But I only meant to torture her.

I stand amazed at what people can do to their own children. Kimberly Dawn Trenor is currently standing trial for the torture and murder of her 2-year-old little girl. Jurors were brought to tears at hearing the woman admit what she did to the toddler.

It seems the child, at 2 years old, didn't have manners enough to suit her parents. She didn't say "please" and "yes sir" to Trenor's scumbag husband. So the couple spent the entire day teaching her by beating her with belts, dunking her in cold water, and repeatedly flinging her across the room until they fractured her skull. Then they hid the little body in a plastic container and finally dumped it in Galveston Bay. I don't think the baby was the one who needed a lesson in manners!

Trenor's defense attorney says she never intended to kill the child. I guess she expects that to mitigate all the torture Trenor did deliberately inflict. The kicker to all this is that while she was awaiting trial, she gave birth to a little boy. At least she gave up her parental rights to this child. However, the scumbag husband has not given up his rights. Hopefully, he will be convicted and never leave the prison walls so that his parental rights will be a non-issue. Too bad it's considered cruel and unusual punishment to do to them what they did to their own daughter.
