Did you remember the slain toddler dubbed as "Baby Grace", who was found stuffed inside a plastic container and floating in Galveston Bay in 2007? If you do then you will surely be horrified by her story. She was beaten to death by her own mother and step father. The 2-year old victim, Riley Ann Sawyers, pleaded to her mother and step father to stop brutalizing her, but this didn't stop them.

During the opening statement of district attorney Kyla Allen for jurors, the day that she said Riley Ann died for forgetting to say "please" and "yes, sir."This story got me depressed. Taking the life of an innocent and helpless child is just so maddening!
Allen said that on July 25, 2007, Trenor and Zeigler disciplined Riley by whipping her with a belt, pushing her head against a pillow and holding her head under water. She said Zeigler grabbed Riley and tossed her across the room, fracturing her skull. An autopsy concluded the skull fractures caused her death.
"To the very end, Riley said, 'I love you' to her mom. She's reaching out," Allen said. "That's her lifeline, to her mother. What does Kim do after hearing her say I love you? She starts beating her."
Allen said the adults did nothing to help even as Riley lay dying.
