Poor Mr. Cervantes, this is just agony for him. He's chewing up the inside of his mouth. I hope he will be better soon. He did everything he could for this child. ❤

neglect is better, than taking your anger, rage and your lowlife on a little child. she was just 5, she had no clue. all she knew was how hated she was by her family. her mom who couldn't love her enough to protect her. RIP. May her soul rest in peace, and find eternal light. an angel in heaven.

Neglect goes hand in hand with physical abuse,. Not feeding them, not getting medical attention for their injuries caused by the abuse just to name a couple.

Prosecution is so disorganized. Get it together.

The way that nurse/former combat infantryman looked at the defendant when he confirmed she was "completely unresponsive" let me know if he had 5 minutes alone with him, he'd handle that "man"

Right

As a mother I want to thank any and all medical personnel when it comes to such heart breaking situations. Besides the pain a mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle and other family and friends go through, Nurses especially, and Drs. as well, you guys go through an immense anount of pain knowing you have to do any and everything you can, to save a child from death, or any other form of abuse. I dont think us on the outside looking in really never acknowledged the fact your feelings and you all go through hearbreak, depression and trauma as well. I sometimes feel depending on these court cases and what's going on, the abuser should also be charged with something because of the amount of pain the nurses, doctors, EMTs, officers, etc.also have to.go through, the rest of their lives as well 😞💔

She was so obsessed with the Asthma angle! Even after the medical examiner clearly state several times to her that there were no signs of active asthma and it was NOT the cause of death, she still had that poor pediatrician come onto the stand to confirm she had seen Mercedes for Asthma in 2017! All of my kids are asthmatic to differing degrees! My daughter had a few episodes when she was a Toddler then grew out of it. Which it sounds like Mercedes grew out of it to! I seriously hope she retires soon.
