Here on Stollen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking cases against children.

Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.

I do try my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories

and leave out unnecessary details that honestly,

none of us need to know to understand the frustration

of why and how this ever happened. However, if you find any of these themes triggering,

this podcast may not be for you. Listener discretion is advised. This case really has me questioning how I truly feel.

Sometimes the perpetrator really is a victim of circumstance themselves,

sometimes from an abusive childhood,

sometimes from severe undiagnosed mental illness.

This story today has that. A woman that was destined to fall from the start, only for this woman to have a child of her own. And then for this story to end with one of the most horrific

murders we have ever covered here on

the podcast. Please heed to the listener discretion warning at the top of this episode.

This episode will include a recording of the callous description and graphic detail from the

mother herself, of what happened in the morning she brutally and senselessly murdered her newborn baby.

This isn't a story of systematic child abuse or neglect. This is one of a mother that never

had the tools to have a baby, but desperately wanted to be a mother. It should have you

questioning. Are we doing enough to treat mental health in your country?

Are we doing enough to support those who grow up mistreated and abused?

Are there child murderers who deserve another chance of freedom?

This is Janiya's story.

Deasia Watkins' life was never easy.
