This is what Capital Punishment is for.
Bless the great state of Texas
Correct.
So many more DESERVE DEATH ,BUT they don't get it. Ths man deserved it,but so many more have deserved it also but didn't get it!! Therfore,I feel the death penalty is not given fairly.!!
Agree 👏💯
Actually debated against the death penalty in my primary education, tho today, if you hurt children women &/or defenseless ppl., I feel you don't deserve ur life.
What will it take for mothers never to allow their stray dog men into their homes with their children?
It will take the biological fathers of those children to stay in the home and marry the women that they impregnate.
The biological father can be a freak to. Happens often.
@@ashasun6620 talk about that treacherous dogs.
Exactly. He had a history of MENTAL ILLNESS.
@@Rice10120 Doesn't always work that way. The mother takes the fault. The father didn't choose the guy, she did
If you think evil doesn't exist then here you go....that's the face of a Evil man ... Rip little one 🙏
not a single person said it didnt exist.
My heart breaks for any parent going though the tragic death of a child. I understand what this man did, I think it's amazing he is able to forgive. My prayers are with this man and I hope his time goes fast. I admire him speaking out on domestic violence and how it affected his life. I will pray for him and his family.
I don’t forgive people who hurt children under any conditions and their rightful place is in prison or hell
Period🎯
Millstone around the neck, like it says in the Bible.
1000%
I’m not sure why he’s saying it does he think it sounds good to say! I’m I would never forgive anyone who harmed my child.
Kris is tan because she is from Nicuruagua.
The sentence should have been carried out one week after conviction. The taxpayers have been punished for 13 years.
Agreed. Though do they take a long time just to make sure they have the right person? On the chance that the person might have been wrongly imprisoned?? 🤔
@@Lolybelle009 it's all the appeals, it is a delaying tactic.
I agree.
The same day, street justice for that demon
Agree
That man is so profound. To say he forgives him is such a tearful thing to hear. Man with high belief
A man who understands that he too is a sinner who's debts of sin were forgiven 🤗
*whose (smh)
@@feels.9304 No. Thats dumb. Don’t put him on that level.
Someone needs to search your basement
I dont know how someone can forgive anything like this, its beyond me!!!!
Lol..Christianity sucks
It’s his choice . Emotional intelligence. We all can choose how we handle emotions. And as a follower of Christ it’s mandated. As in any other practice of religion you choose to follow it or not.
That bs Christian religion is what allows for complete subservience
Aside from his faith, Bbeing angry will kill you. Thinking negative and horrible thoughts causes stress. He forgiving him for himself and probably health purposes. It’s really not healthy .
It takes a strong God fearing person…They’re mindsets are very different and powerful…I understand your comment however I can’t wait to have that experience with my own mind…It’s everything in my eyes!Hate won’t change the situation…
A toxic man who was unable to deal with rejection.
That's the reason most w0men are murd@red, smdh.
Sounds about right. Some people are just selfish. RIP
My condolences to this Dad on the murder of his daughter and her mother 🙏🏾.
why do they decide these
😰😭
it is too sad
Women life choices out daughter life in danger 😡
How does he become important here? He only impregmated her ,he never carried the pregnancy..he never b1rthed anyone ..there's nothing called as da.d ...he's probably busy abus1ng someone's kid somewhere and he'll get to blame the biological m0thr for "allowing him" to do it
They only fight for their status quo as if "biological" f4thers carry and deliver them ..they only engage in having seksual relations with the womcn and there's nothing special about them
"Biological" f4thers have also committed the same crimes..its just a mayle being a mayle ...their privilege is that they get to paint their g3nder as a victim when it's their own g3nder that's tr4sh
There is nothing called as personal accountability for mayles ...they'll show who they are whenever they get a chance and blame everyone else for "trusting them" or allowing them near kids ....all of them are the same
Hopefully his execution will determine other would be murderers to think twice before committing such heinous crimes. They don't even deserve a defense attorney. But not to worry - the boys in the big house will be waiting for them.
Amen
Bring back capital punishment throughout the country.
We have to normalize blaming the offenders and not the victims 💔💔💔💔💔
Both can be true at the same time. Many of these women knew that these men were bad people, and still allowed them into their lives.
We used to blame the offender until the SJ w's stood up and started celebrating and standing up for criminals
It's not both that step father was married to her no jail or prison time ever. How would she know he would kill her and her daughter? Y'all blaming the people killed never the killer.
Blaming the offender was normal up until a few years ago.
@@widlandesenatus5173 obviously, we are speaking in generalizations not on this specific case🙄
Natural fathers, please marry that woman and take care of your kids in your own house. Please.
Bio fathers are family anhilators too .Chris Watts , Peterson a new family anhilator father in the news everyday .
They don't be ish either
Seems like no one is blaming the mother for bringing this evil into her and her children's life. Yeah let's blame the father because he didn't want to be with the mother.
@@serenesrn3827don’t forget Chris Benoit
Unfortunately that don’t happen often most people don’t think marriage is that important even they married it don’t last long their gonna be divorce latter
May the Mother and her daughter rest in peace and my condolences to their family
I grew up in a dysfunctional household/neighborhood. Only now, as I near 50, do I realize just how lucky I was to reach adulthood alive and pretty much emotionally unscathed. Kids are a pervy older family member, a psychotic boyfriend/girlfriend/stepparent, or a sick neighbor away from not making it. It's a crapshoot.
My father was a bad person. Kids have no way to get out of that situation. My brother ran away at 16 and never went back there.
They should clarify that the man in the thumbnail is the biological father - not the man who murdered her!
You would have be simple headed not to realise that the man talking is not the child’s father and most be the perpetrator 🤔
Amen
He doesn't deserve to be called "biological father".
he deserves what's coming to him. He needs to go! Im guessing this isn't his first time that he committed murder. There's people in this world that may not be as nice as they seem. My first husband wasn't as nice as i thought when I first met him. He abused me for 3 years, tried to kill me twice i divorced him and i moved out of the apartment, moved on with my life. My condolences goes to this little girl and her mother's family and friends.
It doesn’t sound bad actually, it sounds really good and it made my night. I am up on the internet because I can’t sleep. I will be sleeping as peacefully tonight knowing this man will have not ANOTHER victim in this lifetime 🙏🏾✌🏾adios buddy🤷🏾♀️‼️
It doesn’t sound bad at all, y’all weak minded
He gets the easy way out.
This monster DESERVES to rot in hell. I’m glad he’s being put down.
@yallsofake9344 easy way out is going straight to hell
I remember being a teen hearing this story and it's still as tragic hearing it as a mother and a adult now smh .
That's why as a single dad 👨 🙂, I decided to fight for custody of my only daughter so I wouldn't find myself in this situation and looking for vengeance on everything
I will agreed 💯 percent with you too on this one.I had to do that for my only daughter, and I never got custody of the child.Because the judge state if she was a boy child she would have given her to me.I tried not to go down the wrong road, and eventually not seeing her, so I let it go.Because he hath said vengeance is mine.
Forgiven? No way. Imagine the pain that this guy has brought for these families and friends? No Mercy for him!
When you hurt any kid you don’t deserve Marcy
You don't understand forgiveness... Forgiveness is for the forgiver not the one being forgiven...
I would never forgive anyone who murdered my child. To each his own. If the man can forgive, then I am happy for him. However, forgiveness would not be in my vocabulary under these circumstances.
@@nogooddeedgoesunpunishedng3814 That's because you don't understand forgiveness
@@spoonypoon7998 I understand forgiveness, but that is just not for me. It doesn't make me less or more of a person because I am not a big supporter of forgiveness. I am at peace with myself; however, I admit I am not a forgiving person and that is my choice.
Condolences to the families affected by this
What an Honorable Man, and may his Daughter and her Mother rest in Peace ❤
The mother and daughter look soo sweet just devastating 😢 💔
14 years to get rid of him ?! What a joke!
Best news I've heard all week. We need more swift justice like this.
Anyone that's against the death penalty, doesn't understand what justice for these two vulnerable females means.
What matters is HE DID IT.
He's the ONE WHO DID IT. No doubt. And he lived many years longer than the child herself he killed got to live!
He's going out too easily, considering the horrific violence they all suffered.
He can go right to hell.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Yes continously
I don’t think the government should ever have the power to legally kill their citizens under any circumstances unless the person is actively in the process of trying to kill someone like the police shooting an active gunman.
Actually this was a woman/mother and daughter/little girl-not female, these were humans not animals
@@MN-hv5xv ??? your point??? I don't think GENDER was in the discussion!! Take it somewhere else!!
How you know he did it. You were not there be aware of the story teller.
He knew what he was doing, sorry about your loss! God bless!!
My condolences to this father who lost his daughter. God please keep this amazing little girl and her mom close to you and please bring peace to his man’s mind and heart ❤️
Damn he’s evil, Rip to the victims.
Whoever bred these demons ugh
I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby girl, I couldn't imagine your pain. I'm amazed by your forgiveness and the powerful message you are sending out on DV, ty and God bless ❤️
He was pronounced dead at 7:17PM. JUSTICE was served.
I remember hearing this story. It's heartbreaking.
I think I do too. The names sound familiar. I think I learned about this tragedy on an ID series. Baby girl had been with her dad and he had just dropped her off back with mom. I think.
@@lar-zd9rs yeah you right it’s 2 more survivors that talks about it in the interview
Am sorry somethings you cannot be forgiven or forgotten.
@Miss Boss First of all if they never even sincerely apologized then they don't deserve forgiveness. Second, you CAN choose to not forgive someone and still live a life without constant hate and negativity. Your beliefs on forgiveness is not something everyone has to follow.
@Miss Boss
Say That..... Especially when GOD TELLS US TO FORGIVE, but they listen to people MORE THAN THEY DO GOD!!!
@@galantreentrant Not really now forgiveness works. No one has to apologize to deserve forgiveness. Forgiveness works in favor of you being able to move on and not hold onto hate. Even if you don't feel like you're carrying hate it's there.
Doesn't mean you think what happened was just or right or even means you have to forget it happened. It's for yourself not them. If one is a true Christian or a religion where forgiveness is taught or even just teaching goodness upon others then you forgive. If you can't forgive one's trespasses how can anyone forgive yours? No sin is greater than another, even if it's easy for us humans to compare.
It is much harder to forgive and easy to hate, but not impossible. Forgive and move on if the other person can't? Well, that's on them. Why there's so many unhappy people in the world.
@@verajones9158 😂😂
@Miss Boss 😂😂
Amen to this man’s strength and forgiveness! “He said how can he be a Christian and not forgive”, that’s AMAZING!!
God bless this man for being a practicing Christian in his daily life and offering forgiveness.
The dad "forgives" the trash bag who took his daughters life. He doesn't deserve forgiveness.
He's a Christian.
This is what Christians do if you want to go to heaven
@@orethawitcher3133 lol Christian’s are so sure it’s a heaven that y’all are ready to forgive a monster who hurt a mother and child such 🤡 thinking
Forgiveness is not only for Christians. Its a concept we all need to understand...but most of us do not.
I’m a medium and I just want to say that when you forgive someone that is a gift for you not for the evil person who carried out the evil act. If he carried that hate around with him after losing his child, after all these years- do you think that would help him or hurt him even more? We forgive to heal our hearts, because that is what God wants truly and we forgive to carry-on for our loved ones that aren’t here anymore. Forgiveness does not mean you condone someone’s evil actions, it means that you are giving yourself the gift of forgiveness, so that you can heal and move on the best you can from a tragedy like this. His daughter is so proud of her daddy, smiling down on him from heaven. He is everything a dad should be- loving, forgiving, faithful, and kind. God rest all of their souls, until they meet again💜💜😇👼💜☀️🦋🌸
GOOD. Line them up. That guy who forgave is NUTS. I'd Never ever forgive that MONSTER
How is a bereaved father NUTS? His pain would otherwise be unbearable.
Jesus won’t forgive you
I could never forgive something like that. I could try to forget it, but I would never forgive.
Amen
"I'm a Christian. I live a Christian life. What do I look like saying I'm Christian and I don't forgive. Yes I forgive him." Summarized what he said there and I LOVE IT because the many Christiana I've known that go to church every Sunday or watch online, preach this and that, claiming they're"christian" be some of the most hypocritical and judgmental people ever🙄. I applaud this man!!! 👏🏾
Girl shut up🙄
Amen
Mans a fool ! If this is being a good Christian then I want no part of it,some crimes are unforgivable
What's with you Christian people saying I forgive this or that
The man murdered his daughter
You really forgive that
You black people really need to get out of those christian church and go read your Bible
If some Caucasians, Black people etc kill your children you say I forgive them
That's why so many people don't really respect black people
There is a time to forgive yes but you have to know what time is that
Wow my people are really lost wow 😳😲😳
My Condolences to the family .
My Condolences to the biological father and the family. He forgives good for him it’s what the Most High God would want 😢💔
that's why pot should be legal
I’m glad she’s finally getting justice, that never deserved to happen to this family
He’s a monster that’s inhumane imagining what’s the lil girl did to fight for her life is just horrifying😢
This is awful, not even his child, he killed somebody else’s child.
That father is a bigger person than I am
WAAY bigger!
There you go! NY needs to follow what Texas does!
this was heartbreaking..bless this father
Poor little sweetie bless her little precious soul.
The father has forgiven the man. Whew, we as a ppl forgive way too often and way too fast
@@cloverjulia77😂😂
@@cloverjulia77he can be forgiven after he’s been put to death
We’ve got to forgive them, in order to heal ourselves.
I can’t stand it!
He also didn’t seem to be emotional at all talking about her passing.
@Miss Boss Thou shall not kill is also God’s Law. It was broken when his 6 yo was killed so it’s fair game 😊
RIP beautiful souls 🕊️
I watched a documentary with the two surviving now young men. I hope they find peace, you can tell both of them are still so devastated and traumatized.
Poor guy. The dad, not the murderer, of course.
thanx for clearing that up
I don't even see anything else lately
@@robertenglish3921 What do you mean by that? Don't see anything else?
@@carnage0685 I think he's talking about more info on this case
Smh
Horrible! ! Can you imagine a worse way to die ! That poor child at six years old has really just begun to live her life.
Ok so a guy can kill two ppl and get the death sentence but you have these guys that went on mass shootings and they get life in prison?! Um there is something seriously wrong here... If any one kills more than one person or has intent to kill more than one person it should be an automatic death sentence. There is no excuse in this world good enough to take a persons life.
Blame the states that decided to abolish death sentence as well as inconsistencies between juries and judges, there are no solid rules on what punishment goes to what crime unfortunately. There really is no reason for tax payers to be paying the food and water bills for murderers of innocent people
True, but not every state has the death penalty as a punishment. Believe it or not, some states have sentenced to death murderers like Manson's followers in California, and then some rich people manage to pull it off for their congress to change the law so the murderer doesn't die & gets life instead, with parole even, imagine that, but usually they don't get paroled.
At least states with death penalties allow some time for appeals to get their evidence together which can take a long time, other than that, they are allowed some time to come to terms with their guilt & responsibility, & most of all to reconcile with God, being repentitive & seeking forgiveness... cuz they have been condemned to death by the court & their eternal soul is in jeopardy of losing worse. Most of us could care less about saving them on Earth or eternally, knowing their crime & their risk to society, but knowing God in his perfection does care for the eternal soul's redemption & salvation, we allow for some time in opportunity for them, & they are even provided ministering & such to assist them. God knows the true heart, will & soul of man where we can not.
Even God does not allow forever to get straight with Him, we have an appointed time in this temporary life to die, our days are numbered, it is in other words, an appointed time by which to redeem ourselves thru Christ before our death... God will not be loving anyone UNconditionally, but if you are seeking Him & trying to love Him, He will know, this is the most important Commandment #1) to love Him, thus you love yourself, that you might then #2) love others thru that fact. One can give give give to provide security & welfare, all their wealth, all skill to heal, etc, THE PHYSICAL, knowing that 'charity is love', BUT fall short of God's Glory, Kingdom, & Eternal Life if man does not believe & acknowledge God, His Love & Ways by #1 Commandment... meaning that God is EVERYTHING, we are each nothing without Him.
It profits us nothing to be charitable, trying to love ourselves & others, when our soul & love of God matters most to God & all eternity, it should matter to us then. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world... but lose His soul. The Glorious eternal life of the soul is found in our humility & sacrifice for the FIRST & most important Commandment. He desires/wants everyone to love Him willingly; we do so born out of our faith, our believing in Him, so I pray for all those on death-row to seek God... just as we are each one in this temporary life given an appointed Time, to seek, to learn to love... God. Amen
Only through forgiveness can he live a life not filled with hate and sorrow
Smh. Idk, This is why it's important to stay close to your children and stop creating single mother homes, where other men come to "raise" your kids and truly don't care about them. Its so sad when kids can't grow up feeling safe, protected, and loved at home. I may be pushing it to say don't let a man come live in the home with you and your children. It opens them up to all kinds of evil energy as we never know what's in the heart of these people. A woman or man's need for affection and companionship should not cost your children their lives.
AMENNNNN
You get it!🌹
Blessings sis
Hope the other men and women who killed their kids will face the same.
Good Riddance 👹
I will never forgive a murderer . This girls dad forgive the killer of his child is absolutely crazy! This won’t go well with me
He's not crazy. He was grieving. There's no right or wrong way for a parent to mourn their loss. If forgiveness helped him heal to some extent, we shouldn't judge that. If this were me, I'd probably kill the man myself.
He is following Jesus Christ's command. We must forgive others as He demonstrated by dying on the cross to save all of us. He forgave and we are to imitate him. This man is STRONG in his faith!
It is hard to forgive in a situation like this, but you did it. I don't think I could. But we know you will NEVER FORGOT YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL.
I have no understanding thus no respect of a man who could forgive the killer of his child.
Hell, I agree.
I feel the same. That's PSYCHOTIC
It’s easy a majority of Blk men do not care for their own kids
This VERY strong Christian man is doing what he is called to do. We are to be Jesus' hands and feet and image bearers. Jesus forgave the people who killed Him while He was dying on a cross. This was a horrible way to die, taking days to do so. He was beaten so badly beforehand that He was unrecognizable and He still forgave.
I greatly respect this man! Forgiveness brings healing to the person forgiving even if it doesn't to the one forgiven. Bitterness and desire for vengeance are not the way to live a fulfilling life.
Good I hope the first door to HELL is open .
RIGHT
So glad REAL justice was served RIP 🙏
I will never understand how men can’t just walk away instead of ruining lives including their own. That ego must be larger than life.
This is heartbreaking. Why kill a baby??? RIP Jasmine
RIP TO THEM BOTH 😢This father is so amazingly strong and definitely walks by faith because it's not easy to forgive someone for taking the life of your child 🙏
My condolences 💐 to his daughter and her mother. May the Rest In Peace 🙏🏾.
So sad.. Bless this Father..
Forgiveness and justice on Earth, judgement thereafter. I hope the rest of the family has already found peace, and now they can all move forward. 🙏
I can’t imagine surviving my baby
Great..now instead of waiting that long let's speed up the process faster...
I'm sorry I couldn't forgive someone hurting or killing my child this is why I'm not a Christian
If you are willing to follow Jesus, He calls you to do as He did, forgive. I don't consider it a steep price when he has saved my life for all eternity. AND Jesus helps you to learn to forgive the unforgivable. With His help, it can be done.
Omg I remember this story. Prayers to the brothers that survived.
Finally a judicial system that works. Except it took ten years.
I’m so sorry for this family!
My Condolences to the surviving family members and friends
My PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS are with you, sir.
Rest now Angel
2009? Took too long to execute
Wow, it takes a strong man to forgive someone who murdered their child. When he said he forgave him and asked how he could live a Christian life and not forgive the man, that really amazed me. I don't understand how people can forgive someone who took their loved one's life away, but I see all kinds of stories about people not only forgiving a murderer, but HUGGING them in court. That's really powerful, and I hate to say it but if someone murdered someone close to me I don't think I'd have the strength to forgive them, especially if they killed with no remorse.
Takes a weirdo.
A complete gutless loser to do that.
Forget all that Christian talk. You handle up in situations such as this.
I’m so sorry for your loss, sir. May you find peace and closure.
Oh, BS, justice was served and swiftly. Glad I don't have to pay for that POS in jail for the rest of his worthless life. As far as forgiveness, that father is a better person than I. May God bless that poor little girl and her mother.
He failed his family when they needed him the most. He shouldn't off ever left his family. I couldn't imagine being separated from my family. My parents are still together, and I don't understand how this family was. So sad
I preach this to my sons to never leave because a woman can bring a deranged man in the household and u will not have any control of what happens.
OMG that is terrible my prayers are with them 🙏🌹🌷🌺💐🌷❤
Justice well given
I believe in the death penalty.
Well Deserved.... They don't like Child Killer in Hell too 😂🤣😂🤣
It is incredibly brave for him to go around speaking out against domestic violence after suffering such a tragedy, his strength is admirable.
As hard as it is hating or holding grudges against a person is more painful just forgive them and let them stand before God in judgement day
Deepest condolences on the loss of your precious baby girl and her mom.. May they rest in Jesus Christ..Lord have mercy on his soul🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
In my religion prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, said, “By the one in whose hand is my soul, a time will surely come upon people in which the killer does not know why he has killed, and the one killed does not know why he was killed.”

✨ 🙏🏾☕ prayer is the strongest weapon of the believer we must pray to God only and often with sincerity 💖
Crazy how a female can leave a baby in a fire dept box and walk away, but the father is on the hook for 18 years. Corrupt system broken homes and that's their brilliant plan.

I am so sorry for your loss

Lol of course because over 10 years isn’t a long time she decided to suck another dudes D but yeah let’s blame the dude who didn’t kill.
Just mad he didn’t choose you this easily could have been you and maybe one day I’ll see on the news like I’m seeing this over a decade.
Real talk
you know him personally to say that ???
A very cruel thing to say about someone you know nothing about.
