But that's for small stuff in everyday life kind of way, i don't believe this "rule" relates to such a case, only an out of her mind junkie would go on to a hair appointment, and not be shaking the whole way there and back while her precious possession is with this particular grandma. Even if mom thought she was in 'good hands' due to the FIRST ONE being such an accident, for as we now all know..she really afterall wasn't, was she? Nope. Same outcome. This is unacceptable
If mom was truly traumatized from the first baby, there's no way in hell she wouldn't be freaking out even just at the thought of leaving this baby with grandma, let alone actually doing so. As a mom, I don't buy it and I never ever will.
Grandpa testified that he and his wife watched Tracey’s kids around 5 times per week. That is a full time job. Irresponsible parents who wanted to have kids but still live the single life. Grandmother had worked many years as a school Principal and now has to take care of grandkids 5 plus days per week. She can’t even go to lunch with her church friends without having to take a baby with her. Stressful. Your reporter said “Entrusted her kids “ NO, THE PARENTS EXPECTED THE GRANDPARENTS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR KIDS AND NOT FROM TIME TO TIME BUT AT LEAST 5 TIMES EVERY WEEK. ( Testimony by defendant’s husband during trial). LAZY IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS!
This isn’t just lazy parenting, this is selfish. Instead of realizing how stupid she was for continuing to use her mom for free childcare, she wants her to go to prison. Has her mom been tested for Alzheimer’s or dementia? She immediately put the blame on her mom instead of taking ownership of her decisions. Sounds like a pretty rotten person to me. And to think she’s having a third baby just makes me sick. Surprised she doesn’t want to keep her mom out of prison so she can hand the last one over for more free childcare.
This can be seen both ways. This gives grandma a motive to get rid of the grandkids she tired of taking care of. Also if she is caring for the children 5 plus days a week how can she forget about having the child/children?
During the recording of Tracey while at the police station, she said that she usually watches Uri once or twice a week , but the last week it had been 4, which was unusual.
How can you say you wanted your mom to be punished for the drowning, but you also give her your second child? That's absurd. And someone is lying about how frequently the grandparents watched the baby. There's clearly something wrong with grandma's brain. That's not her fault. The parents should have gotten a professional daycare provider and let the grandparents visit at will. Like so many families, they wanted convenience and wanted to save money. That's understandable as well. Nobody is truly to blame here.
The Grandmother lost her job for being forgetful. They say the first death was not the grandmother’s fault. What is the truth? Was the first death the grandmothers fault or the grandfathers fault. I’ve heard 2 different stories. Why in the world would anyone leave your baby with someone if that is true. My heart breaks for this family but parents need to be more careful who you leave your children with. Something is off with the daughter and I think this grandmother had memory loss You can tell she feels horrible. I’m happy to see the mother had another child. I bet she will never let anyone ever watch her children again
Who in their right mind takes a nap, much less take Ambien while a young child they are watching in their home. I think Nix is suffering from some sort of early stage dementia.
It's very sad that people would remember their shoe but not their child though. But I guess if it helps them to remember their precious baby, it's a good idea.
Thank you for presenting this case. Based on the number of recent highly publicized children's death resulting from being left in cars, there is NO EXCUSE! Child's item placed in front-passenger seat is commonsense reminder. But, for this Grandmother who from pick up location to her home was a ten-minute drive: Incomprehendible
I wouldn’t be surprised if her mom has undiagnosed Alzheimer’s or dementia. It seems her daughter is already showing signs as she continued to have her mom watch the second child after the first died under her “watch”. What happened to being held accountable as a parent when deciding who to leave your child alone with?
Statistics dictate not long term... after one traumatic event of this caliber let alone TWO within an eleven month period. I pray they seek long-term psychotherapy and find a way. They are still in shock from Ezra's death. The pain they are living must be soul crushing.
She was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Depression and anxiety. She was prescribed Duloxetine (Cymbalta -an SNRI antidepressant); Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril - muscle relaxer); Ambien (very controversial med for sleep); Lorazepam (benzodiazepine for anxiety). The doctor who reviewed her chart said that some of the meds were way too high a dose and inappropriate for someone over age 60 due to side effects profile. She did report concerns to her doctor regarding brain fog and apparently has a brother with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. She expressed concerns about that with the doctor. There was no evidence in the chart that cognitive testing was recommended nor was there any change to any of her meds including dosages. She had multiple diagnoses that can affect cognition, was in meds that affect cognition and had a family history of Alzheimer’s. Family had to know all or some of this. Doctors was aware she had come in (starting in 2021) with concerns about cognition and Alzheimer’s in her brother. More could have been done. If she was my patient I would definitely removed the Ambien. It’s a rough drug even for young people. Polypharmacy is a big problem with seniors and there is a lack of education for the families and patients to (hard to get done in the 15min allotted time to see a patient). Families don’t want to aknowledge or “see” cognitive issues in a family member (Dementia is a highly feared disease and people are resistant to its presence until it really has progressed. It also has symptoms that are variable from day to day. Who knows what was causing her cognition problems? Multiple factors that could cause and/or aggravate her situation. but it doesn’t seem anyone really tried to sort it out. These kinds of events aren’t going to be prevented by punishment. Only putting systems in place that make it harder for fallible humans ti make tragic mistakes (like they have done with the airlines which greatly reduced crashes). Cars need to have notification to check back seat/alarm. People need to be educated to put children in the opposite back seat from the driver’s side to give an easier back glances view. Patients need better education on side effects of meds. Doctors need to take patient reports of potential side effects seriously and send patients complaining of cognitive problems for cognitive testing. (Especially in cases like this where a job was lost to cognitive problems). Families need to be educated to be more vigilant. Also, people today are having kids at later ages and their own parents are much older then previous generations of grandparents. It’s easy to not want to aknowledge that a parent is aging but really pay attention. 45-65 is early onset Alzheimer’s. Typical ages start at 65. There are at least 12 different dementias that exist. Autoimmune diseases kick in heavily 30’s-70’s (some of which have neuro-psych symptoms.) These events are truly tragic. We need to figure out how to make it harder for them to happen.
Could be Benzos, opiates, alcohol, ANY psych meds … the public has been brainwashed by big pharma & doctors to think psych meds are harmless. They cause major brain dysfunction.
Her hair appointment was 75 minutes. So why did she not pick up her kid when she finished her hair appointment? Again taking advantage of her mother to baby sit the whole afternoon. Irresponsible parents!
I’m going to get slammed for this, but mom is on something and from what I’ve seen while working at a rehab, it rhymes with Beth. The facial moving and jerking…. Would make sense as to why she was so irresponsible
I’ve thought the same thoughts. This was supposed to be grandma‘s day off probably the one day of the week when she wasn’t providing daycare, grandma was too, spent it with her lady friends After she was retired I’ve seen many many channels reporting the same story. The day she had the baby was so the daughter could go on a hair appointment. After all she was retired I wish the grandmother would’ve said no.
I wouldn’t be allowed to forget my 3 year old granddaughter was in my care…my son & his girlfriend either text, call or video chat me non stop anytime she’s with me!! Parents looked off their nut but maybe they are medicated to cope with the loss?? I shouldn’t judge… This is the only content on the case I’ve heard but for want of a better word I’m ‘hoping’ these tragedies are because of medical conditions of Grandma & not intentional.
My feelings about this defendant have been evolving. I got a lot from the brief proffer the defense was able to offer while the jury was deliberating. Don't get me wrong, she deserves consequences, definitely. However, that expert in the phenomenon of leaving kids in cars said, for instance, that *memory problems are a symptom of PTSD.* Having a grandchild die on your watch less than a year prior, I can't imagine anything more traumatic. This woman simply wasn't well and it was masked. I didn't realize until decades later that I had been depressed for a while after a traumatic event. We sometimes don't know that we need help.
she didnt. The first child was being watched by grandpa. Grams was sleeping. He brought the baby in to the bed and laid him with grams. He didnt wake her up to tell her. The story is the child wandered outside later and went to the pond. IF I UNDERSTAND THE STORY RIGHT. i COULD BE WRONG. I heard that and wondered why the media keeps saying the first child died in GRAMS care.... If she was sleeping , she wasnt watching him.
The pain Kaila is showing in her face and trembling in her voice really reveals the emotional struggle… so painful💔 her husband has the strength to not lose it with his wife’s mom. I am a grandma of 2 infants that I watch once a week and I can’t fathom or imagine the extreme pain I could inflict if I was careless. I can’t even take my eyes off them when they are in my care. I am hyper alert with everything I do on those days.
I truly believe that grandma has an early form of dementia. Why on earth would her daughter entrust a second child with her after the initial disaster. Why was this poor grandma's daughters not minding their own children? The daughter should take some responsibility for this accident and stop disparaging her parent/s.
How can you get a "conscious disregard" from forgetting? You can't. It's not like she was speeding and an accident killed the baby. It's not like she was drinking alcohol and passed out. She forgot. Forgetfulness is NOT a conscious act or no one would ever forget anything. NOT GUILTY
I’ve been the daughter, w/ 2 small babies….& I’ve been the NeeNee w/ small grand-babies. If my mother was the only person responsible for my first baby, & he / she DIED, there’s NO WAY I’d leave my 2nd baby with my mom! N0 WAY! And, if this had been emergency circumstance, & I HAD to be at or in the hospital, my mother would still be NO option, to care, alone, for my child! No matter what was or wasn’t KNOWN about my first baby’s death! The “grandmother was responsible,& my baby drowned… nothing more to know! NADA
I think the jury would have Done something different if they knew about the sun. however it was “too prejudicial”. so we let grandma neglect the children so they die. it's so tragic but if it'd been a young woman who left her kid in the car she would have gotten more time it just bothers me so much.
I'm currently raising my grandson since birth and he is my one and only grandson or baby for that matter and I can absolutely say it's something completely different than your own kid. I don't know why and everybody tells you that but it is more than true
Let me get this straight…….. When their son died her daughter wanted her mother prosecuted for it, but she wasn’t, so instead you have your mother care for your infant daughter because you had a hair appointment? Then on top of that she testified that she trusted her because she knew that she would be with friends and that the hair place was close to where the grandmother was having lunch. If the daughter was so concerned why didn’t she pick her daughter up immediately after the hair appointment? Because by the sounds of it, it was HOURS that the child was left in the car? And the cops went and notified the mother at HOME… While I feel the grandmother should be punished for it, the mother bears some responsibility as well for leaving her with her!
I guess my first question is knowing your son died in your mothers care. WHY TF WOULD YOU EVER LEAVE ANOTHER INFANT CHILD WITH HER!?! YOUR HAIR WAS THAT IMPORTANT!!!! TO ME THAT NEGLECT ON THE MOTHER ALSO THE GRANDMOTHER GETTING A NOT GUILTY ON THE TOP CHARGE WAS CRAZY
Daughter is clearly rewriting history. There’s no way in the world the police told her that unless her mom intentionally held the baby under the water, there was nothing the law could do. What a stupid lie to tell. And then blaming the police for not arresting her mom as if her decision to leave her new baby with her mom is their fault too? She’s desperate to throw mud at everyone else so that she doesn’t have to answer for her own choices. She’s won’t forgive her mom for complete accidents but has no problem letting herself off the hook for decisions she was consciously aware of making.
I don't find this grandmother culpable, but if she is... then the mother should also be tried for HER negligence of her decision to leave her child with this person.
A horrible tragedy for this family, so so sad! Why leave your mother in charge of another child having had a tragedy with another grandson before??? I really don't know who to blame! I feel so confused 😕
LOL.... I was thinking I was the only person wondering about the smarts of the mom leaving a second child with grams. I love my parents... but if I left one child in their care and it died accidentally, I would never ask them to sit again. Never. I doubt my spouse would allow it either. that said: as a parent, it is SOOO easy to almost leave a sleeping child in the car. If one is hauling in groceries, once the final bag is in.... one might think their hauling is all done.
She can still keep her Mother but never ,never leave her alone with the young children.Who knows she could have early onset dementia or narcelepsy or something?
"Classic Hot Car Death"should be a thing of the past if AUTO MAKERS were forced to install Fire Engine loud alarms that go off if a child is left in the car !!
This is horrifying. I'm not trying to victim blame. However, if the grandmother was "watching" one of your children and he died on her watch, why on earth would you let her "watch" another one of your children??
The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is a fundamental human right. I’m not saying she’s innocent, but that a jury trial is just the judicial process if the grandmother didn’t plead guilty on all counts.
This is nitpicky of me, but it bothers me that the grandmother responds nonspecifically to EMS re time in the car. EMS needs to know quickly minutes or hours???….so the ‘awhile’ response is terrible.
Um, no. Grandma fell asleep knowing a child is in her care. Shame on the parents for leaving the daughter unsupervised in her care, again! Who risks that? And at 65 grams could have memory issues..who knows! 😡
I’m really perplexed about the way this couple is going on camera and talking about the police saying unless she held her son under water she couldn’t do anything about it but seeing that she literally called her mother last minute to watch her baby knowing what had happened before…. Ummmm whaaat?!?
Well I'm only 7:37 minutes in but I knew it, obviously drugs are involved and something ain't right with "mom & dad". I picked up on it in yesterday's video, as they were having their moment speaking to the news, its all in the eyes, its always in the eyes, if you look carefully you will see it too. "Mom" is not doing very well, if they investigated these small town freaks with babies, the story would lead to drugs,.. It always does and its always in that sparkle of the eye..
And I just realized I also picked up on it during mom's testimony, I just wanted to see more to be sure, and guess what.. this seals the deal for me. Just another pair of functioning junkie parents .
My thoughts too about the parents. The lack of personal accountability and all those twitchy movements remind me of my clients with substance use disorder. Sad for their other child/children.
Y’all are funny “assuming” the parents are drug addicts lol. All babies are drug tested now when they’re born, so I imagine if she was an “addict” that would’ve been known. Maybe the mother is being medicated right now due to losing two children within 9 months? I imagine if that happened to me, my doctor would be putting me on some medication too. Just because they aren’t acting the way you think they should be doesn’t mean they’re junkies. 🙄.
@ Yeah that's what they all say don't they? Just because they aren't acting in the way we think they should blah blah. She can't fool me but she can fool you that's for sure. Something is not right on every angle in this spectacle of a story and the more mom and dad speak, the more convinced I am
Something about this story just stinks. Why would they leave another child in the care of someone that was present when their son died? Probation for Grammy Ma, and nothing more.
I would like to know how far it was from the restaurant to her house. I am assuming not far. She probably had just put the baby in the car seat and minutes later she forgets she has the baby. 🤔
I kinda disagree with Vinnie when he said she didn’t do it on purpose. Sure, having a child die on her watch can be considered an accident, but having a second child whilst in her care within a year is intentional. Unless the grandmother was suffering from the early stages of dementia or she was/is a serious alcoholic or drug addict, then she did it deliberately. Perhaps she hates her daughter and son-in-law and by extension their children, but I believe she was willfully negligent.
Was the grandma tested for drugs, alcohol, or psych meds like Xanax which cause memory loss? If so, this is negligence. Where is the psychologist report on the grandma? I would bet money she was on Benzos or some type psych meds, which should be categorized with street drugs.
Kaila Nix should be proud of herself because I’m not sure if I know another young woman who could not only with stand with Grace what she has with stood, but then to articulate her emotions so clearly, and to the point is to me, amazing. Kaila, you don’t need that woman that gave birth to you… you say the word and I will adopt you❤ honey. You and your family.
It doesn't make sense that Kayla doesn't take the baby with her to her haircut appointment like she said she usually does but instead the baby's 65 year old grandmother has to take the baby with her to her weekly Bible study group at church and then to lunch at a restaurant. It sounds like Kayla didn't mind her son died in Tracy's care. I can't help but 🤔 if the deaths were more than just a tragic accident both times. I don't see how the woman could forget about the baby after just spending the morning with her. How could she walk away and completely forgot a precious baby was in a hot car!?
Does she drink? Serious question. There HAS to be SOME kind of reason this happened twice. Was she napping the first time because had been drinking? Did she drink at the lunch? Is she on some kind of medication that is affecting her???
I watched this trial, and as a grandmother, I felt so bad for All of the people involved. With that said, if I was on that jury, and found out later that another child died in this grandmother’s care, I would have been furious! Once is to many, but can be dealt with, but twice…cmon!
I have never heard of cases of leaving babies in cars until the last 30 years… I feel it’s connected to substance use including psych meds, opiates, etc. Who forgets a BABY??!!
I feel like the deaths of two babies under the care of the same woman within a year+ apart shows a pattern. We're not talking about failing to water some plants for someone while they go on vacation and then the plants died- we're talking about TWO HUMAN BEINGS! I mean, come on!! Accident, forgetfulness or done on purpose!- it's still death that should NOT have happened. I just feel the jury got it wrong.....I respect their verdict but I respectfully disagree. What a tragic, tragic situation!
She . doesn't trust her mom, visits are supervised, but then she needs her hair done and leave her baby in her mother' care, unsupervised. Make that make sense
She said she knew she’d be at lunch with friends, Plus she’s a baby, she can’t walk, so the mother probably thought nothing bad could happen, the loss of her son was ruled an accident, in her mind her own mother deserved a chance and would be very observant not to let ANYTHING happen to her, shes worked with kids too!!
If they had a son die under "grandma's" watch a mere year before, what was the mother thinking, leaving another baby with her at all?
Shocking that the other daughter Rebecca had no problem leaving her child there for granny to watch. Free child care from a drugged up granny.
Then you have the other sister coming over to drop off her child for her mother to watch.
@@pixiedust8961granny isn’t the only one who is drugged up, in my opinion
Letting grandma have a relationship with the baby under the watchful eye of parents, not leaving your child alone with her ever ever again!
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
@@katy-t4v2b its fool me twice shame on you, fool me 3 times shame on me. In other words, there won't be a 3rd, but I gave you 2 chances, not just one
But that's for small stuff in everyday life kind of way, i don't believe this "rule" relates to such a case, only an out of her mind junkie would go on to a hair appointment, and not be shaking the whole way there and back while her precious possession is with this particular grandma.

When it was disclosed of the Rx drugs grandma was on, it may be a huge factor in both deaths. I'm sure we will hear more Rx factors at her sentencing.
Like, what meds?
She was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Depression and anxiety. She was prescribed Duloxetine (Cymbalta -an SNRI antidepressant); Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril - muscle relaxer); Ambien (very controversial med for sleep); Lorazepam (benzodiazepine for anxiety).

The story is the child wandered outside later and went to the pond. IF I UNDERSTAND THE STORY RIGHT. i COULD BE WRONG. I heard that and wondered why the media keeps saying the first child died in GRAMS care.... If she was sleeping , she wasnt watching him.
Because she didn’t
The pain Kaila is showing in her face and trembling in her voice really reveals the emotional struggle… so painful💔 her husband has the strength to not lose it with his wife’s mom. I am a grandma of 2 infants that I watch once a week and I can’t fathom or imagine the extreme pain I could inflict if I was careless. I can’t even take my eyes off them when they are in my care. I am hyper alert with everything I do on those days.
thank you ; )
Unbelievable.
Culpable negligence to care for a child when under the influence of drugs that have significant effect on cognitive ability
Thank you, Vinnie. This story needs to be told.
I truly believe that grandma has an early form of dementia.
Why on earth would her daughter entrust a second child with her after the initial disaster. Why was this poor grandma's daughters not minding their own children? The daughter should take some responsibility for this accident and stop disparaging her parent/s.
Yes. Blame the mom. Grandma could've said no. Grandma is psycho.
Exactly, that mother needs to be watching her own children.
Stop blaming the mom, the grandmother is at fault..full stop!
I am with you on this 100%
@@Momfia51why not blame both? This story isn’t black and white
Omg.. heartbreaking🥺
This is so heartbreaking. I have no words. 💔💔
That poor mom and dad. Just heartbreaking.
How can you get a "conscious disregard" from forgetting? You can't. It's not like she was speeding and an accident killed the baby. It's not like she was drinking alcohol and passed out. She forgot. Forgetfulness is NOT a conscious act or no one would ever forget anything. NOT GUILTY
I agree.
I’ve been the daughter, w/ 2 small babies….& I’ve been the NeeNee w/ small grand-babies. If my mother was the only person responsible for my first baby, & he / she DIED, there’s NO WAY I’d leave my 2nd baby with my mom! N0 WAY! And, if this had been emergency circumstance, & I HAD to be at or in the hospital, my mother would still be NO option, to care, alone, for my child! No matter what was or wasn’t KNOWN about my first baby’s death! The “grandmother was responsible,& my baby drowned… nothing more to know! NADA
That lady, Kaila, has no right to demand anything. I feel bad for her and her husband and their lack of good judgment.
Why would you let a 16 month old to roam in the house andnotock the doors
DEMENTIA ?
Im sorry for everybody involved, even for the grandmother.
I don’t know how Tracey lives with this. My heart breaks for the whole family.
I think the jury would have Done something different if they knew about the sun. however it was “too prejudicial”. so we let grandma neglect the children so they die. it's so tragic but if it'd been a young woman who left her kid in the car she would have gotten more time it just bothers me so much.
Sorry she deserves no mercy lock her up and I am sorry but jury should know about the other baby!
Was there any concern about possibly early onset Alzheimer’s/dementia or perhaps a substance use disorder, maybe even if later in life.
I'm currently raising my grandson since birth and he is my one and only grandson or baby for that matter and I can absolutely say it's something completely different than your own kid. I don't know why and everybody tells you that but it is more than true
Let me get this straight…….. When their son died her daughter wanted her mother prosecuted for it, but she wasn’t, so instead you have your mother care for your infant daughter because you had a hair appointment? Then on top of that she testified that she trusted her because she knew that she would be with friends and that the hair place was close to where the grandmother was having lunch. If the daughter was so concerned why didn’t she pick her daughter up immediately after the hair appointment? Because by the sounds of it, it was HOURS that the child was left in the car? And the cops went and notified the mother at HOME…
While I feel the grandmother should be punished for it, the mother bears some responsibility as well for leaving her with her!
Grandma might deep down resent taking care of grandkids. accidently on purpose
That’s the feeling I get as well. It was willful neglect.
I think Grandma needs to be evaluated seems like she may have starting of dementia or ahlzheimerz.
I guess my first question is knowing your son died in your mothers care. WHY TF WOULD YOU EVER LEAVE ANOTHER INFANT CHILD WITH HER!?! YOUR HAIR WAS THAT IMPORTANT!!!! TO ME THAT NEGLECT ON THE MOTHER ALSO THE GRANDMOTHER GETTING A NOT GUILTY ON THE TOP CHARGE WAS CRAZY
Daughter is clearly rewriting history. There’s no way in the world the police told her that unless her mom intentionally held the baby under the water, there was nothing the law could do. What a stupid lie to tell. And then blaming the police for not arresting her mom as if her decision to leave her new baby with her mom is their fault too? She’s desperate to throw mud at everyone else so that she doesn’t have to answer for her own choices. She’s won’t forgive her mom for complete accidents but has no problem letting herself off the hook for decisions she was consciously aware of making.
It was a horrible reckless accident by this grandma. I read somewhere that the grandma was on medication
I don't find this grandmother culpable, but if she is... then the mother should also be tried for HER negligence of her decision to leave her child with this person.
Why is the music so loud??????
Awful!!!!!
What was she thinking about that took priority over her granddaughter?
A horrible tragedy for this family, so so sad! Why leave your mother in charge of another child having had a tragedy with another grandson before??? I really don't know who to blame! I feel so confused 😕
LOL.... I was thinking I was the only person wondering about the smarts of the mom leaving a second child with grams. I love my parents... but if I left one child in their care and it died accidentally, I would never ask them to sit again. Never. I doubt my spouse would allow it either. that said: as a parent, it is SOOO easy to almost leave a sleeping child in the car. If one is hauling in groceries, once the final bag is in.... one might think their hauling is all done.
She can still keep her Mother but never ,never leave her alone with the young children.Who knows she could have early onset dementia or narcelepsy or something?
If they charged her the first time, the second baby might have a different outcome even if the grandmother didn’t need to go to jail first time
Why was a hair appointment so important? The mom is acting rather “ sped up “
Then your own words you say you didn’t trust grandma but you just NEEDED that hair appointment so you dropped her off. Sickening
"Classic Hot Car Death"should be a thing of the past if AUTO MAKERS were forced to install Fire Engine loud alarms that go off if a child is left in the car !!
Sorry Vinnie love you but putting a shoe in back is ridiculous...
Vinnies not angry but I am. I'm angry that the mother and father are taking their anger out on the grandmother and pushing for punishment.
The dynamic between mom and the grandmother is just OFF. Bizarre.
This is horrifying. I'm not trying to victim blame. However, if the grandmother was "watching" one of your children and he died on her watch, why on earth would you let her "watch" another one of your children??
Why did this even go to trial... she left the baby in the car she died. Guilty period
The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is a fundamental human right. I’m not saying she’s innocent, but that a jury trial is just the judicial process if the grandmother didn’t plead guilty on all counts.
How old was the grandmother, maybe she has memory issues.
She was under the influence of strong medication- since stopping her cognitive abilities have improved- dementia doesn't
This is nitpicky of me, but it bothers me that the grandmother responds nonspecifically to EMS re time in the car. EMS needs to know quickly minutes or hours???….so the ‘awhile’ response is terrible.
Um, no. Grandma fell asleep knowing a child is in her care. Shame on the parents for leaving the daughter unsupervised in her care, again! Who risks that? And at 65 grams could have memory issues..who knows! 😡
Why is so difficult to believe that this killer did this on purpose? I think she hates her daughter and she killed her grandchildren on purpose!!😡
I’m really perplexed about the way this couple is going on camera and talking about the police saying unless she held her son under water she couldn’t do anything about it but seeing that she literally called her mother last minute to watch her baby knowing what had happened before…. Ummmm whaaat?!?
Well I'm only 7:37 minutes in but I knew it, obviously drugs are involved and something ain't right with "mom & dad". I picked up on it in yesterday's video, as they were having their moment speaking to the news, its all in the eyes, its always in the eyes, if you look carefully you will see it too. "Mom" is not doing very well, if they investigated these small town freaks with babies, the story would lead to drugs,.. It always does and its always in that sparkle of the eye..
And I just realized I also picked up on it during mom's testimony, I just wanted to see more to be sure, and guess what.. this seals the deal for me. Just another pair of functioning junkie parents .
My thoughts too about the parents. The lack of personal accountability and all those twitchy movements remind me of my clients with substance use disorder. Sad for their other child/children.
Y’all are funny “assuming” the parents are drug addicts lol. All babies are drug tested now when they’re born, so I imagine if she was an “addict” that would’ve been known. Maybe the mother is being medicated right now due to losing two children within 9 months? I imagine if that happened to me, my doctor would be putting me on some medication too. Just because they aren’t acting the way you think they should be doesn’t mean they’re junkies. 🙄.
And if someone is blind, what is your fool proof sign? thanks
@ Yeah that's what they all say don't they? Just because they aren't acting in the way we think they should blah blah. She can't fool me but she can fool you that's for sure. Something is not right on every angle in this spectacle of a story and the more mom and dad speak, the more convinced I am
Something about this story just stinks. Why would they leave another child in the care of someone that was present when their son died? Probation for Grammy Ma, and nothing more.
The mother may have dementia
Sorry, but I would never have left another child in her care after the death of the first child . Plenty of blame to go around in this tragic story.
I would like to know how far it was from the restaurant to her house. I am assuming not far. She probably had just put the baby in the car seat and minutes later she forgets she has the baby. 🤔
I kinda disagree with Vinnie when he said she didn’t do it on purpose. Sure, having a child die on her watch can be considered an accident, but having a second child whilst in her care within a year is intentional. Unless the grandmother was suffering from the early stages of dementia or she was/is a serious alcoholic or drug addict, then she did it deliberately. Perhaps she hates her daughter and son-in-law and by extension their children, but I believe she was willfully negligent.
Was the grandma tested for drugs, alcohol, or psych meds like Xanax which cause memory loss? If so, this is negligence. Where is the psychologist report on the grandma? I would bet money she was on Benzos or some type psych meds, which should be categorized with street drugs.
Kaila Nix should be proud of herself because I’m not sure if I know another young woman who could not only with stand with Grace what she has with stood, but then to articulate her emotions so clearly, and to the point is to me, amazing. Kaila, you don’t need that woman that gave birth to you… you say the word and I will adopt you❤ honey. You and your family.
This woman is a child killer , that is my opinion
It doesn't make sense that Kayla doesn't take the baby with her to her haircut appointment like she said she usually does but instead the baby's 65 year old grandmother has to take the baby with her to her weekly Bible study group at church and then to lunch at a restaurant. It sounds like Kayla didn't mind her son died in Tracy's care.
I can't help but 🤔 if the deaths were more than just a tragic accident both times. I don't see how the woman could forget about the baby after just spending the morning with her. How could she walk away and completely forgot a precious baby was in a hot car!?
Does she drink? Serious question. There HAS to be SOME kind of reason this happened twice. Was she napping the first time because had been drinking? Did she drink at the lunch? Is she on some kind of medication that is affecting her???
If she does,she would not admit to it.
I watched this trial, and as a grandmother, I felt so bad for All of the people involved. With that said, if I was on that jury, and found out later that another child died in this grandmother’s care, I would have been furious! Once is to many, but can be dealt with, but twice…cmon!
I feel like twice in a short period of time is so unlikely without some logical reason
🙏🏻💔😪
She was on heavy medication- she shouldn't have said yes to looking after a plant !!!!🌱
She shouldnt have been ASKED.
What drugs was she taking?
Your legitimate sources are??? 🙄
Viniiiiieeee
How do you forget about baby that you took to lunch with you. I think she has cognitive issues. On ly explanation
I think it’s on purpose. She should have never let her babysit the second child.
On purpose??? Yeah, sure. 🙄🤦♀️
Like we used to say back in the day.. Thats not the face of a joint--- SPECIFICALLY MOM THE "BUSINESS OWNER".
These folks are clearly on something, look at them
??
😮😢
my condolences
I have never heard of cases of leaving babies in cars until the last 30 years… I feel it’s connected to substance use including psych meds, opiates, etc. Who forgets a BABY??!!
I feel like the deaths of two babies under the care of the same woman within a year+ apart shows a pattern. We're not talking about failing to water some plants for someone while they go on vacation and then the plants died- we're talking about TWO HUMAN BEINGS! I mean, come on!! Accident, forgetfulness or done on purpose!- it's still death that should NOT have happened. I just feel the jury got it wrong.....I respect their verdict but I respectfully disagree. What a tragic, tragic situation!
She . doesn't trust her mom, visits are supervised, but then she needs her hair done and leave her baby in her mother' care, unsupervised. Make that make sense
She said she knew she’d be at lunch with friends, Plus she’s a baby, she can’t walk, so the mother probably thought nothing bad could happen, the loss of her son was ruled an accident, in her mind her own mother deserved a chance and would be very observant not to let ANYTHING happen to her, shes worked with kids too!!
Was the grandma tested for drugs, alcohol, or psych meds like Xanax which cause memory loss? If so, this is negligence.
This whole
I think Grandma needs to be evaluated seems like she may have starting of dementia or ahlzheimerz.
