A Decatur, Illinois man admitted inflicting the injuries that caused his 4-year-old daughter’s death on Aug. 31.
Police say 29-year-old Darrell A. Reynolds admitted whipping Amarrah C. Reynolds with a belt.
The toddler was pronounced dead after she was transported to an emergency room unresponsive with her body covered in bruises, scabs and old injuries.
Reynolds appeared Thursday in a Macon County courthouse, where he was arraigned. He faces a first-degree murder charge that carries a sentence of 20 years to life in prison. He is being held in jail without bond.
Macon County State’s Attorney’s Office charge that Amarrah’s death “resulted from exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty.”
Police say Reynolds admitted abusing the child for at least 2 years.
“I just killed my daughter,” he told investigators during an interview, according to The Herald & Review newspaper in Decatur.
Amarrah’s mother appeared in court on Friday to answer charges of willful neglect child abuse.
Let this be a warning to the few of you who still beat your children.
Remember, violence begets violence. We continue the cycle of violence in the black community when we teach our children that the only way to correct a child’s behavior is through abuse.
Teach your children to love, not hate.
This was on my local news. I have a few friends that live there. RIP babygirl! ??
A grown man should not be beating a child. He couldn’t permanently injure or kill the child as a result of his strength. Maybe parents should focus on parenting instead of beating.
What the hell could a toddler have done or said to make you beat her to death? I have a 4 years old and a rarely ever spank her. I take away privileges, toys, snacks or make her take a nap. She is still a baby. Wtf is wrong with folks?
He abused her for 2 years.SMH. Starting at 2, and continuing for 2 years? WTF was her mama doing? Obviously just sitting there, letting him eat the babies snacks, cooking and feeding him before the baby, and all the s hit. She needs to be charged with more than she’s charged with. She let it happen. She should be charged as an accessory at least.
Wtf can a 4year old do???what make too much noise? Cry too loud? What…thus fool was just evil..but I blame the mom for this one it’s her fault she let that demon abuse her child for 2years???omg I would mess a dude up beating on my baby …this is getting outta hand
Exactly. When my son was around 2, this guy I was seeing was holding him and dropped him. I told him “Get the f uck out of my house now, and don’t come back.”
I would put my life on the line by choking the life out Anyone who hurts mine…God forgive me.
She aint ?. So having a father in the home resulted in a child being beat to death for two years but being a single mom makes your child a deliquent or gay according to blog logic. Smh.
This is all too familiar to me. I have been lurking on this website for years and have been quite entertained, however I have noticed that here lately there have been a lot of post on people killing their children. Where here is my story. I am a grandmother of a murdered baby. My ex-daughter in law killed my grandson because she was mad at my son. I am praying for justice but I don’t know if it will come. I will say this however these people know what they are doing and there is a special place in hell for them. #justgettingitoffmychest
I dont understand how he could do that to his own daughter. I dated a dude who use to voulnteer to babysitt. He asked one too many times. I told his ass what make you think i need a babysitter? And why do you think it would be you? I stopped seeing him. Eff that. A man should be at work. Not babysitting. I am surprises he was the father. Most stories you hear like this its a boyfriend.
Lord please hold and and cradle that baby ! Let angels sing her to sleep!
RIP little one
First of all
You don’t beat a 4 year old with a belt
You pop them
If anything
Whipping instill fear which in many cases is necessary
So that the whipping is rarely necessary after the fear is instilled
Now the thought of mommy or daddy becomes more intimidating than their own thoughts or someone else trying to push them to do something
Some children are already fearful so just the voice or losing their favorite toy or hobby might do the trick
Talking to before the whipping also helps
to help with the understanding of why they were wrong
But if your child doesn’t fear you
Your in trouble
Horrible.
He looks evil.
??? I’m not a mother but I’m like you I would have done the samething women better wake up its some sociopathic men out here they come from all walks of life so you could possibly encounter one I don’t have kids but when I leave the house my child is leaving with me secondly no dude is living with me if we aren’t married…woman just have to be vigilant when it comes to our children
I’d rather have a gay delinquent child instead of a dead child I’m with you she ain’t shid
The father does not deserve to live off taxpayers for 20+ years. This baby suffered for 2 years I guess she never went to a doctor for her yearly checkup or shots. Hell I thought a friend of mines new boyfriend was getting too close to her 3 boys and I asked her about the situation and she assured me everything was good but I’m still watching and if I see or hear anything it’s on.
I cannot stand people who hurt their dam kids. I hit a guy once in the head cause I did not like the way he was hitting his son. The Lil boy was screaming. Please stop. Just writing this bring tears ugh. I took him home to his momma and ended it there….chyt still piss me off . Don’t know if Thats why I don’t date men with small age kids anymore. I can toleratestuff like that and the momma sit back and say girl he ain’t gonna hurt him… Women and dyck
You can’t force people to be parents….women or men. They may physically be able to have children, but it doesn’t mean that they are capable enough to be parents. We keep hearing these stories of fathers and mothers with anger issues, mental health issues, and so on, keeping children when everyone knows they shouldn’t be watching them.
I feel you on that and even if they don’t won’t the children they can always give them up for adoption. It’s plenty of loving couples and married couples who can’t have children and would love to take in children who parents don’t won’t them or can’t provide for them. Just a sad case I don’t understand these parents and the things they do though. ??
That mother ain’t shit for letting this happen. I would never….it just pisses me off like nothing else. You never hit a child in anger, ever, cause you don’t know your strength!
Death penalty for both of those vile soulless bastards
I will lose it if it was my granddaughter I already told her momma and daddy. I will fck both of them up.. If I ever see a mark on her where she been hit… Fck in taking no chances. They laugh at me but I be serious…
I agree with you, this is not the first and he had to have done it before. How can you as a woman or real man hear your child screaming in that type of agony and it not tear your soul apart and do nothing. I can’t even hear my dog whimper. How?????
When I hear people quick to say violent things like this I am not shocked when violence goes on in their household
I’ve seen “your” profile pic on another site, under a different screen name and angle. I examined the two pictures and its the same head. Hmmmm.
Im a grandmother and my grandson came and told me his daddy beat him because he was hungry and ate some crackers that wasn’t his. They never have food in the house and my grandson was ignored when he went over there. My grandson has never been back and is never going back. His daddy girfriend is jealous of my daughter and wanted to get her hands on my grandson. The dads mother has child abuse charges from her own kids. Me and my daughter stick together. You can’t even trust the dads around these kids now.
@RaeRae……….Good Morning and I am so so sorry for your loss! I can’t begin to imagine your pain. What kind of hoodrat does that because she is angry with the baby’s father? So to hurt him, you kill your own child? I hope they put that heartless trick under the jail. She does not belong in the company of civilized people. I am praying for you and your family. I hope that you get the justice that you so richly deserve. Have a good day and be blessed.
Sorry for your loss! Sending hugs & prayers your way. ??
I really think the mother should face the same charges. Neglect charge is not enough…if she stood by idle while he was beating the hell out of this baby regularly, she is just as guilty of the child’s murder IMO. What did she think would happen if he continued to throttle this child? Fkn Btch.
i wish every child being abused by someone had a wonderful grandmother like you to step in and put a stop to it!
He probably was beating her ass too. Hate to say it but if he was beating the mama, she deserved it for letting him beat her child like that.
I gathered evidence and all just in case he tries to take my daughter to court about my grandson not coming over there. We cut all contact. Kids are not punching bags.
Nothing live by myself…but hurting a child I will defend at all cost. And no its not in her home either. But family members see these. Signs and do nothing. In not one of them family….is that more understandable to u. If not. Shrugs
There is no greater evil than abusing a child. Anyone found guilty, in my opinion, deserves the most severe punishment available. In fact, I say let general population get to them. They know how to exact justice!
RIP, poor little baby girl! You are safe now.
thank you both
I hardly ever agree with Sandra Rose, but YES to stopping beatings. I understand a pop on the hand or one quick pop on the leg…but all that belt/extension cord/curtain rod action needs to go.
He DID permanently injure – he killed her. Rotten POS!
Yep!! She just as guilty.
Exactly, BYE!!
These men have been killing these women and kids left and right.
Condolences and strength sent your way. Thank you for sharing your story and picture of your precious grandson.
I totally agree with you. I hate when the father abuses his child/children and the mother is let off like a victim. She is just as guilty as him. I would have kïlled the father with my bare hands, if he would have beat my daughter. No man should EVER beat their daughters. This teaches her that it’s okay, to let a man hit her.
I get so upset when I read these stories, I cannot imagine the fear and pain this child experienced in her last moments of life. Did this beautiful girl ever have a moment of love, happiness or security. I get so angry at the mothers who allow their children to be abused because how could you carry a person in your body for nine months and allow that to happen. I hate myself for thinking that she is better off since the abuse would have continued and the outcome would have probably been the same.
It’s so heartbreaking. I don’t understand how you can hurt a little kid. Now I’ve wanted to f..k my son up during his teen years tho.
I think we women need to pick better partners to have children with. Children need fathers just like they need mothers. I say the same thing to my male friends when they complain about the mother of their children. You picked her, you just chose not to see her for who she was or you did not care enough to use a condom. It is a two way street not every man becomes an a ** after the baby is born, he was always one.
What could any woman see in him. He has mean and empty eyes, I hate that those eyes were the last thing this little girl had to look at.
Violence begets Violence….get the FOH with that BS. Me and my siblings got our asses tore up and we are not violent, never have been to jail, all successfully graduated college and have careers. We fine. Lol
Man, where was gramma? Grampa? Cousins? Neighbors? Pediatrician? I know folks don’t parade their child when they beat them, but somebody somewhere knew it wasn’t cool and turned a blind eye. Daddy ain’t ?, mama going for it, who cares enough about the child to not give a f uck about hurting the parents feelings. Report that ? anonymously. Just step in!
The proper thing family should do is to alert authorities, not start beating people ,when people state they are going to lash out thats the type of behavior that get kids hurt in the first place.
Lol what site is that
Lol what site is that
Never mind lol
Never mind lol
This, I agree with. However,having dealt with an asshole, I will say it sometimes it hard to get away from bad people. It me personally going to jail a few times for me to finally be done with my child’s father and I knew from day one he wasn’t?. He played on my sense of entitlement and my greedy habits and after I sat in jail, it humbled me. Then, I was finally able to move on.
I’m so happy they have you
Stop stealing other people’s photos. I know the other account isn’t yours but it is the same black mans head. I should notify him and let him know you’re using his pictures. Stick to being a lurker if I ever see you post some ignorant ish again I’m telling.
He had to have been abusive to the mother as well. Beat me but the moment you hurt my child I hate to think of a mother so broken she has no maternal instinct to protect her child. Now she will hv to live with her daughter’s memory haunting her. She should be charged as well. If you can’t protect yourself seems you would find a way to get your baby away from that monster.
Poor beautiful baby there’s a difference between abuse and discipline and he went past abuse. It’s so sad…..
Lol miss lady I have not stole not one person photo if you for sure about that person head you should know he is a photographer and I don’t take kindly to stealing photos at all.i guess it’s ignorant to tell a person keep a cool head. What you even sweating me for anyway you want something ?
Just like some people accuse somebody of something and be 100% wrong
I am sorry that this happened to you & your family. May you continue to cherish the wonderful memories that you have of this beautiful baby. Hopefully justice will prevail.
Did not read
I spanked my kids when they were young but on the hand if they were in danger or touching something hot etc but we NEVER pulled out a belt! WTF was he so mad about?
My hubby never really put his hands on our kids and still not till this day. WE yelled a lot and popped them on the butt but my kids were different when they were young, they just didn’t really cut up! I get more lip outta them now as teens than when they were toddlers lol. This guy definitely has anger issues or something else was making him act out on this small child. May she R.I.P.
Yes ma’am he did. And for them to notice historical bruising definitely means mom and maybe daycare chose a blind eye in regard to this child’s safety. Everyone who had contact with the child in the past 2 years needs a talking to.

You probably received spankings as discipline. This little girl was experiencing violence, indifference, all manners of abuse and lack of medical care.
Angry folks with self esteem issues have found easy weak targets to use as bunching bags, their children.

If the child attended daycare the same is required for them.
Right
a family member of mines killed her child by beating him to death?. did abt 20 years in jail. shes out now? some of my fam fcks with her but I DONT!! never wrote back, visited or answered calls! ? FOMF unforgivable??
The few times I have spanked child with a belt on the behind, I felt sick and bad so I stop. Now once in a blue moon, she might get popped on the behind but I try to avoid it if I can. I mostly take away privileges and such but I will yell just make my point. I am so soft spoken that folks dont believe me when I am being serious. A little yelling and an ugly face goes a long way when I take away privileges and such.?
Same here! I firmly believe in spare the rod, spoil the child. However, in this case specifically, it was ongoing over 2 years & most likely escalating. No child that age is that bad.
My children didn’t get spanked as often as I did but we set expectations early and I think that makes a difference. A swat on the tail after one firm warning usually gets the point across real quick.
That is what a loving mother is supposed to do. I wonder if some of these men test women to see what they will tolerate regarding the treatment of their children.
I am so sorry for you and son. There is something wrong with people (all people) that makes them feel that children are property and should know what to do to not upset the adult.
There was a woman who was seeing a married man and he beat her son to death. She was in the kitchen and heard a noise but did not check on her child until the following morning. A go fund me page was created and people were making it seem like she was the victim. The boyfriend hated the father of her child and threatened to kill him. So this woman let this man be near her son, I got so angry with people making it about her that I told them all I hoped her p* ssy rotted because she needed a p * nis in her life that poor baby is dead.
I feel you. If a man acts like he has a million problems with my child’s father, he’s gone. I wouldn’t trust that he would ever treat my child fare, knowing how much he hates the father. Some women are so d?mn desperate to say that they have a man, they will literally tolerate anything. It’s sad. But what piššes me off, is when these air head moms, get all this sympathy and the child is dead because she turned a blind eye to the abuse.
I dont believe in spankings. I think when a parent has to resort to beating a child’s ass with an object that says a lot about communication between the parent and child. Beating a four year old is ridiculous. If beatings really work why is their a need for more beatings??. People also kill me with well I was beat as a child blah blah blah…well that explains why you’re an asshole and ready to fight someone because they looked at you the wrong way? Go to any inner city school and see the way these middle school and high school kids act. They are getting beat with objects at home and the parents dont know how to communicate without cursing and violence and these kids go to school always ready to fight and terrorize other students….
Well said. I will never spank my children. I was not spanked nor my siblings. My children are incredibly well behaved and make good grades. I and my siblings are all quite successful and know how to communicate without resorting to spanking. Additionally, spanking and “sparing the rod” is slave shyt! Progress people!
Yikes. I hope that picture is not current, ’cause bruh don’t look like he’s shed one tear. Maybe he’s in shock. Maybe he feels justified. I’m glad he copped to it. Honestly, I’m interested in knowing more about his thinking and where he truly stands on this issue now. May she rest in peace.
Lol hell yea i have 2 teen girls i know the feeling
I hate reading ish like this…………you know they ain’t gone let you whoop nayn one of they asz. Yet they will use your tax money for them to have a snack cart and writing utensils and shyt.
Stay strong. :hugs:
I will thanks
Shid, I use to get the belt to, but not within an inch of my life. Dude was swingin that MF’r.
I have a family member who been in the pen since the 70’s and be trying to involve his locked up azz in family sht, like he has some say so or we care about what he thinks.
People who beat their children to this degree are cowards. They are inflicting pain on those who cannot fight back. There is nothing a child that age could do that would make you want to beat them to death and first degree murder charges for a child only gets you 20 years to life! That’s not a sentence good enough for the torture and pain this child has endured. More than blaming this man I blame the mother! It is our natural instinct to protect our children.
Got Damn!
Mmmmm…………..
Mmmmm…………..
I got spankings and whoppings..but this is murder.
Me 2 Myself Right Now………….
There’s a difference between discipline and abuse. This is so sad.
Her mama was probably just so happy to have a man. Very sad.
Exactly! It’s not like the 4 year old robbed a bank. She was probably playing with her toys too loud.
This baby had scabs…..SCABS!! That means the abuse had been a constant in her life. Heart be still, I hate this world!
When will these dumb desperate bum twitches learn? Where the good Lord split him will “experience exceptionally brutal and/or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty” when he enters prison.
He beat her ? he didn’t discipline her BIG difference between the two… So sorry lil baby ? RIH lil angel ??
GO 2JAIL.
DO NOT PASS GO
DO NOT GO HOME
GO 2JAIL.
Why did I read the story that this bastid raped this little girl? I’m still sick about it. They’ll handle both parents behind bars.
I disagree with the last remark about what a man should be doing, but I think you were absolutely right for no longer dating him. he sounds like a pedophile. one would think if a guy is interested in spending time with you or dating you, he may offer to pay for a babysitter for you not BE the babysitter… was he going to watch your child while you went out and had fun without him? strange.
giving the occasional butt whooping is not an evil thing to do. beating your child senselessly to the point of death is cruel, yes. i am not an advocate of physical beatings, but i do understand that with some kids [my little cousin for one], they do not always respond to reduction of privileges and such. the most important thing when disciplining, i believe, is ensuring you explain why the behavior is wrong and discussing with your child what they can do to rectify it. this will shape their moral compass and values as they age and hopefully groom them into a responsible well rounded adult. also, positive reinforcement works i think much better than negative reinforcement.
Disciplining your child does not kill them. Many ppl have survived ass whipping to live another day. Excessive force was used here so don’t write this article like Disciplining a child is a problem. No this monster was the problem.
I stay away from the whippings. You don’t need to hit your child to get your point across. Hitting is violence no matter how you wrap it up In a bow.
Beating our kids was something our ancestors learned from the slave masters and it’s been passed down to us. It’s not the right thing to do. These kids are human beings and deserved to be treated as such.
Why have children if you do something so heinous to them?? Seriously, thinks twice before having a child.
No child should have to suffer at the hands of possibly not being wanted. Especially being abused for two years.
RIP lil one. I hope your dad rots in heil.
A lady and her two young children came to my garage sale this weekend and she threatened to hit her 8 yr old son in the face because he wanted a toy. I just shook my head at her. She is teaching her son violence so when he goes out and put his hands on another kid she will be the one to blame.
As a single mom people would try to tell me not to have another man in your home that is not the father because the man could rape or abuse your child and here we see time and time again the natural FATHER is the main one’s abusing their kids. Just like the hot car trial they are having in Atlanta where the FATHER killed his own child and no one is outraged but if the mom was single the camera would be all up in her house and talking to the neighbors and everybody.
Wait a minute some MARRIED women I have spoken to said they will never leave their kids alone with the father especially the girls. I tell them wow you slept next to a man every night that you think is a child molester. So what you are saying is not just a single thang. Married men do molest their own kids.
I totally agree!!! I was never beaten a day in my life and you bet believe I was well behaved because taking away privileges hurt even more because it last that much longer. I do the same with my son and no issue with him either. I just give him the evil look (which terrifies him lol) and he stands up straight!!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find strength in the sweet memories you have of your precious grandchild.
Now a teenager is a different stories. Because teens can try you. So I understand where your coming from with that. Lol! But a 4 year old??? SMH this story just made me tear up. If you don’t have self control and don’t know to discipline a child in the proper way and TEACH them right from wrong..then DON’T be a parent. A 4 year old doesn’t need to be beaten. They need to be instructed on right from wrong.
My parents are from Nigeria, so beatings was the only form of discipline that we had at home. Now that I am a mother myself, I refuse to beat my children, aside from the physical, I know the mental and emotional pain you experience when your parents hand down vicious beatings. I also agree that we learn to use violence as the answer to everything whenever we are affronted if we have been beaten as children. I hope this poor excuse for a man gets what he deserves. RIP Amarrah
So true. I agree! It seems like these young parents today dont have a clue as to how to be a parent. Kids raising kids.
i’m so sorry that happened to you, the baby, and your son! what boils me is folk refusing to accept that there are a lot of ain’t shyt mothers out here too. behind every chronically abused child is a mother that did it or allowed it to happen. i hope your family will get justice in the system but real justice will be delivered by God.
and f@cking him because they have a younger child. she can get 2-10 years on her charge so i hope they give her the max.
She was such a cutie pie. I would have taken her and raised her.
A lot of people grew up getting beating and didn’t go around putting their hands on folks
I can count on both hands the times my parents ” beat me.” They didn’t do it often but I was and I still am a very sensitive individual, so these experiences come up now and then. It’s never a positive flashback and I’m always left thinking how can you sit here and hurt your child? I made up my mind along time ago to not use violence as a form of punishment.
Just because you grew up getting a beating It doesnt make it right and would you ever tell your child you are going to hit them in the face? That’s abuse and it could land the mom in jail. Hitting your child in the face is violence. I got my butt whipped but my mom had that mentality that it was ok to beat your child but it only made me resent her.
I’m not saying that it is right… But I will say that the generations before mine grew up getting beatings all the time and were respectful. The kids now who don’t get beating are off the chain bad
I’m glad you touched on the emotional and mental angst. To me the physical is the easiest to get over but some experiences can be very traumatic to children.
I feel like they are off the chain because the parents are messed up. If you are hitting your child in the face, back, and upside the head, all of that is violence and you are teaching the child to solve problems with violence. The parents of these misbahaving children should put their children first and stop ignoring them. It’s the parents fault. Parents have to lead by example.
black lives should matter to black people.
The inmates don’t like child killers he well be getting “spanked” literally in no time.
Why? Just why God ??
All he had to do is post on shossa media that he didn’t want her and I would have given my daughter a lil sis .
RIP beautiful angel , she was gorgeous .
The sad part is, it’s been going on for 2 years. SMH
may she RIP. Dude…that’s your arse!
Very very strange. To say the least. I was thinking is he a pedophile. What man offers to babsitt two little girls. I didnt need another red flag. I was out of there.

As a mother I would MURDER that mofo and make him die a slow death if he hurt my baby girl let alone killed her! Thats soooo awful I cant even imagine.
Your suppose to be able to trust your baby father with the child you both have together, ugh this is so upsetting. RIP little angel.

Some people have no soul or remorse. Its a sign of the times, we living in the last days. I cant stand to hear my daughter cry for longer than a minute. You have to be a rotten empty soul to hurt, and worse kill, a child.
When I do decide to have children I’ll give them a time out, but there are some things that deserve a spanking. IE;stealing and a flip mouth. If it one thing I hate the most is flip disrespectful kids
lol no worries. I just know of men who have chosen to become ‘stay at home dad’s’ as well and don’t think they should be considered any less of a man because they opt to take care of their children and the household while the women works if everyone in the union is happy!
yeah… that just doesn’t compute at all and is super creepy. why would he want to babysit the kids if he is dating you… lol I bet your creep radar was like BEEPITY BEEP BEEP GIRL YOU IN DANGER [whoopi voice]
Jesus please return soon!
Makes me so ANGRY- a child really???
I’m speaking about them all I agree with married women I wouldn’t leave mine with anyone period I’m not a mother but if I was my child’s innocence would be protected at all cost
Right….he is pure evil no mental illness involved how could he betray his own baby like that??? Poor child didn’t have a chance
They’ll beat his butt in prison.
I totally agree. If it works for others more power to a stay at home dad. Its a blessing to have a man who can nurture the kids like a woman and b a stay at homedad.
Here is a little more information
DECATUR, IL – Man arraigned on on first-degree murder charges after beating his 4-year-old daughter to death with a belt.
On
August 31, 4-year-old Amarrah Reynolds was rushed to the hospital in an
unresponsive state and would be pronounced dead later that same day.
When
she was brought in, there were bruises and scars all over her body.
There were also “injuries to the inside of her thigh appear consistent
with severe pinch marks that punctured the flesh.”
According to charging documents
filed by the Macon County State’s Attorney’s Office, these injuries
were the result of “exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior indicative
of wanton cruelty” doled out by her father, 29-year-old Darrell
Reynolds.
When questioned by police, Reynolds stated he “just
killed his daughter” and admitted to police that he routinely beat the
girl with a belt for the last two years.
During this last beating, Reynolds said he used a belt to strike the
girl in the head body and legs so many times that he lost count.
Even
worse is the fact that this years long torture was witnessed by the
girl’s mother, 26-year-old Dalvon Taylor. She says she did not report
the abuse because Reynolds was also abusive to her as well.
“Dalvon
stated the abuse typically consisted of Darrell hitting Amarrah in the
face and torso, hitting her forcefully with a belt numerous times, which
caused welts to her arms, back, legs, and torso, severe pinching, and
grabbing the back of her neck and lifting her off the ground.”
Reynolds
was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He’s
facing a life sentence because the victim was younger than 12. Dalvon
was arrested and charged with one count of endangering the life or
health of a child and facing a possible 10 years in prison.Tags: Amarrah Reynolds, belt, Child Abuse, Crime, Dalvon Taylor, Darrel Reynolds, Domestic Violence, Illinois, Murder

Black people. Stop hitting toddlers and infants. Just stop it.
???Women stop having babies with these creatures that clearly do not want children. Lock the mother up too!
I popped my children’s hands when they were toddlers; however, this was not the automatic go-to for discipline. It was mainly reserved for when they meddled with something that could harm them. As they got older, spankings were issued out. But like I said, after the “talking to”, positive reinforcement, multiple restrictions and punishments did I do this. Sandra, I understand that too many use corporal punishment in the wrong way. But I have a 23 year old who thanks me and his dad for being consistent with consequences, which included spankings. With his own mouth he’s said that he understands that without the discipline he received he’d be in these streets wildin’. And he’s right.
I got whoopings although not many. Know why? Cuz I didn’t like them therefore I avoided doing things that I knew would get me whoopings. Spankings have to be administered with wisdom, first when you have called down. You never discipline a child when you’re angry. Second, everything isn’t an automatic beat down. However, a parent should recognize when all else is ineffective. Sometimes the child I’d due for a good spanking. But in the same breath, I say, when you see the spankings are ineffective – STOP.
Omg, he raped her as we’ll?!! Lord please, help us. I cannot take these stories. I can’t handle this!
What if I tell you the mother was also being beaten, and although she tried to get help she was not able to. What If i said she tried to leave, but leaving would have put her and all her kids at risk. What if she had already lost 1 baby at 4 months, and feared this man to the point she was to scared to leave. Now what If I said she is a sweet little girl who was lost in her own world. Now what if I said she was my cousin that I love very much. She was just with me a week before, seeking counseling and wanting to move with me to start over. Before you judge someone, know them. I know the newspaper makes everyone out to be monsters. But I know she was not. My heart hurts for her and her family. She was scared, in pain beyond what anyone could think, and was interview moments after without an attorney present. Words can easily be changed: Question: When was the first time you saw him hit the baby with a belt, Answer: IDK she was about 2 or so. News: She watched him beat that child over and over again for two years. See how words can change details.
Don’t believe everything you read.
Please share this story and make sure this b i s h pays for what she did.
Just when you think the story about Victoria Martens’ death couldn’t
any worse, it does. Turns out her mother regularly brought men over to
have sex with her 10-year-old daughter just so she could watch.
For those of you who may have missed the earlier story,
Victoria died hours before her birthday after her mother and two others
drugged her to have sex with her before the little girl was strangled,
stabbed, dismembered and set on fire.
The girl’s mother, Michelle
Martens, told officers that she and her boyfriend, 31-year-old Fabian
Gonzales, along with 31-year-old Jessica Kelley, gave Victoria meth
orally for her to swallow.
Martens admitted she watched Kelley
hold Victoria down while Gonzales raped and strangled her. Kelley then
stabbed her, and she and Gonzales dismembered her body and set her on
fire in the bathtub.
Now reports are saying that this was not the
first time Victoria had been raped. Michelle Martens admitted she had
allowed other men to come over and sexually assault her daughter. She
would find these men at work or on the Plenty of Fish website.
She admitted to police that she did not do this for money but because she got off on watching her daughter being raped.
Investigators
are now trying to identify these other men and are going through
electronic equipment seized from the apartment to see if she ever
videotaped or photographed the sexual assaults.
“In
my training and experience, those who are interested in the sexual
exploitation of children are also interested in exploiting images of children for sexual gratification,” an officer wrote in a search warrant.
Michelle
Martens, Fabian Gonzales; and Jessica Kelley are charged with
kidnapping, child abuse resulting in death, tampering with evidence,
conspiracy, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Kelley and
Gonzales are also charged with criminal sexual penetration of a minor.Tags: Crime, Drugs, Fabian Gonzales, Jessica Kelley, meth, Michelle Martens, Murder, New Mexico, Sexual Assault, Victoria Martens

I know I shouldn’t. I’m gonna try harder
That poor child suffered.
So, now can we all form a line & share a belt & beat him to death so he can experience exactly what this precious little child had to endure, because there’s a large group of us that would love to. A public service announcement to all of Satan’s spawn who cowardly beat children & women, to send a clear message that it won’t be tolerated. I can only hope that karma pays you a
