I mean, she should’ve been supervising her child. She knew the dangers of leaving that child outside by herself. This little girl has gone to be with the Lord, but when will the adults learn?
@@agataneumann9980 No she did not make the right decision and it cost her greatly, more than any of us would know. Idk how old the little girls brother was, but clearly she felt the son was able to keep an eye on her. Jail will not change the fact of what happened nor do she deserve to be in a physical jail. Trust and believe she’ll live there for the rest of her life mentally & emotionally. If authorities felt she was responsible she would be behind bars.
@@agataneumann9980She wasn't with the mother. The mother was at work. She was with the mother's cousin. The cousin is at fault with her trifling self!
😢 A child was kidnapped and murdered, why are we here to blame.??? No officer or anyone else blamed this mother. We weren't there. So we don't know how the comfort zone was before she was missing ( the mother states she felt comfortable) This story made such a beautiful impact that it brought a community closer. Those people were monsters who would have done that to anyone child. Condolences 💐🙏
The policeman said "the young lady"3years old,is a baby,not a "young lady".That monster who took that baby should is one sick sob😢Sorry for your loss mom.😢
This broke my heart. That sweet little baby being taken from her family by those monsters, then being found in the garbage. I'll never, never understand how anyone can harm an innocent child. And the mom blaming herself ..... I just want to give her the biggest hug. Prayers for her and her family. Rest in peace, Cupcake. Fly high little angel 😭💜💔🙏
I remember when the police had the video going live the one day when they went to the house looking for her and she wasn't there and my heart dropped 😢.
Sad case...my son almost 3 I can't even imagine life without him...this is why I always always always outside with him and his big sisters while they outside. Just not safe idc what neighborhood we in.im even keeping my eye on kids who's not mine.
Exactly. I always tell the ones that I babysit. You aren't going anywhere and I always video taping everything they do because you never know what can happen. This world is horrible this generations that are coming after us are getting worse
Being that in from Birmingham.. and my sister used to live in those projects... This ROCKED the city to it's core!! That precious baby! 💜 We love you Cupcake 🧁 💜
True and those people that live in the projects need to get off their lazy behinds anf better themselves because of that this things happened. They have nothing good to do but pray in the innocent is not the government fault but the persons that need to want to get better.
@@claudiafuentes1468just because they live there, doesn't mean they're not good ppl! 🙄Who died and made you God? To judge everyone living in an apartment complex! You're a HUGE PART OF TODAY'S ISSUES, in THIS EVIL WORLD!!💯💯
@@aricharichie4976 But every parent slips up sometimes. The mother got too comfortable of the area and since everybody knew each other it was considered a safe place for her. Growing up most people were raised playing outside while their parents were inside the house doing something else, it was just that normal. Now you can't do that, but you also cannot blame her for having that mindset of going on what SHE grew up on to raise her child that way too.
@@aricharichie4976she was at work trusted her cousin to watch her baby she let the baby go outside by herself and she got snatched so you think the mother is at fault !

@@tevinthelifestyleguy2570 I don't know her but I always look up missing people and I saw the video and I think it's BS that the law enforcement can't do anything for her family like get up off their butts and question the suspect. There are pictures of him on Facebook and his name. He knows where she is
Cupcake stole my heart the first time I saw a photo of her. I live about 45 minutes from Birmingham, and this consumed me. When the news came on that they found her…… first time I’ve ever punched through drywall. I cannot fathom the pain her family still endures. I never met Cupcake, but love and care for her. Still covering the family in prayers. Very traumatic, I just can’t imagine the family’s grief. May God continue to comfort them.
Oh Mama, it's not your fault. Babies should be safe wherever they play. The blame lies with these demons that hide amoung us. RIP beautiful, innocent Cupcake.
Girl this is def her fault. The whole situation was suspect. How do you just drop your baby at a party and not even let anyone know she was there. How could anyone watch for her not knowing she was around in the first place. No way in hell I’m leaving a 3 year old at a party by herself especially in that neighborhood. Get a grip
Dear Momma, it's not your fault. The fault is entirely on those perverts. RIP Cupcake. You touched a lot of lives, all over the world. May you rest in peace.
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood. I won't let my great grandchildren outside without an adult even though the oldest is 7. Not blaming the mother but in these times you cannot let children out by themselves anytime.
I’m not gonna say you can’t let them be outside alone anymore…but I find that parents don’t parent like they used to anymore all the kids born prior to the late 90’s had it drilled in our heads (especially black children) DONT TALK TO STRANGERS, DONT go to cars, if a stranger tries to talk to you run/yell. I can remember my mom being that way with me as early as 3 and I was always with someone 5+ years older than me
I remember this story I live a hr and a half from Birmingham..I watched the whole story and lives when she had went missing..Some dudes even harassed the father out in public cause they thought he had something to do with her death
This is so heartbreaking. Our kids aren’t safe anywhere & that’s so scary. RIH beautiful cupcake. Sending my condolences to the family because I know they still need it.
Such a beautiful baby. My heart goes out to her parents and family. I can't imagine how hard it is for them. My eldest child was kidnapped from a local grocery store in early 2000. He was 4 years old. I was at work at the time, he was with a sitter. Fortunately he was found safe 19 hours later with a man I didn't know, the man's mother saw his photo on TV and called the police. My son swears that the man didn't do anything to him but he gets angry if I ask him about it so I'm not sure what to believe. But I can still remember the fear that I felt that day all these years later. It changes you to see officers digging through trash for your child. When I saw that I about lost my mind. Hell is too good for monsters that can harm a child.
Omg this is so heavy. I am glad to read your son was found alive! I hope eventually he will find a way of therapy to manage what happend and if SA did happend May God bless you! 🙏🏿
@@ashleyritchie5749 I know you mean well by saying Cupcake is ‘in a better place’, but to be honest, she’s not, how can she be, when her ‘better place’ is wrapped in the arms of her loving Momma, where she is supposed to be. She is safe with God, and truly loved, but I don’t believe it’s better, just different. No parent should ever feel the loss of their child, let alone the loss of their baby at the hands of pure evil 😈 beyond heartbreaking
I love this channel and look forward to the new releases. Excellent reporting!! This story was beyond SAD! Hoping Cupcake's memory never dies. Sending warm and fuzzy prayers to her momma! God bless her. I cannot imagine her pain. I wish ya'll would cover the Rachel Cooke story. She disappeared in Georgetown, TX in January of 2002. I had just had my son after she disappeared and was trying to get baby weight off. I remember being too scared to go for a run after she just vanished off the face of the earth. I read somewhere that her daddy passed away. He never had any closure. My son is 23 yrs old now. That's how long Rachel's mom has gone without any answers. Her name is Janet, I think. Pray for her. She is a stranger to me, but is worthy and deserves answers. Please consider covering her disappearance. Keep it ALIVE!!
Omg i remember this as it was happening in real time😢😢and that day they finally found her omg the whole south was in shock ,was angry, sad & wanted justice..i even remember after she was found and when those 2 monsters went to court smh this was the worst..i will never forget cupcake💜💜
I live near Birmingham and this was the one time the entire state put aside our differences and came together to find that sweet baby. I wish the outcome would have been different. 💜
People keep asking “how she leave cupcake outside”? well growing up that was normal especially in government housing we use to play outside all the time and didn’t use to have to worry about anything because it was always a crowd outside and kids playing BUT THIS IS NOT BACK IN THE DAY and you can’t do that anymore her mom got too comfortable and was familiar with the area so sad I was heart broken when this happened
During the time this baby went missing there was so much going on with children. This child's mother was not being protective of her children. There were others who said she always left her children outside by themselves. I'm sorry but she failed this little girl.
She was not be herself, what part of this story you did not listen to, she was outside with her cousins, the man came and snatch the little girl. This could have happened with her mother standing right there looking.
Child predators are so bold and sick you almost have to keep your child right next to your side. It's so scary. The mom could have made different choices but these predators would have just found another child to abuse and murder.
This is just why we all have to watch our children anyway we go and if we let our kids go out side and it is not safe for them to leave them alone and we all have to stay out there with them and if we go in side please y'all take them with you all.
What happened to mom dropping kids off at a birthday party in the projects. Even lady at the party said mom was not there. Now mom's story is changing 🤔
I remember that being said. The story was that the mom dropped her off at a birthday party and left. It was soul crushing to watch and wait. Such a beautiful child…
@Sunshine-vo8kj Right! I'm sitting here like I remember this story. I followed it and this story is wayyy different from wat I remember. The mama dropped her off at the cousin house. Mom wasn't even there. They said she was at a game or something. It's some lying go on now as well as back then too. The cousin wasn't watching them kids like she should have.
The story was that her kids wandered over to a birthday party that they weren't even invited to when the baby was taken. Even the lady whose child patty it was said that she always saw cupcake and her brother wandering around the apartments. The mother's story is changing. She wasn't watching her children and they weren't in tbe front yard. I'm not judging the mother but we have to watch our children and not put the responsibility on their siblings who are children as well
Her damn brother was with her . Hes atleast 9 cmon the front yard with cousins and brothers ? We gotta stop saying this . The problem is the perverts not the children
@@RicheeBeyou’re not serious. No child should be responsible for watching another child. On top of that the mother did not let the adults know she was even there. The mother left her outside with the other children. Every child’s mentality is different so to leave them with a 9 year old is completely irresponsible.
@@RicheeBeit's simply not safe cause she could also run into the street at the wrong time and get hit by a car or get attacked by a dog or fall into a construction hole...so many reasons not to leave children unattended outside. And if a parent does, then they simply just don't give a da*n
She said why she did it and I understand cause a lot of yall like to talk about this generation soft compared to what yall experienced. This is a prime example that everything big mama did back then wasn’t right
I remember I was obsessed with this case all the way from Chicago I wanted to help find Cupcake. Smh so sad how they did her. Sleep peacefully pretty angel
Kids shouldn’t watch kids. Kids get distracted kids don’t think their is bad in this world. Adults need to be present always. Even older kids, they are soo occupied in their phones, they can’t watch kids good. And nor should they have to as parents it is our responsibility. I’m not blaming she has to live with this for the rest of her life and I’m soo very sorry. But please watch your kids better this world is a scary place. RIP sweet baby girl 🧁
But that’s just not fair . Kids should be able to be kids and play . 20 mins in the front yard with your brother and cousins ? Wtf ! Nah stop this rhetoric! Nasty azz mothers with pervert boyfriends shouldn’t be stalking hunting kids . Stop saying kids shouldn’t be kids !
Agreed. Accidents only happen when you are willing to take chances. Children are not responsible enough to mind themselves let alone babies. RIP sweet little angel. ❤
Just in tears right now. I hurt so much for her family especially. Will never forget cupcake n her sweetness. Much prayers from my heart to you all. 😢🙏🏻
Her beautiful little smile just lights up everything! I will Never understand how people like those 😈s exist among us! Rest in Paradise Cupcake, and may God strengthen your parents and family.....😢❤️🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
She wasn't outside by herself she was playing with her cousin. They said the people had asked both girls if they wanted candy. They were able to coach her into the car . The only people that need to be blamed for this are the people who killed her . Don't blame the mom , it can happen for anyone.
She was at a relatives house she wasn't alone there were other kids outside. Those two pervs also went to a school and tried to kidnap an older girl so is the school at fault too?
My mother was sargent at arms...my sibling and i could not per alone if we were 3 or 8....she was always there! Watching! Thank you God for this wonderful Mother
And letting children watch over children is no protection. A full-grown male can easily overpower a preteen. No judgment. Just sadness that children are not even safe in their own yards. Predators everywhere 💔
Who else has blame also, the person who left a toddler outside and drove off. We unfortunately don’t live in a world where evil doesn’t exist and this is the main reason why we tend to our babies , never leave them outside alone. It doesn’t matter if you knew most of the people outside..
@ she left her and drove off.. she felt comfortable enough that she knew everyone there to do so. AND AGAIN WHO LEAVES A TODDLER OUTSIDE AND DRIVE OFF… no one is perfect. Parents make mistakes and unfortunately this mistake took her bábies life…
I live in Memphis, Tennessee and I followed this story daily. I cried like she was my child. I prayed for a safe return….#ButGod…..#RestInLoveCupcake…..💔🧁🩷💜🩷🧁💔
I'm from Birmingham too and used to hang out there as my aunt lived in Montebello gardens. I left walked out of court one day in October of 2007, walked to Greyhound, bought a one way ticket to NYC and NEVER looked back
This was so sad this is my worst fear as mother! May god wrap his arms around this family! Provide them strength and wisdom and the knowledge to accept the things they can’t change Lord in Jesus name Amen
She was so adorable.... this little Angel from Heaven didn't deserve this... 2022 is when her life was tragically taken.... the family will never be the same... keep the family in ur prayers... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Kamille's a beautiful little girl who should have had the opportunity to grow up and live her life. 🧁🧡🧸Balloons don't go to heaven. They fall back to earth, choke animals, and litter the land and seas. Remember loved ones in ways that are respectful to the environment. 🌍
A community coming together To lookout for All the kids! That should be the model for All neighborhoods! I'd stand on the corner in my community and watch that kids, no matter the age or race could walk down to the store for their mom if they had too! Children are the responsibility of All of us!!!
I’m sitting here looking at my 6 month old beautiful brown baby with also the biggest brown eyes wondering how just how the mother was able to make it though such a tragedy I don’t think I ever would recover and I just feel so much for her. I just don’t know how she made it through..that seems like something I would never ever be able to get over.. My heart goes out to her and her family. These babies when they’re born..they’re ANGELS. The enemy tries so hard to harm and hurt the most innocent precious lives..it’s just SICK.
You did really well with this case. April would be proud to seeing this and reading the heartwarming comments. This was very detrimental to everyone that knew April and her kids and those who didn't know her.
This touched my heart and I am praying for the family and Birmingham. What a tragedy...Cupcake was an innocent child. This truly brought tears to my eyes. Rest in Heaven sweet Cupcake!! 💔
My three daughters are 30, 22 and 5. I have never put them outside to play by themselves.i always hover and scary about everything concerning them. Especially in these times. I remember this story when it first happened. Beautiful little girl. It's sad. I just pray that everyone who loved her found a little peace.
People please stop leaving small children unattended...stop!Yes blame the monster but or Gods sake stop making it easier for themThese programs need to ad that advice,and save lives with these mistakes.
So you shower and sleep with your children???? Kids have been kidnapped while the parent was in the shower and sleeping a guy in nyc just snatched a kid right out his dad hands
I’m sorry but who lets a 3 year old play in the front yard all alone. Even if she didn’t get kidnapped she could’ve gotten run over by running into the street after a ball or something. This is ridiculous. It sucks that Cupcake had to suffer because of her mother’s negligence
I'm so sick of these evil people killing our kids, prayers for the family.im so sorry for your loss and made God comfort you on this journey
And people ask why I chose not to have kids?!!!!! Because of crP like this. I’m terrified!
Amen 🙏 so sad 😞

People keep asking “how she leave cupcake outside”? well growing up that was normal especially in government housing we use to play outside all the time and didn’t use to have to worry about anything because it was always a crowd outside and kids playing BUT THIS IS NOT BACK IN THE DAY and you can’t do that anymore her mom got too comfortable and was familiar with the area so sad I was heart broken when this happened
I grew up back in 80's and 90's. Yes back then other kids was outside playing. But nowadays these kids in thr house playing video games
During the time this baby went missing there was so much going on with children. This child's mother was not being protective of her children. There were others who said she always left her children outside by themselves. I'm sorry but she failed this little girl.
Not at 3
Oh my heart. Mumma and Daddy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your gorgeous little Cupcake.
You don't leave a Three year old outside by herself
you don't kidnap and murder a 3 year old girl
Blaming a victim? Shame on you.
In this day and age, an adult should always have eyes on the kids
She was not be herself, what part of this story you did not listen to, she was outside with her cousins, the man came and snatch the little girl. This could have happened with her mother standing right there looking.
Child predators are so bold and sick you almost have to keep your child right next to your side. It's so scary. The mom could have made different choices but these predators would have just found another child to abuse and murder.
This is just why we all have to watch our children anyway we go and if we let our kids go out side and it is not safe for them to leave them alone and we all have to stay out there with them and if we go in side please y'all take them with you all.
What happened to mom dropping kids off at a birthday party in the projects. Even lady at the party said mom was not there. Now mom's story is changing 🤔
Wich woman?
right!!
I remember that being said. The story was that the mom dropped her off at a birthday party and left. It was soul crushing to watch and wait. Such a beautiful child…
@Sunshine-vo8kj
Right! I'm sitting here like I remember this story. I followed it and this story is wayyy different from wat I remember. The mama dropped her off at the cousin house. Mom wasn't even there. They said she was at a game or something. It's some lying go on now as well as back then too. The cousin wasn't watching them kids like she should have.
The story was that her kids wandered over to a birthday party that they weren't even invited to when the baby was taken. Even the lady whose child patty it was said that she always saw cupcake and her brother wandering around the apartments. The mother's story is changing. She wasn't watching her children and they weren't in tbe front yard. I'm not judging the mother but we have to watch our children and not put the responsibility on their siblings who are children as well
Some things you wish never happened. It is like a nightmare. May the Lord have Mercy.
Never ever leave a 3 year old unattended especially outside
AMEN
Her damn brother was with her . Hes atleast 9 cmon the front yard with cousins and brothers ? We gotta stop saying this . The problem is the perverts not the children
@@RicheeBeyou’re not serious. No child should be responsible for watching another child. On top of that the mother did not let the adults know she was even there. The mother left her outside with the other children. Every child’s mentality is different so to leave them with a 9 year old is completely irresponsible.
@@RicheeBeit's simply not safe cause she could also run into the street at the wrong time and get hit by a car or get attacked by a dog or fall into a construction hole...so many reasons not to leave children unattended outside. And if a parent does, then they simply just don't give a da*n
She said why she did it and I understand cause a lot of yall like to talk about this generation soft compared to what yall experienced. This is a prime example that everything big mama did back then wasn’t right
Cupcake you will never be forgotten.Everytime I see a cupcake I will think of you.PeaceandLove.❤ North Philly grandma ❤
I remember I was obsessed with this case all the way from
Chicago I wanted to help find Cupcake. Smh so sad how they did her. Sleep peacefully pretty angel
Kids shouldn’t watch kids. Kids get distracted kids don’t think their is bad in this world. Adults need to be present always. Even older kids, they are soo occupied in their phones, they can’t watch kids good. And nor should they have to as parents it is our responsibility. I’m not blaming she has to live with this for the rest of her life and I’m soo very sorry. But please watch your kids better this world is a scary place. RIP sweet baby girl 🧁
But that’s just not fair . Kids should be able to be kids and play . 20 mins in the front yard with your brother and cousins ? Wtf ! Nah stop this rhetoric! Nasty azz mothers with pervert boyfriends shouldn’t be stalking hunting kids . Stop saying kids shouldn’t be kids !
@ yeah agreed but that’s if we lived in a perfect world we don’t. So we can say “should” all we want but that’s not reality.
it was her mother fault period, her mum was being lazy and should have been out ther watching her kid frfr smh RIP Cupcake
Agreed.
Accidents only happen when you are willing to take chances.
Children are not responsible enough to mind themselves let alone babies.
RIP sweet little angel.
❤
So sorry to hear this. May she rest in peace😢
Cupcake is the cutest little nickname I cannot 🥺 prayers to the family !
Just in tears right now. I hurt so much for her family especially. Will never forget cupcake n her sweetness. Much prayers from my heart to you all. 😢🙏🏻
Her beautiful little smile just lights up everything! I will Never understand how people like those 😈s exist among us! Rest in Paradise Cupcake, and may God strengthen your parents and family.....😢❤️🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
I'll never forget precious little Cupcake 🧁 McKinney. Her story broke my heart in pieces. God bless Ms. April forever and always 💖
But you can’t leave any child outside by themself especially a baby
Not needed you don’t think they know that…. Please stfu
She wasn't outside by herself she was playing with her cousin. They said the people had asked both girls if they wanted candy. They were able to coach her into the car . The only people that need to be blamed for this are the people who killed her . Don't blame the mom , it can happen for anyone.
She was at a relatives house she wasn't alone there were other kids outside. Those two pervs also went to a school and tried to kidnap an older girl so is the school at fault too?
Not with another child with an adult
Sorry when I grew up were outside at this age without a problems because we stayed in groups . Now kids don’t know to be outside by themselves
Beautiful baby gone way too soon a smile so priceless I pray for the mothers strength because I am a mother and couldn’t imagine the pain
I just want to know why did they do it?? SERIOUSLY 😢
There predators!
There is absolutely No excuse
Evil
Pedophiles
Because they are evil and depraved
So sad, my question is why? We never get that answer, may you both rot in jail.....S.I.H Cupcake 🙏🏼❤️
RIP precious baby girl ❤
Whew lord this world is so evil praying for the continued peace of this family
My mother was sargent at arms...my sibling and i could not per alone if we were 3 or 8....she was always there! Watching! Thank you God for this wonderful Mother
IN THE NAME OF JESUS 🙏 CHRIST 🙏 LORD FATHER BLESS THIS FAMILY 🙏
Just heartbreaking. What a precious beautiful child.
20-30 minutes is too long to not lay eyes on your 3 year old who’s outside
Yes I remember when this happened and I’m so sorry for your loss RIH beautiful baby girl Cupcake!!! 😢😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️😇
Sweet baby girl.. praying for momma and family. So so sorry this world is so evil.....
I remember this case so well it is one of the first cases I followed as it happened...what a beautiful little life.
Years later I’m still crying… I remember EVERYTHING… and I mean EVERYTHING 😢😢😢
Heartbreaking 💔 may little cupcake rest in peace and her family find some comfort in knowing that her memory will live on ❤
My baby girl will be three in 3 short months. This story still haunts me. That sweet baby deserved better.
Stop leaving your children alone anywhere at anytime
And letting children watch over children is no protection. A full-grown male can easily overpower a preteen. No judgment. Just sadness that children are not even safe in their own yards. Predators everywhere 💔
PLEASE PEOPLE/ STOP IT/DON'T TRUST ANYONE
She was the mom and she should have recognized the evil in this world. Keep your babies closer to you. Because predators are closer than you think.
@@jessicawatson2653 🙄 Please quit blaming the victim.
The only one to blame is the perp.
The only one who did something wrong was the kidnapper.
Tell white woman that as well
This hurt everybody, we all prayed and cried over Cupcake !!! ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Absolutely gorgeous baby.🙏🏻❤️🌺God bless her in eternal heaven. So unfair she never had a chance to live & grow up😢
She was gorgeous! Beautiful eyes
Who else has blame also, the person who left a toddler outside and drove off. We unfortunately don’t live in a world where evil doesn’t exist and this is the main reason why we tend to our babies , never leave them outside alone. It doesn’t matter if you knew most of the people outside..
I thought I had wrong!
She didn't leave her and drive off. The baby was outside playing. Please don't beat yourself up.
@ she left her and drove off.. she felt comfortable enough that she knew everyone there to do so. AND AGAIN WHO LEAVES A TODDLER OUTSIDE AND DRIVE OFF… no one is perfect. Parents make mistakes and unfortunately this mistake took her bábies life…
@@VirginiaTensleyshe did drop her off at that birthday party. This video left details out.
@devinesent7696
The lady at the birthday party didn't even know cupcake. She was trying to figure out who the child belonged to.
I live in Memphis, Tennessee and I followed this story daily. I cried like she was my child. I prayed for a safe return….#ButGod…..#RestInLoveCupcake…..💔🧁🩷💜🩷🧁💔
I'm from Birmingham too and used to hang out there as my aunt lived in Montebello gardens. I left walked out of court one day in October of 2007, walked to Greyhound, bought a one way ticket to NYC and NEVER looked back
God Bless you Mama and Papa,my heart is with you.
Never leave your kids unattended
NEVER NEVER
Tell karen not to. Plenty of them dead because they weren't watched for a minute. Duh
@vickiekennedy2984 What are you talking about?
Especially with a black man.
This was so sad this is my worst fear as mother! May god wrap his arms around this family! Provide them strength and wisdom and the knowledge to accept the things they can’t change Lord in Jesus name Amen
This case still weighs heavy on my heart !!!
She was so adorable.... this little Angel from Heaven didn't deserve this... 2022 is when her life was tragically taken.... the family will never be the same... keep the family in ur prayers... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Kamille's a beautiful little girl who should have had the opportunity to grow up and live her life. 🧁🧡🧸Balloons don't go to heaven. They fall back to earth, choke animals, and litter the land and seas. Remember loved ones in ways that are respectful to the environment. 🌍
A community coming together
To lookout for All the kids! That should be the model for All neighborhoods! I'd stand on the corner in my community and watch that kids, no matter the age or race could walk down to the store for their mom if they had too! Children are the responsibility of All of us!!!
Im in alabama and the whole state was devastated when this happened 😢 they really showed support for this baby!
I’m sitting here looking at my 6 month old beautiful brown baby with also the biggest brown eyes wondering how just how the mother was able to make it though such a tragedy I don’t think I ever would recover and I just feel so much for her. I just don’t know how she made it through..that seems like something I would never ever be able to get over.. My heart goes out to her and her family. These babies when they’re born..they’re ANGELS. The enemy tries so hard to harm and hurt the most innocent precious lives..it’s just SICK.
3:48 she 2 who leaves a 2 year old alone playing with any kids. I would never not even my 11 year old
What a beautiful little girl. Bless this baby and her family. Prayers for you ❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
I cannot imagine the loss and hurt.
You did really well with this case. April would be proud to seeing this and reading the heartwarming comments. This was very detrimental to everyone that knew April and her kids and those who didn't know her.
Who hurts such a beutiful baby😭😭😭
Who hurts any baby??? 😞😭.. evil monsters 😡
I’m sooo sorry for your loss and your pain. Your baby was absolutely beautiful and will forever be loved and remembered. ❤xoxo
This touched my heart and I am praying for the family and Birmingham. What a tragedy...Cupcake was an innocent child. This truly brought tears to my eyes. Rest in Heaven sweet Cupcake!! 💔
What a darling child and that is a very cute name. God bless her loved ones and my upmost respect to her mother for getting up every day.
Always watch and protect your kids. Never let your guard down, EVER!!!
you right Carmen Thorpe 6243 this world is so evil now
🙏🏾💞😢
My three daughters are 30, 22 and 5. I have never put them outside to play by themselves.i always hover and scary about everything concerning them. Especially in these times. I remember this story when it first happened. Beautiful little girl. It's sad. I just pray that everyone who loved her found a little peace.
Jesus what a nightmare. My heart breaks.
I remember this! We are in lower Alabama and this is and was heart breaking!!
But why? Why this child ? Why this family? Alot of unanswered questions
Exactly
I remember this story year's ago. It broke my heart when they found her. I cried like a baby that morning before went to work. RIP cupcake.
People please stop leaving small children unattended...stop!Yes blame the monster but or Gods sake stop making it easier for themThese programs need to ad that advice,and save lives with these mistakes.
So you shower and sleep with your children???? Kids have been kidnapped while the parent was in the shower and sleeping a guy in nyc just snatched a kid right out his dad hands
I’m sorry but who lets a 3 year old play in the front yard all alone. Even if she didn’t get kidnapped she could’ve gotten run over by running into the street after a ball or something. This is ridiculous. It sucks that Cupcake had to suffer because of her mother’s negligence
Yeah, I agree. There is too much going on to allow such lax “parenting.”
@@marriejames01Agree.
Yea 3 years old is too young to be outside alone…
Huh?? Baby was by herself? 😮
@@soglamorus.harvey I think she was out there with other kids but no adults…she’s still to young to be left anywhere without adult supervision
I remember watching this coverage all the way in Texas. We all prayed that they find Kamille “cupcake” alive. We were all devastated.
I can't believe it took them that long to even think to search the dumpster of the residents.
10:34 a three year old is in no way a "young lady". Three year olds are babies. Words matter
Yes! And I’m tired of having to tell people this!
This why if I had any kids I would watch them all the time
In the shower and while your sleep too? Children have been kidnapped while the parent was in the shower and sleeping so don't judge
