it because you’re not a horrible piece of shyt like sierra was/is….we will never understand situations like this because we ourselves aren’t those types of people, you see?….we will NEVER understand this….its not meant for us to understand!
I know this comment is old but oh well. I choose to wait hours before I eat in the morning but my animals, not even children, are fed basically first thing. I couldn’t imagine letting my cat or dog go without food. Mothers being able to starve their children and abuse them completely baffles me.
I cannot understand how a mother can sit there, and show no emotion whatsoever, let alone live with the fact that she and her boyfriend murdered her. Just like her father said, they are true monsters!!! Many prayers for the father and his family. So Heartbreaking 💔😢😢😢
@bethanyheil3904 - sometimes I feel sorry for criminals that get life. Especially someone young. Even though they deserve it I just think, man, you really messed up and now you will live in a cage and it does affect me (sometimes). But with this monster, she deserves every minute behind bars. Her sentence is actually too good for her. She will be treated better than the treatment she gave to her daughter. I can’t imagine the horror, pain, sickness and fright Aniya went thru.
There is a case in Indianapolis Indiana right now. The little girl was 5 years old and was starved to death by her mother. The mother stated "I knew what I was doing but didn't care"! I had so much anger, but worst of all 😭!
Could it be possible she received child support payments and if she let her father have her the money would stop. Same goes for food stamps and any other public assistance.
Aniya's father gave this sweet baby a eulogy right there in the courtroom. He spoke beautifully and with so much strength. God bless him and his family. Sleep In Paradise sweet babygirl.
It's prolly a good thing the dad and boyfriend didn't get alone together. I think the resulting homicide of the boyfriend would have been justified. However, it wouldn't have made him feel better. I hope dad's passion for change continues to burn bright for his baby girl.
Why you think that was? Hmmm maybe the mom berated him on the daily, maybe they fought day in and day out, maybe she found someone else and kicked him out! So many “maybes”. One “maybe” is you R a dic. “Maybe” you are assuming this father being black left his child. So unless you are a direct relative to this man and his fam, maybe shut the fuq up and pray you don’t loose a child in this manner...😏🤨
@@Prouderlib ABSOLUTELY..... I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS CASE, BUT THAT FATHER LOVED THAT CHILD AND DID EVERYTHING HE COULD. HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF EXPRESSING HIS THOUGHTS. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HIM AND THE LOSS OF HIS DAUGHTER
@@miketheyunggod2534 SHE'S A KILLER!!!!! OF HER OWN CHILD!!!! He may not have saw a murderer in her but he saw and experienced enough to end it with her. AND he was actively seeking custody of his daughter and reporting neglect!!! Why would he stay with such filth!!
i personaly am wondering why wasnt he there for his daughter... she slowly starved to death.. why wasnt he feeding her.... did he even fight to get her ...
I just don’t understand how CPS couldn’t do more with visible bruises on the child. She also stated her mom did it! Like how was she not at least removed for awhile for a thorough investigation?! Sickening
Its because CPS is about money. They would rather take healthy children from loving homes and sell them to fosters and such than have to deal with the "damaged goods," like Aniya was in their eyes. It's sickening and it pisses me off every time I see one of those assholes. I'm a step-dad to a wonderful son. He's not mine biologically but I love him like my own son, regardless. And CPS has tried 5 TIMES to take my son, despite the fact that EVERY CLAIM they have made has been proven false. Every. Single. One. My girlfriend, the love of my life, has had three panic attacks because these people are fucking relentless. It was because of the courts that they finally had to drop the case on us and pay us back in damages. If they had used those resources on helping children like Aniya and not trying to kidnap my son, maybe more children like Aniya would be alive today. CPS must be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up.
@@CainEverest - Yes! I'm so sorry about your son, too. There was a Georgia congresswoman (or something like that) who was murdered right before she was going to give a speech about child trafficking with cps and all.
@@annwithaplan9766 im remembering her, RIP, down south,but it was never by police as a link to cps, but i remember her, last name start with letter "s."
She sat through the autopsy evidence and never showed any emotion. I was coming apart at the seams and I didn't even know this child. How could you see those pictures and hear that testimony about your own child and just be completely unmoved?
I'm sure he just wanted to jump on that guy and beat the living crap out of him, and for that so call mother of the little girl, will get hers when she meets her maker, that's for sure.
My heart sunk into my stomach when the prosecutor laid out the timeline for abuse and death of Aniya. She was failed on so many levels. More people need to speak up when they suspect child abuse cases, and provide more employees to work DFCS
Jus- Sayin he had been trying several times to get custody of his baby girl and the court was in favor of this monster of a “mother.” I love him for loving his daughter and trying the best he could. The court system is screwed up. It failed Aniya and her father. He tried very hard to get her back. He’s not to blame.
@Jus- Sayin at the end of the day it doesn't matter where he was. He didn't kill his own, daughter so if you are going to get mad 😠 be mad at the mother Real Talk 💬???
Jus- Sayin umm in most states unmarried women have all the rights to the kid especially when paternity isn’t established so who’s to say she didn’t block him from seeing the child? She could 100% do that in a lot of states so stfu
@@santeriacharles3736 you have no idea what you are talking about. Once CPS is involved the noncustodial parent can easily get custody, regardless of the state they live in. He does carry some blame for not being there to see the condition of that poor baby. If he had money for all that flash, he had money to hire an attorney, he didn't, because he really didn't care what happened to her, he didn't even pay child support. He should be sterilized. Try looking up the court case and read the transcript, not just a TH-cam clip.
Excellent speech but he omitted the role of juvenile court and Judge bias against FATHER'S. Every father who complains about child abuse of the mother is denied Custody. This has to end. Mr. GARRET ask for Custody several time and was denied, therefore the judge who denied him just as guilty of Murder aiding and abetting or complicit in the child's Murder.
Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. He has an attorney that’s going after those agencies. Let they ass be just as surprised and devastated as he was when he found his daughter was taken from this world. I’m sure his been advised by his attorney on what to say.
@@reginahumphres9293 people here blaming him have no idea what he went through to try and gain total custody of the child as well. He exhausted every legal avenue possible then tried to just physically remove the young child himself. She filed a restraining order on him. That's how dedicated this man was.
That was a show people. If he was in her life on a regular basis, he would’ve seen the signs of an abused child. He should’ve done something earlier and that precious baby girl would still be here. Don’t let him fool you.
@@lynnl5878 should have watched all the videos. He was going for full custody, she got a restraining order, so he couldn't contact her. She chose to keep him away from the daughter. His court date hadn't come up yet.
Yes & they should be convicted for aiding & a bedding the death of a child. How horrible that this baby girl had no one but the father & aunt to defend & fight for her. I’m heartbroken 💔
I couldn’t be an attorney, no way. The way my patience and emotions are set up, there’s no telling what I’d say or do in that courtroom. I’d be held in contempt every time. REST WELL, baby girl. No more pain.
He would never have had Aniya, and I'm sure that he would rather have had her and known her, to love her even though it was for such a short time. That is what he needs to hold on to. She will always be with him in his heart and soul. 💔
The ppl employed at the child protection services should have been given jail time as well! The only one in this case that seemed to be paying any attention to the child's well being (and it was documented but overlooked sadly) was the father! How do any of these ppl (the mother, the boyfriend, or anyone at cps) sleep at night knowing an innocent defenseless child suffered in silence for months & ultimately lost it's life due to their actions...or inactions! Smdh
We had a case here in wichita where father tried for custody.found deceased as a lovely little boy. If i was worker I'd demand to see healthy child regularly
The unspeakable pain as this father expressed his love for his daughter. He spoke eloquently and is the epitome of what a true father should be. All the mother had to do was let him have his child. The mother was true monster.
@@ginacassares6801 Watch the entire trial. Social services did NOTHING and you must go through them first. The system for protecting children is BROKEN!
Why didn't this wicked so-called mother /monster give her beautiful child to her father!! And why didn't the system help the child?!!! They all failed her!!😢🤦🏽♀️ RIP SWEET ANGEL 🙏🏽❤️🥀🕊
Because it was her little pay check !!! What the hell do you think these woman have 4-5-6 or more kids? There baby factory's. Plain and simple. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Her boyfriend even seems to have some emotion. She is cold, no emotion, just blank, sitting there like they are not even talking about her. I do not understand though. Where is the whole family when a child is being starved and abused. Where are aunts, cousins, uncles etc. What is wrong with this society? What is going on?
Memory Malunga they cant do anything they arent the parents, as u see the father couldnt even get her the way he wanted to,when u have a spiteful monster as a mother she will keep the child as control over the father, she knew enough to keep the abuse hidden evil winch i hope they beat her ass everyday n jail her n that nigga she with
There mother raised them like this! It’s a dam cycle of abuse. It’s sad and disgusting!!!i wish people would stop beating children as a form of punishment.
Skip to 7:21 and pause. She got Aniya’s name tatted on her forearm 🤦🏾♂️ how could you do that to your own child and have her name tattooed on you to remind you of what you did ? She’s a monster
The only good thing about it is, she will have to see her name everyday and so will everyone else in prison!!! I'm sure there will be a few women in there that wont like that she starved and beat her little girl.
@Te I didn't notice that. Then I look after you mentioned that. I saw it. Do you remember the Freezer Mom? She has her kids name tattoo on her hand also. Then she killed 2 of her kids.
Please vote for them to change the how CPS etc is run and owned by private companies. This means they don’t want to eat into profits even though it’s supposed to be a public service. They don’t want to provide over time for people to investigate. They are understaffed and overworked. You cannot provide this service as a profit based private company. Vote for someone who will change it if you really want to stop this happening.
This is a business, child protective services is a very lucrative business! It's evil and DISGUSTING 😷😡😠 They will continue to fail children as long as they are making the big money they're making
My heart breaks for this wonderful daddy who had his baby girl ripped away from him! May he find peace and comfort while continuing on his mission to fight for Aniya and all the innocent children!
Cannot believe that monster might get parole one day. Both of them should’ve been given life with no chance at redemption or reprieve from the insurmountable suffering these monsters inflicted on this poor baby.
18:49 And even now he's still saying "WE didn't harm Aniya," like they're still getting out and getting married. I've seen teenage romances less delusional.
@@shannh6724 it true this farther tried his damn hardest to get that beautiful baby girl form them monster but the court once again ignore the dad plead smh
Such an amazing father, son, brother and friend. I pray for him and his beautiful little girl. If he ever starts a movement, I'd gladly follow. We need more men like him in our communities mentoring young men and women and sharing Ania's story. ♥
How do you see a CHILD HURT LIKE THAT & DO NOTHING???? We are truly living in the last days to the father I will be praying for you and your loved ones
Aniya wasn’t his kid. Not his kid, not his business, not his problem. Deonte should’ve gotten life without parole too. That poor beautiful baby girl. My son will be 4 November 10th, so this strikes a nerve. I can’t even listen to the father’s statement, otherwise I’ll get so angry.
Justice is served, the victim’s father gave a great speech. They both got life the male monster life with parole and the female monster gets life without parole. Sorry but I just cannot call them humans after what they had done to that poor little girl.
He didn’t need an option of parole and life having parole still a no because it’s a life sentence so he’ll always be denied due to the nature of the crime
The prosecutor really moves me! She brought it to the point. No neglectance, active murder! They killed this child on purpose, it did not mean anything to them. Never let them out!
My daughter Miss Melissa was 23 when she died of natural causes and it just about did me in! I can not Imagine what this man is going through. I am devastated by this mans pain. I am so sorry and God Bless You and Your family! You are the best advocate she could! GOS BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!
Exactly where was the Father ,why if he had concerns knowing she was suffering, didn't he go file for full custody, but.... Whatever, if child support was taking money out his check he would have been front in center at the court, it takes for death of his child for him to start fighting? Where was he when she was being abused?? Out hip hop entertaining??? He has to take responsibility too he is as responsible as the mother, so now u a father huh???
The mother filed a protective order against the father when he complained to authorities about Aniya's injuries. He was involved with his daughter up until then. He was in the process of fighting the protective order when she died. The morher is a master manipulator who used the system to her advantage. She claimed the father abused her. That is why he was not around and could not protect his child.
@@favoredblessed3535 If you would research the facts of this case, you would know that this baby's father was desperately trying to get custody of this child. The mother did everything in her power to keep him away while torturing that little angel to death
But if he had not met her, he'd have never gotten to know the love of that child, and while TRAGIC and AWFUL, I would venture to say he couldn't imagine his life without his beautiful daughter in it, while sadly it was only 4 years, but he loved that baby! Now, if given the chance to go back, would he choose to have never met the mother to spare that baby the suffering, I am certain he would have, but as a parent, I am unable to wish for anything that would've prevented the birth of my children, but I've never lost a child, neither. It would be interesting to hear the father's perspective on this.
If someone said "I loved Tiffany Martinez..." while seeing me take a beating of a lifetime. Slowly starving me etc. Day after day. Bih, why you didn't call the police, sneak me out or start Operation Save Tiff? You didn't love "me" enough.
I didn't follow this case.Did her father not have visitation with his daughter to not have seen what was happening to her? At 4 she would have been able to tell him what was going on.From January to March where was the father, the grandparents and of course the "wonderful" DCS? I just wonder how in 3 months no one saw this?
There’s always something especially heartbreaking and sad about seeing a parent who would have been amazing, not able to parent their child. This poor father. I hope he finds peace soon and gets to be a child to another child. He’d be an amazing one it seems.
@@cocosanchez7927 he didn't abandon her aniya mom and the courts wouldn't let him get custody of her he tried for 2 yrs to get custody of her and it was denied. the mother filed charges on him making it hard for him to see and get aniya so no she wasn't abandon. the courts failed her and so did CPS!!!!
❤️❤️❤️ Sweet baby. Bittersweet victory. Aniya should have been given to her daddy. Her death has broke the world’s heart because it NEVER should have happened 💔💔💔 PS - IT SHOULD BE EVERYONES DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT CHILDREN! IF YOU SEE ABUSE, REPORT IT!
While I was a clerk at the court, the best thing and most fulfilling thing I ever did was prepare the death warrant after the judge signed the order of execution. In this case, the victim was an elderly lady who, like Aniya, was helpless. She came home to find her house being robbed by 4 young people. They stole her car and put her in the trunk of it. They showed her off to several people none of which called the police. They'd take her out and beat her with a shovel. This retired teacher and church organist was covered with blankets after 3 or 4 days of torture and was thrown into an ice cold river with cinder blocks to weigh her down and she drowned. They didn't feed her and I don't think potty breaks were a high priority. Did I mention she was an insulin dependent diabetic? The worst of all was that only the oldest was eligible for the death penalty and life w/o parole wasn't an option in Texas at that time. You have to be at least 16 to get the death penalty. The girl turned state's evidence and got off with a lighter sentence. The 15 y/o was the scariest of the lot. I read some of his jail letters and he definitely had a blood lust. The youngest was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Depositions showed that he wasn't ok with what happened and wanted no part of it. He was 13 and was sent to juvie until he turns 18. Then he'll be released. It's the weakest in society, the children and seniors, that they hurt the most. I just can't fathom doing any of those things to people even the ones I strongly dislike. Our world is crazy in that people like these kids and monster mommy and beastly boyfriend are somehow here and able inflict their poisonous wrath on people. It makes me sad for our world.
Live in boyfriends should be grounds for CPS to remove the child from the home. Too many kids were molested, tortured, and murdered by "live in boyfriends"
plateshutoverlock ~vI had a live in boyfriend/fiancé. This man treated my son 100 times better than his biological father ever did. His b-father never abused him in any way, he was just hardly ever present in his life. He only wanted my sin around when it was time to impress a new girl or her parents. He rarely paid child support, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts...almost non-existent. My live in France made sure, along with me, that my son never went without what he needed and rarely went without what he wanted. My son had major MAJOR surgery at the age of 15. The hospital he was in, was four hours away from where his father lived...he never even sent a get well card. By that time, I was married and my husband drive us to the hospital, stayed for the entire 11 hour surgery, visited the next day and stayed...went home the next day. Called every day, several times a day, during the full two weeks that my son was in the hospital. He came the day before my son was set to go home, picked us up and drive us home the next day. He made sure that our home had everything necessary for our son to recuperate. 25 years later, I’m still married to that man. We watched our son get his first job at 16, graduate, get involved in a charity close to his heart...he’s held down a job since the age of 16 and he’s been with his company for over 20 years now. My husband has been by my side, encouraging him, supporting him, guiding him and helping to make him the wonderful, responsible adult he is today. Oh, he has NOTHING to do with his b-father and hadn’t for many years. His two half brothers also have nothing to do with this man. He’s been married two more times after me. My son is in contact with the woman who was his first step-mother, to this day. She treated him better than his father ever did. He never really got to know his second step-mother. Not all live in boyfriends or girlfriends for that matter, are bad people! Many are loving caring step-parents, better than b-parents. ✌️
Yes many are abused by not only live-in boyfriends but step-father’s as well. Married or live-in doesn’t save a child from horrible people. No one knows what happens behind closed doors. Child protective services is equally culpable!
@cockney gyal Is it children screaming due to pain? If you feel a child is being assaulted call the police. I’ve been in similar situation. However, I was retaliated against but it was a situation where the person’s life was in danger.
@@fafalina2000 Excuse me? Where in the hell did you come up with that? That's the problem with black people you always want to make it about race. This is why things will never change.
Jus- Sayin - the location of some commenter’s “biological father,” has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Read the link I provided above. He did what the law allowed. Who thinks a mom is going to kill their own child? He had everything going against him. Black, young, male, dad. Any other time, people would say the dad was simply a sperm donor. At least he tried. Give this father a break. I witnessed something similar at 19 - 20. I didn’t know better. I heard the parents were barely in their 20’s as well. If I had known better, I would have taken this child away from his mom, and reported her, and I was just the babysitter!! When he died, my mom asked if I thought she could have done it, and I couldn’t even allow myself to go there, because this boy was a part of my life for nearly two years. We never want to believe that a child should feel threatened by a parent - mom OR dad! This boy died at 35 months. He’d be 30 next February. For all we know, the father was working so mom could smoke weed and not have to work. You don’t know the circumstances, other than what has been made public, unless you are family, or close. There are too many possibilities to start pointing fingers. The courts have almost exclusively sided with mothers in cases like these. It’s time to step out of what we think we know is right, and see what is right. Remember to think before you speak. You do not know what a person’s experiences are, what they have gone thru, or what they are currently going thru. It’s taken me over 40 years to watch mine tongue before I say something hurtful. Good luck, stay safe & healthy. ✌️

As a mother of a 38 yr old son, a 35 yr old son and a 31 year old daughter with autism and never once have my kids had a bruise or a scratch! They were not over protected. They were protected and loved as every child should be! This hurts my heart! Such monsters they are! R.I.P baby girl. My heart goes out to her father.
I agree, I have (3) Girls ( exact same age as yours ) there's no way a child could suffer those kind of injuries by herself, they were inflicted by an adult, plus she was left in her bed completely wet, dying alone. My Husband was a police officer and was murdered, he will watch over This Sweet Baby.
@@joannemadden7449 I’m so sorry about your husband. My dad was a police officer as well, but he was not murdered. So tragic. God Bless you and your girls.
How can you sit before a judge with NO remorse of killing your child and having someone help you. May God have mercy on your soul on judgement day. For everyone will be judged accordingly
Even if he never laid a hand on Aniya or how they claimed he didn’t live there he witnessed the abuse. His punk ass could have stopped it at anytime. He is as much to blame as her mother.
If you can blame the mother’s parents, let’s just keep going and blame their parents, and their parents, etc. There are also wonderful people who came out of horrible homes. To some extent, no matter what you do people are going to grow up to be their own people.
This bloke is very passionate. And most definitely out of his baby’s mama’s league. How did he end up with that trash?!! 🤔 Clearly if his daughter was in his custody, she’d still be alive 😔 Extremely sad, praying for the fathers healing 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜
Yes but he have the right to see his daughter if he have see her he would have see how terrible she look and could have done something..now he is there but little bit too late now..
I don’t know about this case. I also don’t know what happened the mother in her earlier life that would cause her to kill her child. It seems to me this man is grandstanding. Words are cheap. Where was he when his 4 year old was alive?
No that's what he is auctioning for.. He wants fame.. This is not genuine! Where was he when the baby was being abused... He is not a great father.. It's game...
That guard behind the prosecutor looks like he was getting heated listening to that speech and about to yoke up those defendants himself right then and there!
And that made him an accessory to murder. That's the only reason he'll be eligible for parole. Perhaps didn't hurt the child, but didn't stop her torture.
Such a heart felt closing statement! Poor little angel suffered 2 strokes and no amounts of abuse, how can any human cause such cruel act on an innocent child of any age! And how any family or friends could turn a blind eye to such torture. Some humans don't deserve to be blessed with a child, when so many can't conceive a child. Rest in peace darling angel ❤
This sorry excuse for a mother is evil and she abused and destroyed that poor baby. She did it to hurt the father and she deserves life in prison without parole. The boyfriend is a fool. But, I think his defense lawyer has a point. He did not live with the mother, she abused her baby long before he came along, and I don't think he beat the baby. But he should have contacted the authorities and turned the mother in. Stop getting with these crazy women, who are abusing their children guys. If you see abuse, step up and raise hell! Protect these children. Report it, and cut all ties with these women. Or face the fate this man is facing. 27 years old, no criminal record. Now he is facing life in prison with violent offenders. His life is over. He is a fool...
This DA has one of the best speeches I have ever heard. I'm grateful for her passion for this baby.
I agree!! Her words were POWERFUL!!
She is one of the most competent DAs I have ever witnessed.
Me too. Her heart is I. The right place.
Am I wrong or was the man speaking for the boyfriend crying at the beginning????
She’s awesome 👏🏻
She 24 yrs old and will never be free again. Now that's JUSTICE.
Yup
Lady J Smooth 27 not 24
Lady J Smooth EXACTLY! I believe she is when she needs to be. She’s an empty shell of a human. No feelings no empathy no nothing to be a mother. Also, that dufus of a boyfriend is gonna be a girlfriend soon behind bars and I don’t think he’s gonna mind 🙄
@@cassiew1734 that's what they get n some, they're both scunbags
Yes ma’am!!
Poor baby. She was lucky to have a dad that fought for her. I hope he finds peace. He made me cry
@Sam valeriesolanas You act like people show their true colors when you first get with them. Sometimes you fall In love with a psychopath and a narcissist and it's hard to tell at first because you're blinded with puppy love Or just to young and inexperienced. That's just my opinion tho. No hate.
@Sam valeriesolanas You're a dumbass. I hope you're a kid because that's the only way it would be okay to have a take this stupid.
Im shocked at how well dressed he is. If it was me, and I love fashion, I would probably not be capable of putting together a look. Do we know about him? Did he ask for custody? Of course he probably never imagined this.
@valerie solanas He probably never knew what she was really like. I suppose if he knew he would have gained full custody. I don't think she would have insisted on seeing the kid. I think given the chance she would have been happy to ditch her daughter. I don't mind saying Im suspicious of him as well. I find it hard to believe he never knew there was anything wrong.
@@martineshamzin7535 You're wholly ignorant of what you're talking about. He's well dressed likely because his lawyer advised him to dress well to make himself appear better before the court. A father cannot just "Gain full custody". That requires a giant legal battle that it sounds like he was going through before his daughter was taken from him.
You don't know what the woman would have wanted. Perhaps she kept the kid because the kid was a tool to hurt the father with. Perhaps she perceived the kid as her property. You're throwing about nonsense and ill-founded accusations just because you want to appear smarter than everyone else.
I see this prosecutor in a lot of child abuse and murder cases. I pray for her mental health and emotional well-being. That's got to be tough
Must have a big heart and passion to be the voice for the unheard. Such a shame children have to suffer or die before her voice is heard
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't think many people even consider what prosecutors in these cases go through. During the medical examiner's testimony, I noticed how difficult it was for the judge to see the autopsy photos again. He was definitely fighting back tears, and the medical examiner himself was struggling a bit.
She was the prosecutor for the Michael Madison trial
I’ve seen her a few times as well. Yes she must be a strong woman. I hope she is blessed with peace knowing she’s in the right side. At least in the videos I’ve seen prosecuting against child abusers and killers.
@@hollienelson6738 to me these are the hardest cases because there's just no reason for such brutality to a child, ever! And to have to view them, I know they never forget any of the children they fought for.
What enrages me the most about cases like this besides, the death of an innocent child, is that these horrible mothers would rather kill their children or go to prison than give the baby to their loving fathers, grandmothers, or others who wanted custody of the victim.
Yes a lot off ethers don’t care they r missing for a reason but she did what ever to keep him away . Then a lot dudes have baby mamas like her and don’t care or know it
We see much too much of this
She wasn't going to give the child up. She'd have no entertainment if she did.
Yes you are right! I keep saying that myself. Here i could never have a child but then there is ppl that have been giving the chance to have a precious gift ... a child. Give the child to me or someone else who would love it.
@tinkerbell2675 I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to have your own. They would have been lucky to have you as a mom ❤️
When she said demand that they both sit in solitary every year on March 11.. gave me chills
One day in solitary isn't enough. That's true punishment let me tell you. Death is nothing compared to prolonged solitary.
May they never forget
Should be left alone in a room full of prisoners with no one watching every March 11th. Instead they get a day of solitude as a punishment? That little girl didn't get any days of solitude no they ought to stick them covered in honey and ant mound or toss a bucket of acid in their face every March 11th. I literally cannot stand when people say getting death row or being in the solitary confinement is a punishment no it isn't that's safety that's peaceful they don't deserve peace. Anyone who hurts a child or animals doesn't deserve a minute of peace
I cheered. Powerful stuff, love her.
I think life In solitary confinement is more reasonable because it take a toll on the mind and drive one insane and then they might understand what they did.
The prosecutor’s speech was dead on! It was filled with so much passion for Aniya and disgust for her “mother” and her boyfriend. I applaud you for standing up for Aniya!
The father was so eloquent and my heart goes out to him. His words are so heartfelt.
Yeah, but that means absolutely nothing now. He was not there for his daughter, he could have taken her out of that situation, he knew for months what was going on. He saw black eyes and bruises on a 3 and 4 year old girl! He gave a decent speech, and even mentioned that he is a rapper??! WTF? He was the FATHER so he’s a worse coward than the other guy was. He should have put his “rap career “ on hold and done whatever it took to get his daughter away from her birther because she doesn’t deserve the title of mother. All of these people who saw what was going on have blood on their hands! Everyone who knew her failed this precious baby. Finally she’s safe from the monsters in her life. RIP sweet baby. 😢🕊️👼

This brutality was going on for months. Weighted 26 lbs..where were you Dad when she was broken starving and laying in urine and fecal filled bed. Disgraceful that you didn't showed the care your daughter so needed. Shame..words are easy and blame to place on others.. This child would not even be able to walk and talk normally after the brain injury that was perhaps weeks old..
I watched this video when it was first posted. Watching it again today,... tears. His statement should have been entered into the case files for future parole hearings of the mother's boyfriend. Twenty years from now, they need to hear his voice, thirty years from now and forty years from now.

As adults, our stomachs have a real pain when we are hungry. Can you imagine how this baby suffered? RIP..Sweet baby.
And probably was beat every time she said she was hungry 😢
I can't even imagine, I have a 20 month old baby girl and I feed her food and snacks and guess what, when she wants some of mommies food too, she will get that as well.....how can you deny a child this very basic human right???! To eat when hungry!!! I can't wrap my mind around this!
@@angelchrista930you can’t wrap it because you’re not a horrible piece of shyt like sierra was/is….we will never understand situations like this because we ourselves aren’t those types of people, you see?….we will NEVER understand this….its not meant for us to understand!
I know this comment is old but oh well. I choose to wait hours before I eat in the morning but my animals, not even children, are fed basically first thing. I couldn’t imagine letting my cat or dog go without food. Mothers being able to starve their children and abuse them completely baffles me.
Poor baby
There needs more stringent oversight on mothers w kids on welfare
I cannot understand how a mother can sit there, and show no emotion whatsoever, let alone live with the fact that she and her boyfriend murdered her. Just like her father said, they are true monsters!!! Many prayers for the father and his family. So Heartbreaking 💔😢😢😢
I know right it's just unfathomable
A perfect example of having the ability to breed but not the capacity to be a mother…the boyfriend’s crime was doing NOTHING…criminal idiocy!
@bethanyheil3904 - sometimes I feel sorry for criminals that get life. Especially someone young. Even though they deserve it I just think, man, you really messed up and now you will live in a cage and it does affect me (sometimes). But with this monster, she deserves every minute behind bars. Her sentence is actually too good for her. She will be treated better than the treatment she gave to her daughter. I can’t imagine the horror, pain, sickness and fright Aniya went thru.
There is a case in Indianapolis Indiana right now. The little girl was 5 years old and was starved to death by her mother. The mother stated "I knew what I was doing but didn't care"! I had so much anger, but worst of all 😭!
No conscience whatsoever
Why she just didn't give her to her father if she couldn't care for her
Black Nubian some people like to have the kid to wave over the other parent and/or stay in the other parents life beyond the breakup
B/C that demon knew the Dad loved his child, and not her demonic ass 😒
Black Nubian she liked hurting the kid.
Could it be possible she received child support payments and if she let her father have her the money would stop. Same goes for food stamps and any other public assistance.
it's called GREED, IMO.

He didn’t love her enough to be a family with the mother.
Why you think that was? Hmmm maybe the mom berated him on the daily, maybe they fought day in and day out, maybe she found someone else and kicked him out! So many “maybes”.

i personaly am wondering why wasnt he there for his daughter... she slowly starved to death.. why wasnt he feeding her.... did he even fight to get her ...
Boyfriend repeated he loved Aniya yet she lay on her bed for weeks, tortured, beaten and starved to death. BS!
😢
That was a lie, since he never met the child when she was born.
I just don’t understand how CPS couldn’t do more with visible bruises on the child. She also stated her mom did it! Like how was she not at least removed for awhile for a thorough investigation?! Sickening
Its because CPS is about money. They would rather take healthy children from loving homes and sell them to fosters and such than have to deal with the "damaged goods," like Aniya was in their eyes. It's sickening and it pisses me off every time I see one of those assholes.
I'm a step-dad to a wonderful son. He's not mine biologically but I love him like my own son, regardless. And CPS has tried 5 TIMES to take my son, despite the fact that EVERY CLAIM they have made has been proven false. Every. Single. One.
My girlfriend, the love of my life, has had three panic attacks because these people are fucking relentless. It was because of the courts that they finally had to drop the case on us and pay us back in damages.
If they had used those resources on helping children like Aniya and not trying to kidnap my son, maybe more children like Aniya would be alive today.
CPS must be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up.
Because these people feel a child should always be with the nom.

Her attorney was in close he rubbing his chin against her cheek as he was talking oh gawd barf
I cried for baby girl
Not her own mom
I’m sick
She sat through the autopsy evidence and never showed any emotion. I was coming apart at the seams and I didn't even know this child. How could you see those pictures and hear that testimony about your own child and just be completely unmoved?
I'm sure he just wanted to jump on that guy and beat the living crap out of him, and for that so call mother of the little girl, will get hers when she meets her maker, that's for sure.
My heart sunk into my stomach when the prosecutor laid out the timeline for abuse and death of Aniya. She was failed on so many levels. More people need to speak up when they suspect child abuse cases, and provide more employees to work DFCS
I love this guy, what a great example of a loving father,! RIP Aniya
So strong in his statement....
I would not have been so in control! Bless him and RIP TO HIS LIL ANGEL....
Jus- Sayin he had been trying several times to get custody of his baby girl and the court was in favor of this monster of a “mother.” I love him for loving his daughter and trying the best he could. The court system is screwed up. It failed Aniya and her father. He tried very hard to get her back. He’s not to blame.
@Jus- Sayin at the end of the day it doesn't matter where he was. He didn't kill his own, daughter so if you are going to get mad 😠 be mad at the mother Real Talk 💬???
Jus- Sayin umm in most states unmarried women have all the rights to the kid especially when paternity isn’t established so who’s to say she didn’t block him from seeing the child? She could 100% do that in a lot of states so stfu
@@santeriacharles3736 you have no idea what you are talking about. Once CPS is involved the noncustodial parent can easily get custody, regardless of the state they live in. He does carry some blame for not being there to see the condition of that poor baby. If he had money for all that flash, he had money to hire an attorney, he didn't, because he really didn't care what happened to her, he didn't even pay child support. He should be sterilized. Try looking up the court case and read the transcript, not just a TH-cam clip.
Excellent speech but he omitted the role of juvenile court and Judge bias against FATHER'S. Every father who complains about child abuse of the mother is denied Custody. This has to end. Mr. GARRET ask for Custody several time and was denied, therefore the judge who denied him just as guilty of Murder aiding and abetting or complicit in the child's Murder.
Christopher Barksdale that’s right
Dont go overboard. Most of the time but not all the time
The father's are completely unfit
Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. He has an attorney that’s going after those agencies. Let they ass be just as surprised and devastated as he was when he found his daughter was taken from this world. I’m sure his been advised by his attorney on what to say.

Were you not listening...they isolated the child from the public and family to conceal the abuse.
Messed up..wow
Memory Malunga they cant do anything they arent the parents, as u see the father couldnt even get her the way he wanted to,when u have a spiteful monster as a mother she will keep the child as control over the father, she knew enough to keep the abuse hidden evil winch i hope they beat her ass everyday n jail her n that nigga she with

Connie McFeely: where was Aniay's father when she was being abused though?
Exactly where was the Father ,why if he had concerns knowing she was suffering, didn't he go file for full custody, but.... Whatever, if child support was taking money out his check he would have been front in center at the court, it takes for death of his child for him to start fighting? Where was he when she was being abused?? Out hip hop entertaining??? He has to take responsibility too he is as responsible as the mother, so now u a father huh???
Kimberly Briggs: Exactly!!
The mother filed a protective order against the father when he complained to authorities about Aniya's injuries. He was involved with his daughter up until then. He was in the process of fighting the protective order when she died. The morher is a master manipulator who used the system to her advantage. She claimed the father abused her. That is why he was not around and could not protect his child.
@@favoredblessed3535 If you would research the facts of this case, you would know that this baby's father was desperately trying to get custody of this child. The mother did everything in her power to keep him away while torturing that little angel to death
I know he's sorry he met her evil ass.
But if he had not met her, he'd have never gotten to know the love of that child, and while TRAGIC and AWFUL, I would venture to say he couldn't imagine his life without his beautiful daughter in it, while sadly it was only 4 years, but he loved that baby!
Now, if given the chance to go back, would he choose to have never met the mother to spare that baby the suffering, I am certain he would have, but as a parent, I am unable to wish for anything that would've prevented the birth of my children, but I've never lost a child, neither. It would be interesting to hear the father's perspective on this.
I know… he walked to that mess. That is how I see it.
I have to warn my dating son that if anything is going wrong between mother and child … call the police immediately you will be held responsible too.

“Nobody heard her... so today, I hope you hear her.” Heartbreaking.
Praying for him lord heal the pain
Amen 🙏😇😇🙏
AMEN
In Jesus' name amen!
That's exactly what I prayed for him.
I cannot even imagine how horrible Mr. Garrett feels, it’s absolutely heartbreaking!
My niece died at one, she wasn’t murdered at that was painful enough, this is all just so horrible.
HE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED LIFE WITH NO PAROLE AS WELL!
V Carr I think so too his charges to for not reporting and sitting back allowing & watching I don’t understand him got cold heart too
@@reahleneroberts3312 If he didn't actually touch her, I can see why he wasn't punished as severely.
If someone said "I loved Tiffany Martinez..." while seeing me take a beating of a lifetime. Slowly starving me etc. Day after day.
Bih, why you didn't call the police, sneak me out or start Operation Save Tiff?
You didn't love "me" enough.
LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!! JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL CAUSE THIS WORLD IS GOING TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET!!!😡😡😡😡
I didn't follow this case.Did her father not have visitation with his daughter to not have seen what was happening to her? At 4 she would have been able to tell him what was going on.From January to March where was the father, the grandparents and of course the "wonderful" DCS? I just wonder how in 3 months no one saw this?
@@bonniebaltz5717 there is video of his testimony that will rock your world. He’s a passionate man, and a loving father.
A HERO of a father! Thank you kaw enforcement and Cleveland, Ohio for the justice ⚖️🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 thank you media for your compassion.
Mr.Garret is a great father to his daughter😥 she always going be in his heart 💜

R.I.P BABY GIRL 👼💜
ANIYA DAY GARRET
@Frankie JJO i wonder why the father didn't intervene. if this happened over 3 months, where was he?
@@micdeleon omg, before you speak, read about what happened🤦♀️ he tried everything and no one helped😒
@Frankie JJO pls read up about this case before hating on the person who tried EVERYTHING to get his daughter back🙄🙄
There’s always something especially heartbreaking and sad about seeing a parent who would have been amazing, not able to parent their child. This poor father. I hope he finds peace soon and gets to be a child to another child. He’d be an amazing one it seems.
He just had a new baby!
@@lay5681 thank goodness! I’m so glad for him
@@lay5681 another baby that hopefully he does not abandon like he did with Aniya
@@cocosanchez7927 you have a source?
@@cocosanchez7927 he didn't abandon her aniya mom and the courts wouldn't let him get custody of her he tried for 2 yrs to get custody of her and it was denied. the mother filed charges on him making it hard for him to see and get aniya so no she wasn't abandon. the courts failed her and so did CPS!!!!
This fathers speech brought tears to my eyes. Bless his heart 🕊🤍
❤️❤️❤️ Sweet baby. Bittersweet victory. Aniya should have been given to her daddy. Her death has broke the world’s heart because it NEVER should have happened 💔💔💔 PS - IT SHOULD BE EVERYONES DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT CHILDREN! IF YOU SEE ABUSE, REPORT IT!
The problem is if you see something DO something, in this case so many ppl reported it but unfortunately nothing was done
While I was a clerk at the court, the best thing and most fulfilling thing I ever did was prepare the death warrant after the judge signed the order of execution. In this case, the victim was an elderly lady who, like Aniya, was helpless. She came home to find her house being robbed by 4 young people. They stole her car and put her in the trunk of it. They showed her off to several people none of which called the police. They'd take her out and beat her with a shovel. This retired teacher and church organist was covered with blankets after 3 or 4 days of torture and was thrown into an ice cold river with cinder blocks to weigh her down and she drowned. They didn't feed her and I don't think potty breaks were a high priority. Did I mention she was an insulin dependent diabetic? The worst of all was that only the oldest was eligible for the death penalty and life w/o parole wasn't an option in Texas at that time. You have to be at least 16 to get the death penalty. The girl turned state's evidence and got off with a lighter sentence. The 15 y/o was the scariest of the lot. I read some of his jail letters and he definitely had a blood lust. The youngest was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Depositions showed that he wasn't ok with what happened and wanted no part of it. He was 13 and was sent to juvie until he turns 18. Then he'll be released. It's the weakest in society, the children and seniors, that they hurt the most. I just can't fathom doing any of those things to people even the ones I strongly dislike. Our world is crazy in that people like these kids and monster mommy and beastly boyfriend are somehow here and able inflict their poisonous wrath on people. It makes me sad for our world.
Live in boyfriends should be grounds for CPS to remove the child from the home.
Too many kids were molested, tortured, and murdered by "live in boyfriends"
True...but the mother was abusing the child.
plateshutoverlock ~vI had a live in boyfriend/fiancé. This man treated my son 100 times better than his biological father ever did. His b-father never abused him in any way, he was just hardly ever present in his life. He only wanted my sin around when it was time to impress a new girl or her parents. He rarely paid child support, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts...almost non-existent. My live in France made sure, along with me, that my son never went without what he needed and rarely went without what he wanted.
My son had major MAJOR surgery at the age of 15. The hospital he was in, was four hours away from where his father lived...he never even sent a get well card. By that time, I was married and my husband drive us to the hospital, stayed for the entire 11 hour surgery, visited the next day and stayed...went home the next day. Called every day, several times a day, during the full two weeks that my son was in the hospital. He came the day before my son was set to go home, picked us up and drive us home the next day. He made sure that our home had everything necessary for our son to recuperate.
25 years later, I’m still married to that man. We watched our son get his first job at 16, graduate, get involved in a charity close to his heart...he’s held down a job since the age of 16 and he’s been with his company for over 20 years now. My husband has been by my side, encouraging him, supporting him, guiding him and helping to make him the wonderful, responsible adult he is today.
Oh, he has NOTHING to do with his b-father and hadn’t for many years. His two half brothers also have nothing to do with this man. He’s been married two more times after me. My son is in contact with the woman who was his first step-mother, to this day. She treated him better than his father ever did. He never really got to know his second step-mother.
Not all live in boyfriends or girlfriends for that matter, are bad people! Many are loving caring step-parents, better than b-parents. ✌️
Think "Precious".
Yes many are abused by not only live-in boyfriends but step-father’s as well. Married or live-in doesn’t save a child from horrible people. No one knows what happens behind closed doors. Child protective services is equally culpable!
@cockney gyal Is it children screaming due to pain? If you feel a child is being assaulted call the police. I’ve been in similar situation. However, I was retaliated against but it was a situation where the person’s life was in danger.
Aniya's dad is very well spoken and intelligent. I only wish him well and sorry for his loss.
Micro-aggression alert...
Why the he’ll shouldn’t he be? You sound surprised. Bit of racial profiling?
@@fafalina2000 Excuse me? Where in the hell did you come up with that? That's the problem with black people you always want to make it about race. This is why things will never change.
@@buckyg632 as a Black person I agree
That mother has no heart or forgiveness..she deserves it..she can think about all ur life.
There should be more men in this world like this man.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT HIM PEOPLE::::: HE IS A MAN.
Question, where was he at when all the abuse was taking place? Does anyone know?

Jus- Sayin - the location of some commenter’s “biological father,” has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Read the link I provided above. He did what the law allowed. Who thinks a mom is going to kill their own child? He had everything going against him. Black, young, male, dad. Any other time, people would say the dad was simply a sperm donor. At least he tried. Give this father a break.
I witnessed something similar at 19 - 20. I didn’t know better. I heard the parents were barely in their 20’s as well. If I had known better, I would have taken this child away from his mom, and reported her, and I was just the babysitter!! When he died, my mom asked if I thought she could have done it, and I couldn’t even allow myself to go there, because this boy was a part of my life for nearly two years. We never want to believe that a child should feel threatened by a parent - mom OR dad! This boy died at 35 months. He’d be 30 next February.
For all we know, the father was working so mom could smoke weed and not have to work. You don’t know the circumstances, other than what has been made public, unless you are family, or close. There are too many possibilities to start pointing fingers. The courts have almost exclusively sided with mothers in cases like these. It’s time to step out of what we think we know is right, and see what is right. Remember to think before you speak. You do not know what a person’s experiences are, what they have gone thru, or what they are currently going thru. It’s taken me over 40 years to watch mine tongue before I say something hurtful. Good luck, stay safe & healthy. ✌️
abuse went on for mths and he knew nothing !! uhhh?? seems lil unlikely he was very active !!
@@khaleedabdul-azeezedwards9523 I'm going to answer your questions with more questions. Did you not hear him voice his opposition about the birth mother always being considered the better parent? Did you not hear his criticism of DCFS?
How can an attorney live with himself and speak for a monster? A perversion of justice! No PROOF? How did he HELP her? What bull!
It’s their job
As a mother of a 38 yr old son, a 35 yr old son and a 31 year old daughter with autism and never once have my kids had a bruise or a scratch! They were not over protected. They were protected and loved as every child should be! This hurts my heart! Such monsters they are! R.I.P baby girl. My heart goes out to her father.
I agree, I have (3) Girls ( exact same age as yours ) there's no way a child could suffer those kind of injuries by herself, they were inflicted by an adult, plus she was left in her bed completely wet, dying alone. My Husband was a police officer and was murdered, he will watch over This Sweet Baby.
@@joannemadden7449 I’m so sorry about your husband. My dad was a police officer as well, but he was not murdered. So tragic. God Bless you and your girls.
How can you sit before a judge with NO remorse of killing your child and having someone help you. May God have mercy on your soul on judgement day. For everyone will be judged accordingly
We just had a toddler murdered in our community by a boyfriend. So sad. Rest in peace sweet girl.
Even if he never laid a hand on Aniya or how they claimed he didn’t live there he witnessed the abuse. His punk ass could have stopped it at anytime. He is as much to blame as her mother.
You talking about the biological Father?
@@onlyyoufashions8517
He's talking about the boyfriend. Boyfriend was there and witnessed the abuse and did nothing!!
He tried to get custody
Of coarse..whats a shame is..she was prabably raised the same way..😳 whole thing horrible...but all these child abuse cases r tragic.....🌹
@@onlyyoufashions8517 no i think he was talking bout THE boyfriend
The mother is absolutely devoid of any emotion. Her parents did a horrible job raising her.
I would never blame her parents for what she did as an adult it is not her parents fault she has no heart for her own flesh and blood
That's for real because if they were she would already be dead by her own parents this is all on Mommy
I wouldn't necessarily put the blame on her parents. There are many other reasons why people do these types of things.
Aww U cant blame her parents.. look at the other kids they had.. they function fine
If you can blame the mother’s parents, let’s just keep going and blame their parents, and their parents, etc.
There are also wonderful people who came out of horrible homes.
To some extent, no matter what you do people are going to grow up to be their own people.
This is one of the most heartbreaking and eloquent victim impact statements I have heard. My heart goes out to this family.
Anyone else get touched by the amazing impact statement of the father 🙏
Yes, very much so. ❤️
Yes i cried
No...
He is trying to be in the spotlight
BEST NEWS IVE HEARD TODAY!!!!
God bless you Mr Garrett, dignity and grace shines from you. Sweet beautiful Aniya, you are so loved little one.
Rest In Paradise Baby Girl 💞
This bloke is very passionate. And most definitely out of his baby’s mama’s league. How did he end up with that trash?!! 🤔
Clearly if his daughter was in his custody, she’d still be alive 😔
Extremely sad, praying for the fathers healing 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜
Yes but he have the right to see his daughter if he have see her he would have see how terrible she look and could have done something..now he is there but little bit too late now..
Unfortunately trash like her gets ABSOLUTELY GREAT men like him by "throwing the cat"
@@geraldbarreno535 sadly my family did the same thing to a child and didn't let the family of said child see her
I’m thinking, Things are not as they seem. I don’t know
I don’t know about this case. I also don’t know what happened the mother in her earlier life that would cause her to kill her child. It seems to me this man is grandstanding. Words are cheap. Where was he when his 4 year old was alive?
That agency's people must be prosecuted and sentence too, they are as GUILTY!
Such a shame that this loving father was denied the chance to protect and care for his own child.
My heart breaks for this father and for his beautiful little girl.
The two defendants leaving the courtroom was like watching the trash being taken to the curb.
He NEEDS to be a motivational speaker or an activist or something. This speech gave me chills...
No that's what he is auctioning for..
He wants fame..
This is not genuine!
Where was he when the baby was being abused...
He is not a great father..
It's game...
@@nubianthought69 yup
That guard behind the prosecutor looks like he was getting heated listening to that speech and about to yoke up those defendants himself right then and there!
Yes I was wondering if he was going to break down.
Yes he looked emotional
Noticed that too.
Child Protective Services, Law Enforcement let the little girl down ..she should have been taken out of that house! SAD
He NEVER CALLED FOR HELP FOR THE BABY GIRL..
Sonjia Jackson who didn’t?
And that made him an accessory to murder. That's the only reason he'll be eligible for parole. Perhaps didn't hurt the child, but didn't stop her torture.
@@rachelallen8853 right in my eyes he's just as guilty!
@@melissagarrett2554 the boyfriend
What a great speech by the father. I can't imagine this man's pain. Can't possibly imagine his pain.
I'd like to stuff that watch down that lawyer's throat
Such a heart felt closing statement! Poor little angel suffered 2 strokes and no amounts of abuse, how can any human cause such cruel act on an innocent child of any age! And how any family or friends could turn a blind eye to such torture. Some humans don't deserve to be blessed with a child, when so many can't conceive a child. Rest in peace darling angel ❤
Damn throw the whole book at em r.I.h baby girl🙏
So sorry for the dad. Sadly, every week you can't avoid hearing another story such as this.
No seriously something is wrong with that chick she literally showed ZERO EMOTION
Is anyone else curious as to why the Defence attorney was slamming his huge wrist Watch, down hard on that table?
Holy crap ! That was ridiculous!
Showing it off,must be a TAG Heuer...
Omg! I wondered the same! After the first time you know what you are doing.
The defense attorney looks like the mayor from Good Times.
I think he was overwhelmed with emotion, and was having an inner turmoil to defend his client; did you hear his voice shake?
Sue child protective service. Happens all the time
This sorry excuse for a mother is evil and she abused and destroyed that poor baby. She did it to hurt the father and she deserves life in prison without parole. The boyfriend is a fool. But, I think his defense lawyer has a point. He did not live with the mother, she abused her baby long before he came along, and I don't think he beat the baby. But he should have contacted the authorities and turned the mother in. Stop getting with these crazy women, who are abusing their children guys. If you see abuse, step up and raise hell! Protect these children. Report it, and cut all ties with these women. Or face the fate this man is facing. 27 years old, no criminal record. Now he is facing life in prison with violent offenders. His life is over. He is a fool...
God Bless this man
All fathers should be able to get custody of their children 👶 justice for Anita Marie and all children of the world
