Why do people hurt and kill their babies? Baby Grace reportedly cried out "I love you Mommy" as she was being beaten. She was being beaten because she was two years old and her Mom's husband wanted to teach her discipline, particularly how to say "yes, sir", "thank you" and "please".
According to the mother, she stood by and watched as her husband beat this baby with 2 belts, dunked her in a tub of cold water, and finally hurled her against the wall several times after he became aggravated that the baby wasn't minding. On July 25, 2007, he stayed home from work so that he could discipline the baby all day long.
“I said we have to get her to a hospital. (Zeigler) said, ‘No we can’t. We’ll go to jail,”’ Trenor said in the videotape, crying. “There came a point where she stopped breathing. He started doing CPR on the floor. He took her ... and handed her over to me. I could just feel her going cold.”
The couple then wrapped her in plastic bags and kept her in a shed for a month or two before buying a container stuffing her inside it and dumping her body into Galveston Bay. They told friends and family that the baby had been taken away by Child Protective Services.
God Bless the Children, and may God have mercy on our souls.
