I think more investigation is needed here. It just appears to be too organized. NO ONE noticed the grandmother was off it?? Where is the mother? I'm not so ready to jump on the bandwagon of condemnation until there is more investigation. The stabbing is an unsual aspect. Toxicology results may help. IF [big if] grandma was off her rocker we can not judge the eternal factor. I think more facts are needed at this time than judgements.

I agree with amp. This woman is nothing more than a murderer. At 7 years old, this girl had a rough life but had a lot of time to move forward. Its sad that a selfish grandmother had to change that. Like I said before, to hell she shall go. Its not my rule, but its a good one.

Speaking only formyself , I don't care how much I may want to die or how much it would hurt me to leave my grandaughter behind. There is no way in hell I could look at that sweet little child and then plunge a knife into her. You would think a person that did not resent you, and ( maybe she did )would at least have a little compassion for the child by doing something less gruesome. I don't know ! Just thinking out loud .

It amazes me how some of you are defending this murderer?? She could have gave this child a chance to live.She had already lived her life if she was ready to go then so be it.Just because she was old doesnt mean she has the right to kill.She is no better than cassie anthony.

It's so sad that these 2 people lost their life. Where is the mother? Could she have been a part of this tragedy? I hope a thorough investigation is done to rule out foul play. I pray for the family to be comforted. God rest their souls.

Just because the grandmother if that is what people want to call her was going something then she should have taken only herself. People that takes others are just plain overbearing and do not have the other persons best interest in mind. SELFISH! MEAN!

I wouldn't say she is going to hell. She really loved that child so much she couldn't bare to leave her "alone". I remember begging my grandmother once when she was sick: "Please don't leave me." We don't know what conversations they had. She must have thought she had a good reason. God Bless them both.

This happened real close to my house. It's sad. I would also bet that if those of us that live here don't know what happened the rest of the world doesn't either. As for going to hell. I'd say that would be between her and her God. Not you or I. God please be merciful on their souls.
