I have wept over this - and won't read anymore because it is clear what happened to this poor darling girl.
I sit and listen to my own 10yr old dd as I type, chatting away with her sibling, and I wonder what evil must lurk within a person that takes over to the extent that you can beat a child to death.
To beat a child must require a deranged level of malfunctioning and while I don't support the death penalty, I support specific prisons built and allocated for this type of crime.
Child murderers should not be afforded any dignity whatsoever. A hole for them to exist until their last breath, starved of basics and any human contact beyond whatever it would take to keep them alive.
The trio involved in this should never see the light of day again.
And yes, race and religion is a factor in this case.
