Missing Lancaster girl found dead
The body of an 18-month-old reported abducted by her mother has been found, causing the mother to change her story. She now has told police that the baby’s death was an accident.
Emma Leigh Barker’s remains were found by investigators after they determined there “were several inconsistencies” with her mother’s story, authorities said. The girl’s body was found near Roxford Street and El Dorado Avenue, concealed by deep overgrown brush alongside a fence.
Authorities said it appeared the girl’s 25-pound body had been dumped sometime over the last 24 hours and showed no visible signs of trauma.
The girl’s mother, Stacy Barker, 20, initially told detectives that she was at a Lancaster park next to the Antelope Valley Freeway about 5 p.m. and had placed Emma in her car seat. The mother said she was “struck from behind by an unknown assailant” and knocked unconscious, sheriff’s homicide Lt. Pat Nelson said.

That person who calls herself a mom? She did not have any feelings for that baby at all, the fear that the little darling felt when she saw the horror in her moms face. That baby could feel the love,careing, got the protection from her mom before evil touched her (the mom) and took control of her life.
To many of these precious children are beinng abused from hurt to murder, we have got to do something to protect our children and children of others. The children are the future.

Why are these so-called “people” hurting and killing children? As soon as they start to think about murdering someone, especially an innocent child, they should go lock themselves up in a mental institution or better yet…they should just kill themselves.
