To WCTV when I wrote my comment you failed to publish it. I was only speaking the truth about all these false claims about child abductions and such. These women get off easy because of their race, but if the shoe was on the other foot nobody reports minorities when they are missing and it is a lot. When you let some of your audience write about minorities as if its okay you let it get published. So it should go both ways. Stop letting people write about issues when it is targeted towards one group.

You are some sorry ass individuals to say anything about the way Shannon looks after what she has been thru and what could have been. I bet your mothers are so proud of you! Thank God for those who didn't give up until they found her. I hope and pray she never wants or needs for another thing in her life!

This baby sitter's motive was not to protect this child. What plans did she really have for the child? DCF is the real culprit, they S*****d up again! This could have been avoided if the social worker had done his/her job properly and listened to those who were trying to get this child moved from parents that excessively use alcohol and drugs. If there are lights & heat/cooling on in the house, milk, bread, food in the refrigerator and the child appears healthy, DCF does not take children. DCF criteria does not recognize excessive drug, alcohol use by the parents step parents, live-in boyfriends/girlfriends as a legal excuse for removing children from their homes neither can it be used as an excuse for not returning children to their parents, stepparents and live-in boyfriends/girlfriends. DCF keeps and places children in harmful situations all the time. Their mission is to keep families together regardless of the conditions. They call it "parental rights".

ME, have you looked in the mirror lately? You are an ugly person. Beauty is only skin deep and ugly is to the bone.

What a shame.... with all the programs that the state offers why "throw out" such a beautiful child. They are hundrends of family in this state alone that would love to adopt such a sweet child. people like that should not be allowed to have children.

Susan Baker kills children. Her brother must know and certainly her husband does...one unsolved murder of a 4 yr old,one attempted murder of a 6 yr old, and this. She is a menace and should never see the light of day. There is NO rehabilitation for her and all shrinks know better than to try. She is a perversion of maternity, a beast that eats its own. The mother? Perhaps too easily deceived and too lazy to care who was "caring" for her child...she took orders from Susan most likely and thought this woman knew what she was doing. I'm guessing the mother had no idea that Susan was planning to murder Shannon but she played along without knowing anything about Susan's background and if she did know, she is as guilty as Susan just not as experienced. And that doesn't remove the men from guilt either. WTH!! All of em should get locked up for good and Susan should never have contact with any child EVER! May her husband's son rest in peace...bless his soul, the poor thing was her first victim.

It's an insane world we live in. Jeez Put these people in a mental hospital and put the child up for adoption. Anything less is just adding to the madness.

Thank god foe the safe return of this beautiful child. To those of you who think her parents deserve another chance with this child you must be "reallyimpaired" for that type of judgement you should be sent to jail for stupidity.It's sad that so many black women died to the hands of one man and no one found them.I'm not racist but it seems as if the justice system favors certain people.You can lock someone up for conspirency with no "actual evidence" but you can't lock up some of these people who have been under investigation for their missing child.God bless this America.

this was not a "false claim" you idiots.....this child was in mortal danger. praise Jesus the powers that be DID take it serious.....that is the only way they found this sweet angel alive. good work everyone and let us not forget to thank the good Lord above for watching over this sweet girl until law enforcement could find her !

They should never have gotten the baby back the baby should be able to go to someone who will adopt her and love her not put her in a box and under a bed for 5 days. I would take care of her. I would love her they way she needs to be loved.

Candi, the mother has said from the beginning that she did not want her baby. Tina needs to be sterilized for starters.

It is wonderful that this little baby has been found. I thank God that the police were able to find her. This would not have happen if the parents had been arrested for using illegal drugs.

Poor little baby, Born in a world where she is only here to help her so-called parents get welfare. I hope the state puts her with people that love her.And not someone who see her as a moneybag.
