Toddler Killed

Do You Really Know What's Going on in Your Neighborhood?

 

 



People always seem to be friendly to their neighbors. Say hello when crossing paths, helping them out here and there, maybe even inviting them over for dinner. But most people do not know every thing that goes on or could be going on right next door to them.

Tuesday morning Nathlayz Rivera's parents, a young three year old twin, were faced with third- degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, criminal conspiracy, and child endangerment charges. Her parents left this child with absolutely nothing in an unlivable home. When the home was investigated authorities had to go in with full body coverage and masks due to all of the health risks. The home was infested with bugs and filled with trash. They also found the other four children, all under the age of nine, living in this awful environment. They have been involved with the authorities once before because of their living conditions.

When Nathlayz was found, she was immediately rushed to the ER and was unresponsive. She weighed less than one third the amount of an average toddler at eleven pounds. She had multiple disabilities that have not been taken care of in anyway and hadn't been to a doctor in over a year.
Their neighbors had no idea this was going on. One said, "I would never think something like that would happen, but I mean, who knows?"

I found this article to be absolutely devastating, eye opening, and shocking. I find such are hard time understanding how someone could do this to an innocent child. She had siblings who loved her and a twin that is going to grow up with out her other half. It also is so sad that these parents had all of these children and then allowed them to live in such a foul home. The fact that people around them had no idea that something this awful was going on in this house is awful and makes me think how many children out their are suffering right now that no one knows about.
