ReplyDeleteMay the walls of justice implode on Datosha Spence, the mother of this innocent 3 year old. Any mother who beat her daughter to death or allowed her daughter to die like she did deserves the same treatment times 10. Datosha Spence may you feel the hate you displayed toward your daughter, during every breath you take.
