US mum on trial for killing 2 years old daughter

Not another case of mother and stepdad killing own daughter. It's about 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers.

The blonde little girl's decomposed body was found stuffed in a plastic container in Galveston Bay in Texas after she had been brutally beaten.

Apparently, she has been lashed and dunked in water for not saying "please" to her stepdad. It's a total disregard of human life.

The toddler has tried to intervene her mother and stepdad lashing by telling her mother "I Love You", but they continued with their brutal lashing.

I can't comprehend why the mother still has the heart to beat her daughter, despite hearing the 3 magic words. But one area I realised - all of the mothers who commit these brutal acts are young single mothers.

My view is that perhaps govt should provide more counselling to better prepare young single mother for motherhood, should they choose to suppor the child themselves. My heart goes out to Riley deeply. May her soul find solace in heaven......
