Wow. The report is really sad. She basically threw the child against the floor until he was unconscious and left him to dies in his bed while she slept. Capital Murder seems an appropriate charge.
What a bitch. You could tell she had zero regard for the child’s life. She’s looking a lot skinnier and wasted away since high school too. Judging by rumors about the father she’s probably been doing some meth as well. The father is known to beat his kids, guess she learned some tricks.
GOD BLESS DOMANIC, BUT GOD HELP AMY!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY. I KNOW BABY AND MOTHER PERSONLLY. AND THIS IS FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD A TRAGADY. AMY IS THE MOST CAREING WONDERFUL MOTHER. I LIVED ABOVE HER FOR A LITTLE UNDER A YEAR. SHE WAS NEVER SHORT WITH HER KIDS, SHE LOVED THEM WITH HER EVERY BEING, I OFTEN WISHED I WAS HALF THE MOTHER PAITENT MOTHER SHE WAS. SHE HAD NO ONE BUT THOSE CHILDREN AND HOW DARE THAT LITTLE GIRL STEEL THAT LITTLE BOYS LIFE AWAY LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! AMBER I HOPE YOU GET THE DEATH PENELTY BUT EVEN THAT IS TOO KIND FOR YOU AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO THAT BABY……… GOD WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a sad situation all around. The young girl I knew and was related to would not perform such an act against a child. :( I don’t know what to say in this case.
This is a tragic story of a little boy’s senseless death. He shouldn’t have been left in this skanks care to begin with! And where were this precious child’s mother and father when this was going on? They are ALL to blame.
I personally knew Brandon, Amber, all the kids, which includes Dominic and knew of the Amy. First I will start out by saying this is an absolute tragedy. Dominic was a wonderful child. Brandon was very abusive to Amy and Amber. Amber was controlled and beaten repeatedly. Both Amys kids had been living with Amber and Brandon for about 18 months. Amy only took the kids at times. I seen Amber interact with Dominic and she was good with him and she loved him. Amber is very sick and needs medical help not death. She finally snapped after all the abuse. That doesnt make it right, but that is what happened. One last comment to the one that said God will have the last laugh. I don’t know what religion you are, but God is not a vengeful God. As he says: ask me to come into your heart and be your saviour and have everlasting life, ask for forgiveness and you will be forgiven.
