They said Tekeevia still faces charges. I thought I’d read neither were granted the youthful offender status. But I couldnt find that article. Breaks my heart to see the photos of those sweet children.

Its nice to read the comments from the very responsible and mature young mothers. I wish the very best for you and your kids.

I don’t think 25 years is enough, certainly serving only 10 years is not enough. In fact its an insult to the young victims. Such beautiful babies, its just so sad. So Tekeevia, the mother of 2 out of the 3 kids got youthful offender status and will only serve 3 years? That is beyond sickening. Neither of these women should ever taste freedom again. Chances are they will both be breeding again and not improve as mothers. Some justice for the children.

Mentors and role models certainly are needed, but what about individual responsibility? How do you think these two young women would have reacted to a mentor from outside the area? I doubt they would have paid any attention at all.

>>.Hey people! Can you not read? She did not get 25 years, she got 25 years for each count! 75 years!!!!!!!!!

NO….if you will read the story it says “was sentenced to 25 years on each count, to be served concurrently.”

Concurrently means “at the same time”. So that’s just 25 years she might be in the slammer until she gets probation.

Hey people! Can you not read? She did not get 25 years, she got 25 years for each count! 75 years!!!!!!!!! If the judicial system will make her serve all 75 years like they should she more than likely will not see the outside again. That will be JUSTICE!

25 years for 3 innocent lives is unbelievable! This is NOT justice. It brought tears to my eyes to even look at the poor babies’ pictures in this article. What did they ever do to deserve to die?? I am not here to judge. They will get their judgement day. I just hope that everytime they close their eyes they hear the screams of what THEY CHOSE to do to these defenseless babies. There is too many mothers (no, they are not all teenagers) who use their children for social status and not care an ounce for their well being. The stove propped open? A mattress blocking the front door? How can anyone commend either one of them for anything?? The only good thing is that the beautiful little ones are in Heaven and away from the evil of this world. Their mothers can never hurt them again.

I commend Akeevia for admitting her guilt and taking the punishment that comes from her actions. Now it remains to be seen if her sister does the same. Good luck to you, Akeevia!

I would only like to say, how sad, these young ladies are ill-responsible, but acting in a manner they have been taught. The example that has been set down before them.No more need for child support. They now will have an all expense paid — room and board for the next 25 years. But what do these 3 children get???? a dark cold box in the ground. Somehow that just does’nt seem fair to me, Maybe it would be justice to put them in a room– lock the door– loss the key and just walk away, (maybe go to a party. ) 25 years is not enough!!! but then again, there is not a # big enough that would be.
God forgive us!!!

these girl’s mother was in prison. they were being raised by an aunt who meant well and tried, but was up against more than she could handle because she had to work as well and the girls were headstrong and irresponsible, as teenage girls who think they know it all are. Social services tried to intervene, but the girls would not listen. There was never enough people to get through to them. Their family tried, the father’s of the babies and the little boy tried, but these teenage babies thought they knew it all and could have the kids and party, too. They believed if they were just down the street, nothing could happen. It is sad and a shame. Seeing the girls occasionally I can honestly say they were indifferent to the kids…except that it was more of a status thing with them. Seems they thought that having the kids made them more important but they were not putting the safety of their children first. I can only hope that prison will help them mature and one day really realize what they did. Maybe in prison they won’t get pregnant.
