    Kimberly Dawn Trenor and Royce Clyde Zeigler II

    Kimberly Trenor19-year-old Kimberly Dawn Trenor and 24-year-old Royce Clyde Zeigler II would not make good correctional officers.

    In the correctional field, there are many times when you wish that you could just whip out a stun stick and bludgeon someone either into doing what they should be doing or into not doing what they shouldn’t be doing.

    Because most correctional officers are professionals, they don’t do that kind of thing. There are consequences for behavior that falls outside set guidelines.

    Correctional officers are like parents in many ways.

    Parents, too, need at least a modicum of self-control.

    Royce ZeiglerLike correctional officers, parents are faced with recalcitrant individuals who test their boundaries on a daily basis.

    Like correctional officers, parents have to deal with individuals who, if left to their own devices, will get into all sorts of mischief.

    There are good correctional officers and there are bad correctional officers.

    There are good parents and there are bad parents.

    Kimberly Dawn Trenor and Royce Clyde Zeigler II fall squarely into the latter category.

    Royce Zeigler and Kimberly Trenor met through the online game World of Warcraft. They hit it off well enough in that game that Kimberly moved her and her 2-year-old daughter, Riley Ann Sawyers, from Mentor, Ohio to Texas in June of 2007 to be with Zeigler.

    While he might have been great at leading raids into forbidding online dungeons, Royce Zeigler proved as inept at parenting as a color-blind individual would be at designing wordpress themes.

    Royce Zeigler insisted that little Riley Ann Sawyers should always answer him with “Yes sir,” or “no sir.” He also felt that she should always say “please” when she asked for something.

    While this may seem like a sensible goal, trying to instill a sense of respect into a toddler, the way Royce Zeigler went about training Riley Ann was…oh…a little harsh.

    Zeigler, who is apparently completely out of touch with the realities of child development, insisted that Kimberly Trenor spank her daughter with a belt every time she slipped up.

    Parents of two-year-olds are probably shaking their heads as they read this, knowing as they do that two-year-olds have a hard enough time going potty in the potty chair, and that training a toddler to follow strict army-like discipline might take a little more love, dedication and patience than two World of Warcraft addicts would likely be able to manage.

    Riley Ann SawyersRiley Ann Sawyers, as can be expected, didn’t perform up to Royce Zeigler’s expectations. After a few frustrating weeks of seeing little improvement in Riley Ann’s behavior, Royce believed that Kimberly Trenor wasn’t following through on his directions, that she wasn’t spanking the child when she screwed up.

    Royce Zeigler who evidently subscribed to the old fashioned notion that “if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself,” got so fed up with the lack of Riley Ann’s progress that he decided to stay home from work on the 24th of July, 2007 and work on her behavior all day long.

    Only Zeigler and Trenor know what started it. Maybe Riley Ann didn’t say “yes sir” when Royce asked her to pick up her toys. Maybe she didn’t say “please” when she asked for a glass of milk, or to go outside and play.

    But something Riley Ann either did or didn’t do set Zeigler off and the day of torture began.

    According to statements from Kimberly Trenor, Royce Zeigler started the day of discipline off with a savage beating of the little 2-year-old girl with thick leather belts – leather belts which raised all kind of horrible welts and bruises on the toddler.

    As can be expected from a little girl being beaten by an evil stepfather, she cried and cried. Because the girl was so upset, she forgot what little training she could manage to remember on a regular basis, which just upset Royce Zeigler all the more.

    Riley Ann Sawyer was slapped around by both parents for a while. Her hair was pulled. She was smothered, held face-first into the pillows of a couch.

    She was in a considerable amount of pain, which Zeigler and Trenor dealt with by giving the girl children’s over-the-counter pain medication.

    The torture lasted between four and six hours.

    At the end of that time, a bathtub was filled with water and Royce and Kimberly held Riley Ann’s head underwater for a while, dragging the girl out when it seemed she would pass out, then pushing her head back under after the girl took a few gasps of air.

    After waterboarding Riley Ann, Royce Zeigler pulled the 2-year-old out of the water, lifted her by the hair and hurled the child across the room.

    After hitting the wall, Riley Ann slid down and hit the hard tile floor headfirst.

    Her skull was fractured in three places on the back of her head, an injury which resulted in Riley Ann Sawyer’s death.

    Her mother and stepfather, displaying all the decorum of a pair of jackals attending a royal ball, covered the dead two-year-old with a purple towel when they realized their “training” had killed the little girl.

    That night, the couple went to Wal-Mart and picked up a blue plastic tote, into which they placed the body of Riley Ann Sawyer. The tote was stored in a shed in the backyard.

    For two months.

    Curious relatives asked Kimberly Trenor where Riley Ann was and how she was doing. Kimberly told those relatives that someone claiming to be a social worker from Ohio had taken the little girl away. Why anyone thought that sounded ok, I’ll never know.

    After two months of storage, Kimberly Trenor and Royce Zeigler took the tote and dumped it into Galveston Bay, where it floated around until found on the 29th of October, 2007 by a fisherman.

    A media furor erupted, focused on finding out who the dead little girl (who they referred to as “Baby Grace”) was, who her parents were and how she died. Forensic artists were brought in and were able to recreate a decent representation of what the girl would have looked like when she was alive. Their work was good enough that her grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, contacted police on the 7th of November after realizing the sketch police released could have been her granddaughter.

    An investigation brought about enough evidence that Zeigler and Trenor were arrested on the 24th of November, 2007.

    They were charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence. Capital murder charges are expected to be filed soon.

    Kimberly Trenor’s lawyer has claimed that Kimberly was controlled by Royce Zeigler and was in a “trance-like state” during the murder and that Royce Zeigler was responsible for what happened to Riley Ann.

    Zeigler’s lawyer disagrees:

    She is placing all the blame on Royce, but I think that once the facts come to light, once the timeline’s established and the evidence is combed through … I think her credibility is gonna become a big issue.

    This has all the markings of a long trial with very little justice being done.

    How much do you want to bet that Kimberly Trenor beats the charge?

      How pleasant. There is a time and place for formalities like the prefix he so desired but that time is not when the subject in question is so young. She probably didn’t have much of a vocabulary at all, how could he expect her to remember those sorts of things? And then beat her?

      I mean I’ve heard of spanking of course, I was spanked myself a few times, but that’s quite a leap from a single slap on the posterior to a beating! With a belt no less. I guess once you get into the heat of the moment it’s all or nothing aye? I mean it’s like “we’ve already beat her and practically drowned her, why not throw her head against the wall make it a party?”

      The hell is wrong with those people? Seriously?

    2. DualDenz says:

      makes one think about going vigilanti on his ass. those two deserve to be beaten to deatch with a bat or any other blunt object. What do you expect from a two year old girl?

    3. GloryBug says:

      I am one of those people who was ‘regularly’ spanked as a child.

      But never, when my a-parents were mad. They always made me sit in my room for a long time before I was spanked. I grew to fear- not the spankings- but the knowledge that I’d disappointed my a-parents, and would eventually be given 3 swats.

      After I had my kids, I’ll admit I first started dealing with my children’s misbehaviour by sending them to their room to wait until I was not angry, to spank them.

      Then one day it seemed so clear. The spankings were not what was working, it was my disappointment with them that was working.

      From then on, instead of sending them to ‘time-out’ and then a spanking, it’s a time-out and then after I’ve gotten over being angry, a talk about how they’ve disappointed me.

      To be honest, I think the reason I stopped dealing with my kids the way my a-parents had dealt with me was because I always felt like such a POS afterwards. Subconsciously, I would never have tolerated anyone hurting my kids, and I didn’t want to be doing that, either.

      The big ‘I was abused as a child’ excuse needs to go out the window. When I was with my b-mother, she has admitted to having choked me until I passed out, at age 2, to leaving me with anyone/everyone even though she suspected they might harm me or be molesting me, and to burning me on my stomach with a hot iron. She’s iffy about possibly trying to poison me. My right hand has twisted fingers because they got caught in an (old fashioned) elevator trying to get away from her.

      I don’t know if my b-mother was abused as a child. And I don’t much care. Because I am proof that children who’ve been abused do not, as a rule, go on to abuse their own children. I really think it comes down to the fact that I LOVE my children, and I never want them to be hurt. She, obviously, did not.

      This story just breaks my heart.

      The courts need to stop allowing the excuse of having been abused as a child to be used in a defense strategy. Every single time that I get angry with my children, I think… do I want them to feel like I did when my b-mother was ‘punishing’ me? No. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, much less my own children. The difference being that I LOVE my children.

      I believe in a ‘two srikes’ policy regarding child abuse. Meaning that after an initial abuse has been proven, and you’ve been forced into anger management and counseling, that if you do it again, ALL of your children should be adopted out, and BOTH parents should be forced to be sterilized.

      I honestly can’t imagine how these people did the things they did to this child. It’s heartbreaking.

      Even though I can’t stand my ex for all the nasty things he’s done to me, and for being verbally and emotionally abusive towards me and our 2 boys, I do have to give him credit for one thing. I forced him to tell and show his children how much he loves them every day. As much as I can’t stand him, I know that he tells our boys he loves them, and tell them I love them every day. I think it’s a crime that there are parents who do not tell their children that they love them, and do not hug them or show that they love them.

      That’s why these stories break my heart… that it seems nobody ever loved these children. What kind of a sad life could that be?

    4. Angrier Citizen says:

      I read that the mother is claiming she had little or no part in this crime. What???? Huh???? Mother is god in a child’s eyes. Putting her child in a storage box and lying to people about her wherabouts, to me, proves she is a killer–not a level 32 mage. I have a 2 year old, and when he is naughty it can be some of the funniest stuff ever! I know in a few years I will miss the sweet little antics they are capable of at this age. Good luck to Mr and Mrs World of Warcraft–I heard that you will be well trained there.

      • nan says:

        I am sure these 2 were raised the same way they treated this child.
        The parent of this ZEIGLER animal should share a jail cell.
        Can’t wait until “ROYCE” (and there are 2 of them) gets his FAT ass in jail! Even convects have a code od ethic;s.THEY HATE BABY KILLERS

    5. Penny says:

      I didn’t see it mentioned, but they are reporting that Kimberly is like 8 months pregnate.

    6. Brittany says:

      I always have thought that there’s something weird about those warcraft / dungeons and dragons people.

      If I were that mother I would’ve put myself in front of the kid. Brainwashed or not I would take the blame for not being able to “train” my daughter properly.

      You correctional officers must have a load of fun with scum like this. I wanna be one, a juv one though. We’ll see what happens.

    7. Veridian says:

      I don’t even know what to say, this story has infuriated me so much. I can’t believe that there are people in the world who are really like this.

    8. Michelle says:

      Stepdad looks pretty mean, while mom looks pretty OFF! How else could she live with what had been done to this beautiful little girl? Psychos! Give the damn kids to someone that will love them if you can’t handle it! This mom had been in a custody battle over this little girl, which means her dad wanted her. Too bad for Riley he didn’t win. R.I.P. pretty girl.

    9. Louise Castens says:

      I’ve shed a million tears. If this child was bothering this couple this much, why didn’t the mother take her back to Ohio to her father and grandmother who loved her? Why didn’t she give her up for adoption if she did not want her?

      Baby Grace

      Little Riley, I never knew you
      Tour trials were not your due
      You left here all too soon
      For a home beyond the moon

      You will be so happy there
      Much to do, you’ll have your share
      I know you will forgive your Mother
      And God will love you like no other

      Louise Castens

      @Britanny
      I take offense to that! i happen to be one of those weird RPG playing people!
      In fairness though, you’re right in a sense i think. a lot of people i know that play online role playing games are very imaginative, some to a rather extreme level. At one time i too was able to play for days on end, spending as much as 12 hours a day online in the game. i can’t really explain what’s so enthralling about these games, but once i start i find it hard to get away from it. it’s gotten to a point where i was having vivd dreams about the game i was playing.

      • Mazzi says:

        I started playing Everquest, then moved on to various other games. I play WOW now. But I have NEVER let the game get in the way of my life. My house is clean, my laundry is done, my daughter was never late to school or any activities. She never missed a meal, and I never missed a performance or recital. I held down a job for years, and I am back in school with a 3.985 GPA.

        The difference is that I am not obsessive. I play to relax, and I use the time that some people might watch TV. And if I die, I die. I have been known to walk away from the middle of a fight and come back dead. No big deal – its a game. My life is reality. And the people I play with not only understand, they have the same priorities. If someone runs off in the middle of a raid to change a diaper, ah well.

        But yes – there are many people who get lost in the games. They lose all perspective and stop behaving like a real human. They cannot cope with the real world, and the structure of the game world means that the biggest losers in real life, will be the most sucessful players in game. (yeah – I am not an UBER player, lol).

        Anyway, don’t blame the games. Blame the players. As with anything else, weak-willed people cannot take responsibility for themselves and have no right to take responsibility for a child. Whether it be a videogame addiction, a drug addiction, alcoholism, or a just plain spoiled and entitled mentality, they have no ability to properly care for a child.

    11. LilMissSunshine says:

      Heres what you do… Sterilize the piece of crap mother, lock her up, throw away the key… castrate the stepdaddy, lock him up, throw away the key, then let the little girls father in a room with the mother of his baby and her “husband”, now thats justice… this woman gets me sooo pissed when she says it was all the stepfather… UmM… was she in a coma? If she wasn’t then it is her fault… my mother would have jumped in between me and whoever to protect me, no matter what, because that is what a mother is supposed to do…I hope they both get death, and if I have learned anyhting about Texas it is that they are not shy about giving someone death, even a woman, which in this case is WELL DESERVED and GloryBug, I must say, every post you write I become more impressed with you, more power to ya Girl!

    12. Brittany says:

      fair enough Dual…no offense towards you but I did the same thing with tetris at one point.

    13. ErricZ says:

      Yeah, we really need to start forced sterilizations in this country … child killers and molestors alike!

    14. shannon says:

      She probably was afraid they were going to make her pay child support so I am sure that is why she didn’t give her to her dad! Shameful isnt!

    15. sunshine says:

      I HATE hearing about mistreated children! My parents were very abusive, they got very angry over stupid things, just like this guy did. I endured the abuse until I could leave, and I haven’t been near them since.
      Now a parent of two beautiful children myself, I cannot understand their actions. Of course my kids make me angry sometimes, but I would never want to hurt them.
      I love my kids so much, and my husband and I have a great relationship with them, we are a very loving and fun family.
      It’s ridiculous to expect a 2 year old to remember their manners all the time. They learn them by repetition, over a long period of time.
      When my kids were little, if they handed me something, I would say “Thank-you” to them. They learned to say thank you, not because I MADE them, but b/c I said it to them on a regular basis!
      We speak to our children with manners and respect, and that is how they now speak to us, and others.
      AND, no matter what, this mother is equally guilty as the husband, b/c it was her job to protect her child. She should have headed back to Ohio when he told her to spank a TWO year old with a belt!

    16. mandy says:

      i whish they would make torture legal for these kind of people….lets start a petition..

    17. Hick Chick says:

      Let me just say…. I spank my children. I believe in discipline. Up until September 22 this year I was a single parent raising my kids. I had to be mom and dad. I am raising a young lady and a gentleman. I have worked at a hospital for years and have seen first hand how children are effected in abusive situations. It is time to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

      I take this depressing news to heart. I was never abused by my family. I cannot comprehend the thinking of injuring your own child.

      As far as I am concerned Kimberly is more guilty for allowing HER child not just to be beaten, drowned, and killed but participating in it herself. The fact that she would have risked her life on a man she met on the internet is her problem but to drag her child (whom is loved, cared for and wanted by her father) with her to be murdered shows that people can be monsters.

      Royce and Kimberly are MONSTERS and I hope that Justice is served. I hope that in this instance that the criminals take matters into their own hands in prison and that any correctional officers look the other way. I believe that Hell is too good for those two people.

      The thing that upsets me most is that the things this woman and man did to this child are awful but try to imagine during Baby Grace’s (Riley) Conscious moments what she felt. Have you ever been snapped with a wet towel playing around with your GROWN friends. Imagine that belt stinging your back leaving whelps over and over again when you were 2 years old, being hit in the face by the hand of the person that is supposed to protect you. Being dragged around by your hair to a tub where they proceed to drown you within an inch of your life and taking so much pleasure in it that they continue to keep you alive so that they can kill you over and over again. All she was trying to do was fight for her 2 year old little life and then in mid air asking GOD TO HELP SAVE HER while being thrown to the floor like a rag doll where she lies there motionless. Did these two people realize they had killed her? Yes…. Did they CARE? NOOOOOOOOO… They continued to disgrace her by putting her in a TOTE and left her to decompose in a building in the back yard for 2 months. I guess the stench was getting to bad to hide so they take the tote and throw this precious girl away like trash.

      Please take some time to read up on signs of child abuse so that you might be able to recognize suspicious behavior. I pray that this opens everyone’s eyes and that Baby Grace’s death is not in vain but instead makes everyone more aware when a neighbor child shows signs of abuse like…. not making eye contact, low self esteem, anti social, flinches when you motion to a child, controlling behavior in an adult, When you hear a child yelling or screaming NOOOOOOOOO mommy PLEASE, excessive crying… PLEASE just call 911!!!

    18. anon says:

      OMG! I can’t believe those people would actually do a 2-year old like that. Thats outrageous!! They need to be behind bars FOREVER!

    19. Echo says:

      I need 5 min alone with any of these sick f*c#s! What were they raised by?,…….nothing human could do this.

    20. Stacie says:

      Would someone slowly torture and kill these ugly freaks please…please…

    21. jill says:

      How could any one do this to this beautiful little girl? They are sick! I was abused as a child growing up, so was my father, my husband too, and we vowed never, never to hurt our children, in any way! I hold my 11 month old so close to me and smother her in hugs and kisses, when I hear of something like this, and we say a prayer together!
      What gets me is this….I lost a child, in utero, did nothing wrong throughout my pregnancy, these sick people have a beautiful little girl, and kill her. How could they have her, and I lost my baby?!
      Send these folks to hell where they belong!
      My prayers and thoughts are with the, Grandmother, father and the rest of the family. May God be with you all!

    22. The purpose of this petition is to provide a statement of intent to follow the protocol required in getting the island where Riley Ann Sawyers was found officially referenced geographically as “Riley’s Island .”

      On July 24, 2007, Riley Ann Sawyers was brutally murdered in Spring, Texas. Her mother and stepfather stand accused of her murder. On October 29, 2007, having been maliciously stored in a plastic storage container for months and then inhumanely tossed over the Galveston Causeway, the container that held her precious remains was found washed ashore on a small uninhabited island in Galveston Bay. She remained unidentified for several weeks and was known only as “Baby Grace.” The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI worked tirelessly to identify this child in order to serve justice for the barbarous crime and events encompassing her untimely death.

      In honor of Riley Ann, the dedicated investigators who continue the diligent work on her case, and those that have been deeply touched by her story, we are asking Galveston County and the City of Hitchcock to memorialize her life by officially naming the island where Riley Ann Sawyers was found “Riley’s Island .” As supporters of this appellation, we intend not only to commemorate Riley but to address the commitment of Galveston County as well as citizens of the state of Texas, the nation in alliance with the global community to banish child abuse. Please consider granting this heartfelt request to make the island a permanent memorial to an innocent child who was taken far too soon from this world.

      In memory of Riley Ann Sawyers – March 11, 2005 to July 24, 2007.

    23. Joel says:

      I believe in a spanking to some degree but not this early in life. And then to belt a two yr old? That is just sick. Followed by smothering her(attempted anyway). Then drwoning her and throwing her across the room. These two sick fucks should rot in hell. My heart hurts after reading this. My heart goes out to the father(i.e. the bilogocial father) and his family also to the girls parents. Knowing that such a sick thing happened to a defenseless toddler.

    24. marg says:

      the step father looks like a beast and a half-wit. The little girl Riley is adorable, an angel. A he-devil and a she-devil that killed an angel. How horrible. In a way God was merciful, her life would have been a living hell with those monsters. Why didnt the real father inquire after his daughter in monthes? poor thing never had a chance.

    25. EasTXWordMan says:

      I want to change my vote.

      I said that they both deserve hell, but after a few minutes’ introspective deliberation, I feel that I was in error.

      Hell is too good for these sick and twisted subhumans.

      What a waste of DNA these two are.

      Such a crying shame for something like this to happen to a 2-year-old child. As the father of four kids (including twin boys who are just sixteen months younger than their sister, plus a teenager) I know what it means for a parent to lose his patience, lose her cool–hell, I even admit to a nuclear detonation once in a great while. BOOM, it hits you, you’re so frustrated you have to

      –WALK AWAY.

      Why did Fatboy and his sidekick Weasel Girl not just WALK AWAY?

      Or, more important, why didn’t she throw herself in front of that witless freight-train, maybe toss in a few crotch-shots and then flatiron the back of his head with the toilet tank lid? Let me tell you about my wife: if that was one of our kids, the mop-bucket would have been stained pink that night, but the kid would have been a-ok. She is not to be messed with when it comes to her kids. I always thought that was a part of motherhood.

      I hope there’s a special room in hell where these two get the opportunity to try to run from giant-sized demons with leather straps and pillows and tubs of water. I hope they have the opportunity to gasp for breath between dunkings for eternity.

      I look forward to reading the article on the day these two get the needle.

    26. lilbug says:

      what on earth can a 2 year old do that would make you even think of doing something like this. there are so many women who can’t have children and to hear this just breaks my heart. you know they say what goes around comes around, maybe they’ll get what’s coming to them in prison.better yet, they don’t deserve 3 hots and a cot in prison., just sentence them to death and let the devil deal with them which is where they’re going anyway..

      The “mother” just had a son.

      Hopefully they keep him away from her for good.

      • TurtleMania says:

        Thanks a million for this update!

        Question is:
        Is the new baby better in foster care, or with his parents relatives?

        Frankly, I’m surprised they found the time to breed. They were heavily into video games, and all.

        Wait, who ALLOWED them to breed?! An atrocity in itself.

    28. Anita says:

      What these2 evil people did to this innocent baby make’s me sick,they deserve to burn in hell.

    29. Dee says:

      I wish I could get Zeigler in a lock room, just me and him and one knife. I would give him one chance to reach for it, before I would dismember his body limb by limb. They deserve more than hell and I wish that I could send them there worst than poor little Riley. She was an Angel.

    30. Amy says:

      Of course she is putting all the blame on him and claiming she didnt do anything. And that kinda sums up her part in all this. She didnt do anything…while her daughter was being beaten to death and then zipped up in a bag and finally dumped in the river, she did nothing to help her child.
      She is not a woman. She is not a mother. She is an egg doner/fetus carrier and she should have been shot once her role as such was over. Maybe then her beautiful daughter would be alive and well.

    31. Dave says:

      Maybe I’m weird, but I can’t contemplate beating these horrible people, or killing them, or dismembering them for their crime. I can’t honestly think of any appropriate punishment for this crime. All I can do is sit here with my jaw slack, reeling from the thought of what this tiny, poor, sweet little soul suffered at the hands of the people who should have protected her from all of the evil in the world. I don’t want to be brutal to the people who tortured this little girl. I want to find another child who feels fear when her mother or father are in the room, and protect her, take care of her, hold her, and make sure she is okay. I wish to God that someone had been there to do that for this innocent angel. If there could be a miracle here, I would not wish for the ability to harm those who tortured the girl. I would wish for the ability to take back her pain and fear and suffering. I would wish for her to be safe, and to feel love. I don’t know what else to say, but I can’t contemplate any kind of violence after imagining what these people did to their baby. I don’t want to feel their lack of pity or their rage.

      I’m so sorry, Riley.

      Sick and so nasty what happened. The only “good” thing – if you can call it that – is that they did this in Texas.

      At least we KNOW they’ll be getting their punishment very, very soon.

      Too bad they don’t fry – or hang.

But Kudos on your later words

        Actually, admin is a C.O., and from what I know about the man, a very good one. The best I can tell you is that there’s always method to his madness, always a reason why his stories are written as they are. I’m impressed that you said YOU didn’t get it, not that the story sucked. We had another story a while back where a baby was murdered by her parents, and it was written in a very unusual style for our little blog. The author took a lot of abuse from some folk who suddenly morphed into literary critics and English teachers. I was offended by them and it wasn’t even my story, because I felt they just didn’t understand what he was trying accomplish, but chose to kill the messenger instead.

      Royce Clyde Zeigler II should be whipped to death with a thick copper cable.

      No words I can say can describe the rage I feel for these monsters. These people are worst than terrorist. Actually, I would call them child terrorist. The people of this country should unite and make sure any “Child Terrorist” would never see or be near a child again. The death penalty would be too good from them!!!!

      Oh, wow, I didn’t know they met playing WOW- makes sense.
      He looks like a dwarf and she looks like a fucking troll. Or an orc. I don’t think they have orcs on WOW do they?

      The prison population will take good care of these two. The ‘mother’ was just convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

      They will be known as “short eyes” in prison; child murderers and child rapists are given that name. Once they are discovered in prison, plans will be made by the other inmates and these two animals will be given a lot of attention in brutal fashion.

      Remember when you were a child and shaken up by a teacher or anyone else angry. (I am now 60 years old) When I was 5 years old, a teacher grabbed me by the shoulders and shooked me real hard as if I did something wrong or I was not listening. All I remember was the trauma but not the reason (I could not even understand what the teacher was saying), in fear I responded “yes” while be
      asked repeatedly “you understand!” Two year old Baby Grace is too young to comprehend what was going on, BUT she was willing and tried to be compliant in the only way she knew how by saying “Mommy, I love you” and it is natural she understood what “mommy I love you” meant even at two years old!

    39. Jason says:

      Well said 60 year old Jason. Nearly 30 years separates us, but I think this nails it right on the head.

      stories like this just break my heart..the sad thing is that
      these two losers will proubly get protected in prison..i heard
      that these kind of people usaully get seperated in there
      which is a shame here knowone was there to protect
      their children..i and many others say put them in a
      room with inmates that hate child abusers..that know
      what they did now that would be true justice..has anyone
      also noticed that these child abusers always look evil and
      mean just look at their eyes..or like druggie tweeker types..
      i feel so sorry for these poor innocent children..can you
      imagine their fear..

    41. Hazelgrl says:

      I am so glad the smart jury sentenced her to life..although both
      of these trashes deserve life…as a woman myself i hold her
      more responsible then the other loser..for not protecting
      her daughter and putting her first..lets not forget he was
      the step dad..not the childs real father..i know their
      are some very good step fathers\step mothers but we all know
      their are also very mean step fathers and step mothers..
      that sometimes are jealous of the child..one thing i notice
      about many of these stories is the guy is usually not
      the childs real father…

      Riley Ann Sawyers is so pretty! She would have been such a beautiful woman when she grew up! I’ll never understand how people do things like this. So she couldn’t remember to say “please” and “yes, sir”. It’s not a big deal. She probably could barely even talk! I read in another article that while she was being beaten, Riley said “I love you” to her mother in an effort to get her mother to stop. She tries to reach out to her mom and Kimberly just keeps beating her and letting her get beat. This is such a heartbreaking story! I saved a pictured of this little girl on my computer. I don’t see why Kimberly didn’t just leave Riley with her grandmother and father. They obviously cared for her more than this woman and her screwed-up husband! I hope what Kimberly and Zeigler did to Riley is done to them everyday for the rest of their lives so they can feel Riley’s pain. And when they’re dead, I hope puts their bodies in a container that will sink and throws them into the ocean!

      But the State of Texas did not seek the death penalty, even though one of the aggravating factors for the death penalty in the State of Texas is “Murder of an individual under 6 years of age” – what happened in this case??? If any case deserves the death penalty, it’s this one – for both individuals.

    44. Andy says:

      The death penalty is an easy way out. These 2 don’t deserve an easy way out.

    45. AgJu says:

      Ha ha! Ugly fat fuck was obviously a loser at life so he decided to show what a big man he was the only way he knew how…..devoting all his time to WoW and beating the crap out of a 2 year old for not treating him like a King. Idiot.

      Hell for both of them. :)

    46. Mom of a 2 year old says:

      What a horrible way for that little girl to die. It was really hard for me to read all the horrifying things that were done to this child. What I would like to do to these two people I can’t even write out because it would be 10x as horrible as what they did to that poor girl. May she rest in peace and may those scumbags rot in jail for the rest of their lives.

    47. Cass says:

      My Blood Elf can kick both these loser’s asses

    48. Jenean says:

      I wish I never read this article because it pissed me the f*ck off and just depressed me. I would never even imagine doing those horrible things to anyone! How could this demonic man do this to a baby and how in the Hell did the mother allow this treatment to her own child? WTF????!!!!! I’m not even going to pray for their souls. They belong in Hell. I have never hated someone as much as I hate these two, sick @ssholes.

      • VCBecky says:

        Don’t be depressed. Look at your reaction, and think of the fact that you’re a human being and they’re not. They’re something much less than human.

        Then think of the fact that the majority of the people who find out about this case will have your reaction. That means the world is still mostly sane.

        This is my way of making her sacrifice mean something. Take it to heart, and always be appalled.
