Oh Steve - you are right - this is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have ever read.

This has actually been on my mind for the past couple of years, as we are raising our very pleasant little surprise who is now 3-years-old. She came along quite by accident after we thought that we were done having kids.

Whenever she acts up or gives me a hard time, I think of Baby Grace's last moments. It settles me down like you wouldn't believe. I followed that story very closely back when she was found, and it has affected me ever since.

This mother belongs in hell right along with Casey Anthony. To hear that Riley told her mother that she loved her makes me cry. I tell you what, it makes me sick to see her smiling up there in the video.

I can't tell you how much this case touches my heart being from the area where Riley Ann was found. This is front page news here every day, the people of Galveston are following this trial like no other. But I would like to say a word about the kindness of strangers here. After Riley was found, there was a memorial grave site with a cross set up where she was found. They left the name off until she was identified, then put the name on the cross. If you will go to galvnews.com you can find out more details. The people here raised alot of money to pay for a casket, and to bring her remains back home. The cross is still there and people still leave flowers and teddy bears, and I am crying as I type this. There is no punishment enough.

This case is just another reminder that Caylee Anthony wasn't the first child to be killed by her mother. It saddens me that so many people are enthralled by Caylee, yet don't bother to mourn for this child, or the many others that have lost their lives by the hand of the one person who should have protected them with their life.

There is so much about this case that breaks your heart. This little girl had not even been in her new home but a matter of weeks when her life turned into a fatal nightmare. It is hard to wrap your head around this kind of cruelty. How can anyone be this angry and so violent to such a tiny child for hours and hours? This was not a impulsive acts but ongoing torture. It reminds me of little Summer Lytle.

Dear God, thank you so much for putting this disgusting so-called "mother" in prison for the rest of her life. I am soooo happy that justice was served. God bless little Riley's soul and may she rest in peace in the loving and safe arms of God almighty. I hope the "mother" rots in hell when she takes her last physical breath.

This kind of evil is the most horrific of all...what's worse is that it happens behind closed doors all the time...and at the cost of the most innocent little lives. Little souls that have no choice. No ability to defend. No voice. No chance. If I could, I would reach into every abusive home and grab that chlid out of harms way before any damage could be done. Think about it, right now a child or a family pet is being beaten somewhere right now in the good ol' U.S of A...the most innocent beings of all are tortured over nothing...makes me sick, makes me feel so shameful to be a part this very fallen world. We all need to speak up more over any suspicious act's of abuse to our most innocent, most hopeful, most joyful beings...

She such a gorgeous little girl. Why would anyone do that to her.

I feel some small measure of comfort reading the comments of others who cannot in any way, shape, form, or fashion imagine a mother doing the horrible things to her child that Trenor did to Riley Ann. I, too, have been affected by this horrible crime in ways I never thot possible. I have a 3 year old g'daughter, and watching her, and knowing when SHE misbehaves, it is normal, and it is age appropriate, and something she will outgrow makes me even SICKER when I think of what Trenor did. I'm watching MY daughter, who once said she never wanted kids and now has two, patiently deal with these little kid issues, and I know she could never fathom hurting her children. I, personally, do not feel justice was served, because Kimberly Trenor is still breathing good air. :(

I have a baby sister who is 2 years old her self and to think of anyone that small and young getting that terribly treated and abused to where they're killed just ripps me apart. riley ann has been such a great inspiration in my life and i've been using her story for my topics in my reports for class. I am so thankful that they're in jail and the fact that a mother could still beat her daughter that way even after she's reaching out telling her "I love you" is just breath taking and really says that she doesn't deserve such a precious little girl, because riley ann was a very beautiful baby girl. i know she will always be with me even though i didn't know her personally...I'll be praying for her family...it's obvious that Kimberly Trenor and her husband does not have God in their life and that's pretty sad, that probably wouldn't of happened if they did or even if they would of had just a little good in their heart..

This story is one of the worst I cannot get it out of my mined, this poor baby what she went through and for what. It makes my stomach so upset and sick inside. May trenor and ziegler rot in hell for all eternity. It seems like it just happen yesterday. I don't think any normal person will ever be the same especially mothers with children like myself. I wish there could have been a way to save this child and the only thing that helps is knowing that Jesus took her because he knew she was living with the Devil. No right mother in her right state of mind would have done this to her child or let anyone else abuse her child for that matter. May she see her face for all the rest of the days of her life and for now, Riley sweet baby girl, we love you dearly and may life may not have been in vain. We will all see you later. There are no goodbyes sweet one. I pray for your grandma and father, may you visit them in there dreams.
