    I just want to clarify the mothers role. She was with her daughter and this monster the whole time and when she allowed him to take Cherish to go to the McDonald’s with him , they were going to a McDonald’s inside the Walmart store itself. She made HUGE mistakes and I still believe that she owns a huge part of the responsibility for her daughters murder but I also believe that she knows this and won’t ever find peace while she still breathes.

      This evil beast prayed on the vulnerable, he makes me sick. Mom made glaring mistakes. Her financial vulnerability helped her into making the worst decisions in her life.
      The mom also seems somewhat, slow, which I think helped the situation to escalate.
      I do believe that she should not have her other children in her custody due to her inability to keep them safe 🙁
      Sadly, this mom paid the highest price for allowing her desperate need for money to over ride her natural instincts which were telling her this whole situation was not right.

      @Ryan Smith yep she sure did. She sold her daughter for a Walmart gift card that in the end she didn’t even receive I don’t think. I am not disputing that. And just because my perception is minimally different doesn’t mean I think that she’s a saint and completely naive about the danger she put her daughter in. She states very clearly that she had a gut feeling that this man was up to no good. She gambled with her daughters life hoping that he was sincere and that’s the difference I am commenting on. Yes it’s tit for tat but for me there is a difference between being extremely stupid, hoping to get something and blatantly handing over her daughter in a cash transaction. And this is only a discussion not a debate . It doesn’t change anything but it is a platform which gets people thinking and becoming aware of all that stupidity and evil that is everywhere these days.

Inadequate, weak and woolly-minded people become parents every day, prioritising their lives and their children all wrong. And predators prey on the weak, scenting blood a mile off just like a shark.
      This evil paedophile summed up that mother's weakness within seconds of watching her. And he moved in for the kill. Had she been a responsible parent, he would not have approached her. A good mother is a tigress around her kids, she radiates strength and woe betide any stranger who gets too close to them!

      I felt the exact same way. This mother kept saying how she knew something wasn't right before they even got in the van from how he snapped at her but still ignored that first red flag. I actually counted atleast 4 red flags that should have alerted her before she allowed her daughter to go with the same questionable stranger to the McDonald's located somewhere in the store but away from the mothers view.

    I think she was afraid to send cherish to California without clothes that were adequate due to the custody fight with cherish s father..

      Absolutely agree!
      Which is why when her boyfriend gave her $100 and said remember you need $60 for the trip to the airport tomorrow, she shouldn’t have spent thirty of the extra on cleaning supplies at the dollar store. She could have bought a couple outfits or sent some money along with Cherish towards her dad buying some clothes. Instead she did the worst at every point -spend all the money, still no clothes for Cherish, and keep them running around town with a suspicious man into the wee hours without any dinner when Cherish had an early flight in the morning.
      The father was going to win full custody eventually. He was married with stable housing and income. Rayne is the antithesis of stability with zero interest in changing.

    15:32 Maybe if you were doing your job as a father, she would still be here although why was this monster was on the streets when he had proven time and time again that he was a monster?

    Not to diminish the horror of what this man did but parents should have some common sense as well - Basic parenting 101. This to me is almost borderline child neglect. If a mother made that type of decision that would send most of us running (creep o meter) ... what other bad calls is she making at home. Allowing him to take her daughter to change room?! Allowing a complete stranger (when you yourself said you had suspicion?, take your daughter for food? There is no victimization of the mother and manipulation (as the woman (judge) in video states). There will always be sick people amongst us but it’s up to the parents to protect from these individuals when possible. If you want to accept the mans money and gifts in desperation ; you keep your child by the side.

    The mother isnt a victim, stop trying to justify her allowing this to happen.
