Today the world is out of control and the people . They say want they want to say . Want about there feeling. And want going on with them . And want they really want . It hurt when someone take away our life. ... And place it in there hands😭😂🤪🤪🙄 .

What about the mother? She needs to be arrested too.

Was obvious from the get go !

😅

Humans don’t do thing like this to children, they are animals. Which is probably unfair on animals.

Look at that sweet face. That poor little girl.

CNN Put him in general population. The good thing about Texas is they’ll kill his ass for this

Sick people,so so sad

Blame our Justice system!! The judge gave those kids back to her!!! His Law License needs to be stripped and blame placed on him too!!!

This story smelled from the beginning! I’d be checking moms hard drive as well...leaves her daughter with her ex fiancé who is abusive, to travel on a plane?

It doesn't sound right

CNN Here is my thought on this mess

So he shagged is dead daughter? That’s sick.

About time

Foolish parents

Lolzz

Put him on the electric ⚡️ chair

😂

Sad

ป., ( ะปแะบก แ

Children are so vulnerable these days. Such men are not worth living.

He murdered that baby to keep her quiet. Her mother is as much to blame as he is. Why the hell would you leave your child with a known abuser?

CNN Poor child. Such a beautiful, sweet kid. People are so sick. Gone at an age when everything about the world seems nice. My kid is around that age and these sick acts keep me up at night, fearing for my child.

CNN Pathetic

Arrest the mom too, she said she knew he was abusing this sweet angel.

My Lord🙏🏽

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 RIP sweet girl.

Who didnt see this coming

CNN No surprise here.

Oh no. For once I was hoping the adult would be telling the truth. I was even screaming because no one picked him and son up walking to the hospital. This is terrible.

Heartbreaking and disgusting! Women!!!! DO BETTER!!!! U DO NOT NEED A MAN THAT DAMN BAD!! She was a BABY!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP LADIES!!!!!!!! MaleahDavis

This poor baby.....

CNN I’m sick. 😢

That monster was not this baby’s stepfather! This was her mother’s fiancé.

What's happening to our children? Our little girls and boys? Our young people? Our future? Pray!

That little girl is dead and he did it. The mother needs to be questioned extensively as well. She alleges that the stepfather physically abused Maleah, but she still left Maleah alone with him? Why? To go where? For what? Where was M’s father?

Que horror pobre nina.

What a surprise

CNN Heartbreaking

CNN Decapitate that paedophile

😭😭😭😭

Garbage parents should of never gotten those kids back. CPS failed her.

So sad.

this is sad. This man if found guilty should be taken out to a tree and hung by the neck until dead. What a beautiful little girl, very tragic.

Such a beautiful girl... this world’s cruelty is killing all of us!!!

SICKO

CNN No one on this earth is shocked by this, but most especially the MOTHER!!!!!!!

Starting to connect the Dots...

Tampering with a corpse, how fd up are some people, cage him throw away the key

😢

CNN How do you look at this beautiful girl and lay a finger on her. I will never understand.

If he hurt her can we'bobbetize 'him?

CNN The evil of human nature is the same everywhere, whether in the United States, China, Europe, Japan, Russia or South America, Africa.I hope this little girl will have a good time in heaven.

I knew that POS had harmed that precious baby. Why that child was returned to that home by the authorities, I'll never know. Her death is also on their hands along with the mother who allowed her child to be abused.

CNN And crickets.......

What has this little poor girl done to deserve all these

CNN I knew he was guilty when I read his dumb story.

It’s not all the systems fault Mother’s have a lot to do with it. The mum of the little girl she should know how this men was.

So sad

Why does this happen. Beautiful little girl. 💜

Poor Baby

CNN We all saw this coming. Poor baby

I’m glad the step father is in jail.

Aww poor baby people please stop killing kids

CNN Hang em high!!!

CNN Children dying in every manner unthinkable. Humans are losing the Great Experiment of Life and fallen into darkness and hate. The Earth's existence depends on the best on its surface. The humans. We are divided and broken. Rise up to be better. Humanity equality love not hate

The evil in our world.

CNN May she find peace, happiness and laughter in a better place. In her life she touched so many, in her death so many life were changed. Let’s keep her in our prayers. And pray for the monster to get punished

Piece of S___

Omg!! How sad.

HELLO?

Mothers’ boyfriends statistically most danergous to children

CNN Well that’s what happens when your protection system stinks! Where I live someone files an complaint they just show up at your place unannounced and if they see something inappropriate they will take your children and force you to fight through the court system to get them back!

Lovely child. Who would hurt her?

They better come up with something better than this charge. If I understand everything they have not found a body so they don't know if it was a murder and if so how it was committed. This charge on it's own will never stick. I said in the beginning they needed to look at him.

This is sick

Shocker. Called it the day I heard his story. People suck.

A very sad story, I’m sure it breaks everyone’s hearts. Unfortunately liberals will look at it as the equivalent of an abortion, as they passed a law in New York where they can do so up to the 38 weeks. Bastards, how dare you take a defenseless child’s life. RIP child of god.

His son probably saw everything to young to explain sad

No surprise!

CNN His story never sound right

I think most of us knew this was most likely coming. Poor baby

So sad. And very frustrating that these so called parents fail to provide and love and protect their own children

BEAUTIFUL CHILD STOLEN SHE DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE DUE TO THIS MONSTER EVIL WAYS

🙏

There are just dirty dogs in this world. This is heartbreaking. I extend my condolences to the family.

Oh no

20 years? He’ll is better

CNN Omg 😥why just why!!!

Evil World thought you pose to protect your kids at all cost or I'm missing something

His story didn’t make sense.

Vence had been missing since he reported Maleah's disappearance and the police 'were actively' searching for him.

This guy should burn in hell

I'm sure the charges will be upped to murder at some point. Such a beautiful little girl gone. For what?!

Yeah... no-one saw that coming. Except everyone did see it coming.

Just heart breaking.

Tampering sounds like he murdered the baby he is being charged yet?

another dindu nuffin, another crime

HPD: Blood evidence linked to Maleah Davis found in stepfather's apartment.

The Judge needs to resign. The Judge, not CPS, gave Maleah back. A 4 y/o had a suspicious injury, the mom didn’t even want to take her to the ER when it happened, she endured 3 brain surgeries, but the Judge returned her! Epic failure by a family court Judge. JusticeForMaleah

Texas stepfather who reported 4- year old girl missing has been arrested.

That sweet baby angel. RIP MaleahDavis

CNN Why? Tell me.

I knew he wasn’t her real father from the first time story broke out. There’s no way in hell a real father would let someone take or harm their children. He will fight til death before his children are harmed. I am so heart broken for this little baby

😀😀

So sad... we all k ew his story was fake.

Once again, adults failed a child.
